They are all similar. It's not quite as smooth as actual seat belt material, which is good. Otherwise they'd all slip and slide around even when you don't want them to. They are a nice blend that stay relatively well put but can slide with ease when needed.

Bose has the punchier bass if that's your thing 💪💪

@@JohnScottB i don't understand how some say the xm5 is more bass. Is it because the xm5 bass is louder?

@@jasonMB999 the XM5's have more detailed EQ control as I showed in the video. "more bass" in some ways is subjective. I like my bass to be punchy and articulate, not overwhelming. For that, the Bose win. YMMV on what you're looking for.

@@JohnScottB thank you for the explanation. So basically the xm5 is overwhelming?

​@@jasonMB999senheiser got better bass

Sounds like you are connecting the microphone via USB to the USB2 of your Rodecaster Duo, is that correct? The effects and headphone jack monitoring are for when you are plugged in via usb directly to your computer. You don't need those things when using the Rodecaster since you can plug your headphones into that. When using the Rodecaster, there's no benefit to this Podmic USB VS the original Podmic. Hope that helps.

Same!! I really like the new look that looks more black than the shadow one. Especially the light inner lining material. The feel of the original ones are very nice thought. So, I'm currently torn between the two. Ahhh.

@@SamanthaPangkey haha. I have ordered three, the two black ones and the arcade grey which is apparently yet another fabric. Let’s see, should arrive today. I’ll probably go for a black one, but the arcade grey is pretty cool as well.

Haha thanks. That's the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.

@@JohnScottB oh looks incredible

Which sling? The 20mm I showed in the video is the same size as the kit lens. The 18-50 would be tough in the 4L Lite Mini but it'd fit in the Venture 6L for sure.

Everything here applies, except the S10 is a little bigger and doesn't have the side fingerprint reader. I don't recommend the S22 - you can check my video on the S22 vs the S23. Both the S23 and S24 are much better than the S22.

I agree. Have both and the older version for sure feels softer.

Yeah it's a little more stiff. It sits somewhere between the original material and the Venture sling material.

@@JohnScottBthanks for this

To be honest, I don't wear bags as hip packs so I didn't test this!

Often true!

That is a bit too ambitious. I have an A7IV as well. It fits in the Venture 6L but not the mini 4L. That said my A7C fits in the mini with a Samyang 35mm f2.8 which is about as close as you can get to a pancake lens on Sony full frame. Hope that helps.

@@JohnScottB Great, thanks for the info! Much appreciated!!

I haven't yet tested the Sennheiser set, so I can't really comment there. That said, as mentioned in the video I think the wings on the Bose are really helpful for getting them to stay sealed in my ears so in my opinion they are worth a shot for you. The Sennheisers also have a small flange on them, so it may be a similar fit. Let me know if you end up trying and liking the Sennheisers!

@@JohnScottB yeah as for fit i feel like bose is best . Sennheiser could be fine too. I will try bose thanks for quick reply appreciated keep up good works

​@@erkanvural3621Did you buy them?

Glad it was helpful for you!

Thanks so much for the comment! I got a lot of value out of your channel whole researching bags 😊

@@JohnScottB happy to hear that we are helping one another in this community.

I know the general consensus is that Bellroy bags capacity are overstated in terms of liters. That said, I've been impressed with how the mini can carry due to that gusset system.

No plans at the moment. I kept the new fabric version of the mini 4L. That video is here if you haven't seen it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcdgd5WUu7CaiKc.html

My favorite of these three is the 2.5L. It was ideal for me if I didn't want to carry a camera. The Venture 6L and 9L would be better for travel. The 4L Lite Mini is ultimately the one I kept due to it being the perfect size for my carry needs. YMMV!

That's correct, but here's my video comparing the old fabric and the new. It's the exact same design and dimensions, just new materials. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcdgd5WUu7CaiKc.html

@@JohnScottB just wondering why you chose to compare the old version and not the new? Given that the material is identical to the other two

@@anthonygadd295 It's definitely not identical - but much closer. The new version was not released yet when I filmed this comparison video. I released them out of order because I wanted to get the fabric comparison video out asap.

Just posted a new video that includes the Lite Mini and a section of what I pack in there: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntmgkqZ2vM2VqGQ.html. I have a Sony A6400 w/ a 20mm lens that fits well but I think the Leica Q3 is bigger in most dimensions, particularly depth with the lens. The Kindle Paperwhite will fit for sure. I have an older model which is a little smaller than current gen and it fits with a bit of extra room to spare.

Yep. I currently have the following 3 slings: 1) Bellroy Premium Sling Mini (4L) Deep Plum 2) Bellroy x Carryology (Chimera Edition) Sling (6L) 3) Bellroy Venture Sling Nightsky (9L)

I mainly go out with the 4L one if its urban setting or nearby cafe as it is enough to bring my daily essentials. If I’m out the entire day with activities planned I will bring the 6L. If I go out on hiking trip or any strenuous activity, I will bring the 9L.

Nice collection. How do you like that new Carryology collab?

@@JohnScottB I guess I’d say apart from the hefty price at 369 dollars for me (USD 239): The quality and material of the nylon used is quite thick and durable/slightly harder as compared to the venture sling material, so it’s heavier than both the venture and lite sling series. The eco-tanned leather (black) at the front is authentic leather used and holds up well as a protective layer of the front compartment. However things to note for this Chimera 6L sling: It’s heavier than both my 4L sling mini and 9L venture sling so it may already weigh quite a bit on your shoulder before you put anything else in it. The padded strap on the sling is non-movable. So meaning you cannot shift it downwards from where it’s up at - so if you wanna switch from left to right shoulder and still want the padding on, you’ll have to unbuckle both ends of the entire strap and swap the orientation around. Which is pretty hard to do due to the very thick engineered fabric hooks that make it easy to put the strap ends on but very hard to remove both ends to swap.

Also to add: since this is already very thick and nylon 600D like material -> the amount of compartment space you’ll have (especially the main area) is already reduced and restricted. So if you try to stuff a lot of items it may not hold up the expandable form as well as your lite sling or the OG venture sling bags.

Strap is maybe 1/2" wider on the Venture 6L. Comfort is subjective and depends how much weight you have in the bags. But all things being equal, the wider strap of the 6L is more comfortable for me.
