ALPAKA Air Sling V2 - The right sling for you?

[@Yeen_Beans]

Would this fit an Ipad Air 5? Cause man im looking at the dimensions and it would look like it would fit an ipad air perfectly, and I really like that thin profile and am interested 👀

[@david_does]

Hey! I am actually not sure - I don't have an iPad Air 5. But, I will try to find one today and test it out. I will report back 🙂

[@david_does]

Just made a quick short trying it out. Check it out 🙂 kzbin.infoQWYf9nkCjmw

I’ve been scouring KZbin for vids on sling bags that fit iPad mini. I think this strikes a nice balance of being minimal and practical. Can’t carry the whole house but definitely essentials like cables, wall adapter and power banks plus my AirPods. Thanks for the great vid and the follow up with strap fix too

[@david_does]

Thank you! I agree I think it's quite a good mix. It's a really nice bag to take your iPad mini with you. If you pick it up I hope you enjoy! 🙂

[@david_does]

🙂 Absolutely, pros and cons to each bag. Try it out, you can always sell it or pass it on.

Nice review. Picked one up

[@david_does]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for the review I love alpaka slings I just would love to see if there's one for the steam deck

[@david_does]

Thanks Walter 🙂 me too! The steam deck is an awesome unit.

Thanks for the review. It’d be nice to see how a water bottle would fit into it since this is a very common EDC item. Also, I saw other reviewers mention their height in the b-roll section just to get a sense of how the bag looks compared to the viewer’s body frame.

[@david_does]

Hey Ariel - thanks for the feedback! I've been enjoying the sling. That's a great point, later today/tomorrow I'll take a few photos or a short reel of trying a few water bottles.

[@david_does]

Also good call on mentioning my height on the b-roll section. I will have to include that in future videos. I am 6'1". Also, added a few photos of the sling with a water bottle to my channel 🙂

So I got one of these, love everything about it but the straps, I find it doesn’t keep your size adjustment well when you take it on and off, and the elastic keepers are better at sticking to me than to the straps, so every time I swing it around front or back I get huge loops of strap sticking out and have to readjust. I tried to find some aftermarket triglides or keepers that i could get on without cutting the stitching off the straps but so far no luck. Have you found any tricks to help with this?

[@david_does]

Hey Roger! I think I have a good solution to this. I'm going to make a KZbin short explaining my idea. I'll reply back here when it's posted. Thank you for the idea! 🙂

[@david_does]

Hey! I just made a quick community post with two possible solutions. A temporary fix and a permanent fix I am working on. I think I found some Triglides we can use that will not require us to re-sew the straps. I ordered the Triglides from Amazon to try and will film a KZbin Short video when they are in to confirm if it works.

[@rogerp.2442]

@@david_does Great! looking forward to it 😄

[@madride858585]

You don’t have to slide the magnet clasp on just place it on top

[@david_does]

Great catch!! It just pops right back on 🙂
