I remember assisting several photographers who had the photoflex fanny pack, as it was sold in all the camera stores. That is so cool your Dad was an original founder! Great equipment all around with photoflex. You have a terrific personality, I find your review so informative, plus you are funny. It’s a total pleasure viewing you. Thank you to your Dad, and to yourself!

Wait! Don’t bury the lede! Your father was a part of PhotoFlex! Wow. My favorite all time camera bag rig was the PhotoFlex/Galen Rowell collaboration. I still have it from the 90s. It was a modular sling/waist system that just worked perfectly. Photoflex made GREAT stuff at a time when it was difficult to find bag innovation. Many kudos to your father. Your passion for bags comes honestly. You should be proud of your legacy. Respect.

I looked for a replacement for a shoulder bag for a Sony e-mount, 18-200 mm power zoom, 8" tablet with keyboard, battery pack, accessories and the now usual daily carry of mobile phone, wallet, multitool, sanitizer, face mask. In trying to fit these into bags from 1.25 litre to 10 litre I found that the quoted size of a bag differs from what you can pack into it. A soft padded Bobby Sling at 4.5 litres held more than bags at 6 and 7 litres. Went for this because of the look and similarity to the Bobby Bizz. Different opening style and is not symmetrical to allow you to swap shoulders. The 6 litre ALPAKA Go Sling seems tiny but held almost as much as the larger slings. It lacks external straps and pockets so can't fit tripod or water bottle. With clips they could be hung off the D rings. This is also a sling that works as pouch to go into everyday carry backpack or carry on luggage - even though removing the sling strap is not quick. The X-pac limited edition versions, sold in black and then green earlier in 2021, are lighter and possibly even more hard wearing. The X-pac version of the Instinct Pro Camera Sling is much lighter than the basic model. X-pac is lighter and stronger the material on most bags. With the straps and two side pockets carries everything comfortably. The majority of slings seem to work well enough when nearly empty e.g. just a camera, lens and spare batteries but no tablet or just a tablet and EDC items. Going to 10 litres size (and more) soon gets to a brick that is 7-9kg and will not stay in place when you bend over or ride a bicycle (hence the stabilising strap on some). It can be a lot to have over just one shoulder. At least I am not trying to lug around a 14 kg hard case with a should mount video camera as I did along the Great Wall of China. Most have to be obtained direct from the manufacturer or specialised outlets. You can't work out from videos or photographs if it will work for your stuff or not. The best you can do is reduce it to a small number to get in to try. This is not cheap when looking at several 100USD slings with very similar features on paper.

My first sling was the Canon fanny-pack akin to the 200EG backpack. Pain in the butt to get stuff in and out because of the design. I now have the Nomatic/McKinnon one and it's amazing. They redesigned the bungee cord attach point and it works much more smoothly than the pre-production model shown in the video. Highly recommend it.

The Incase Ari Marcopolous bag has been my all time fav for over a decade now. The original grey material was super tough and sturdy. Just managed to score one in the limited Black Leather version recently. Unfortunately the Ari bag was discontinued but their current camera sling is basically the same thing but with cheaper materials.

Chase you continue to be the 🐐 in this space! Glad WANDRD has engaged you but for the love of you know who, they need to call you WHILE they are designing their next bag (if they do). Or redesigning. They hit it with PRVKE and then get like almost all the way there with each next release and then fumble near the goal line (exception: PRVKE new models 21L and 40L and V2 of 21L and 31L .. they did great on those!). I don't get it! But would like them to succeed! I just can't get myself to buy a McKinnon bag, not sure why (or maybe I am).

Find a solution yet, Marland? I’ve spent the last two years alternating between the grey v1 and the tan v2 Peak Design Everyday Messenger 15. I carry an HP Spectre 15”, R5 with battery grip, 70-200mm RF and 24-70mm RF. My only complaint is that the zipper over the laptop area needs to either be replaced or have the stitching repaired. When I need to carry another body, 15-35mm RF and a drone, I move over to the LowePro ProTactic BP 450 AW II.

Wandrd sleeve for a laptop has a shoulder strap and you can fix their tech pouch to it. It means you only have to carry what you now need. A neat and flexible solution. To carry all, DSLR and large tablet and all the accessories you are better off with a backpack, but then you always have a backpack and not something that can be a lot smaller.

really helpful, thank you. Im looking for something on the smaller side, ended up buying a tomtoc, which is great, if I didnt need to put a camera in it. So back to the drawing board. I have concluded, I need a 30x20 (x10ish) bag to compete with my existing and be more useful. The 6L moment looks so close to a finish if it wasnt for the lack of water bottle holder, otherwise as a camera rig it has everything. very helpful to see all the sizes in this video.

I watched this because I've been in the market for a photography orientated sling, instead of using a big ol' backpack (I have Shimoda Action X30) or a poorly padded bag. I've been waiting for the Nomatic X McKinnon because it seemed like the Peak Design ones, but better designed for photographers. Now I'm not sure cause the Wandrd Roam is very nice (I really like their new Prvke Lite as well), as well as the Moment Rugged. I don't have an iPad so maybe I'll still go with the Nomatic or one of the smaller Wandrd offerings.

If that Wandrd Roam 9l was longer would be perfect. Don't necessarily need the height. Why can't someone make something for a camera and 70 - 200 attached? A very common set up. For it to lay horizontally not vertically. Would work with the Wandrd but no room for just a few small extras like the Fuji x100v.

Niiiice round up. Been using the Peak 10L as a work bag around the house and outdoor settings while the office is still closed. I can actually just fit my laptop in there but I tend to just pop it in sideways and leave the zipper open since it'll be the first in/last out pretty much all the time. I really like the look of the Metromonger too but not sure I have an immediate purpose for it. Would you say it's as big as the Peak 10L? Awesome content as always.

Hopefully you didn't go with the Peak Design 10L. I made that mistake. It's a great looker, and terrific materials, and the design STINKS! The bottom is rounded - the thing won't stand up on it's own. The lid doesn't open and stay open - always flopping over. Just sold mine and went for the more basic, simple, and functional HEX Ranger DSLR Sling Bag.

I tried the Hex DSLR sling, and promptly sent it back. The bag has essentially no structure; you might as well through your equipment in a padded duffel bag. The tiny dividers had no chance of keeping expensive gear protected when the bag sags and droops under the weight of even my mirrorless G9. Very disappointing, because the size was perfect and the materials were solid... these folks just don't understand what makes a good camera bag.
