The Ultimate Everyday and Camera Sling / Crossbody / Waist Bag Guide 2023 2024 !!!

[@DoUNoHarm]

I like Peak Design 6L ver2, but I like PD sling 10L ver1 more. I'm still using 10L ver1. I think you're right, the front pocket is really small, maybe Peak Design need a ver3 for sling bags. But all these bags you mentioned I like Peak Design the most, mainly because of its stiff surface.

[@DesmondCheng]

they just released a new sling bag! its on kickstarter!

[@AminaCosta-e6k]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

[@craigcarlson4022]

Very helpful review, thanks!

[@DesmondCheng]

i recently got the wandrd rogue 6L. its amazing!

[@LL-zk2ny]

Appreciated your comments on each of the slings. But it would be more helpful if you had MORE LIGHT into the Interior of each sling especially when they're mostly dark colored.

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks for the input, ill definitely try to add more light in my next videos!

[@shiveringisles3509]

Fjallraven is my fav small light sling, generous 3 compartments, mesh back, is hip pack/sling/packable, but I wish we had a minimal branding version or cooler new material like VX42, would look much better if it holds the shape when empty, but then it would not be so packable.

[@fachiro1]

The Grams28 bag looks really nice

[@DesmondCheng]

oh it definitely is! They have a new 172 camera bag =). Here's my review of it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/np7SkqKNrptsiJI

[@LongworthLucyM]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@martinmaison6421]

Over 30 bags collected peak design is the best among all

[@DesmondCheng]

nice!

[@BleepingWorld]

Can you demo sling backpacks please. they are bigger then slings so i am wondering if you can open them when slinged forward, or what that would look like? Are they functional?

[@DesmondCheng]

Did you have some specific sling backpacks in mind?

[@BleepingWorld]

@@DesmondCheng K&F Concept Camera Sling Bag - small side of what I'm talking about. Most interest in medium size. Maybe MOSIS or TARION - this one is a good size. Most pics show them fliping it around, instead of actually slinging it. Im envisioning an upside down backpack, which means these are totally pointless

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks, if i get my hands on one ill review it! @@BleepingWorld

[@klipschs]

Awesome review! Going for the ulanzi or if budget can stretch the venture 6L. Thanks!!

[@DesmondCheng]

great choice!

[@intrinsicimagery]

I quit Peak Design for Wandrd 6L.

[@DesmondCheng]

i actually got the wandrd 6L and made a video about it recently!

[@riffraff1285]

if you havent sold the 10L Bellroy sling...can i buy it?

[@DesmondCheng]

sorry it has sold! im probably going to sell my venture camera sling though if u are interested

[@riffraff1285]

@@DesmondCheng isn’t that the one I asked about? If so…yes definitely interested

[@DesmondCheng]

@@riffraff1285 the one featured in this video is just the regular venture sling. But bellroy made a camera specific one with padded dividers! i already sold the bellroy venture sling. and now i have the bellory camera sling one. but gonna sell the camera specific one. here is the video about that one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4qqpX-MbJabmK8

[@riffraff1285]

@@DesmondCheng I would definitely be interested in purchasing the camera specific one

[@riffraff1285]

Is there a way to reach out to buy it? Like a business email?

[@EricHoefler]

Bellroy is so close but the top zipper doesn’t fully close the bag. It’s infuriating!

[@harryproctor4008]

Thanks for making this video! You seem like the perfect person to ask given the amount of bags you’ve reviewed! I’ve got the R6 mark ii, rf28-70 & rf70-200 2.8. I want a small discreet sling bag that can fit the above in. I won’t need any additional space, so looking for something that’s compact. Having checked the measurements for the peak design 6 litre sling, I thought it would be just right but I can’t close the zip. Do you have any recommendations for something discrete/compact that could fit my kit? Thanks in advance, Harry

[@DesmondCheng]

Hey Harry, sorry for the late reply was on vacation! Hmm those are some pretty beefy lenses. I don't have those lenses anymore so I cant do testing but I something in the 9L-10L range might work best. The PGYTECH ONE MO Sling might work!

[@harryproctor4008]

@@DesmondCheng hi Desmond, thanks so much for getting back to me. My apologies now for the late response! I don’t see KZbin notifications! You’re right, they’re definitely beefy lenses! I opted for the billingham hadly pro 2020. It fits everything in including filters and some sound kit, so is ideal! Although I’ll check out the pygtech one as I’d like some just for the camera and lenses without all the additional kit! Best regards, Harry

[@lhnsln]

Which one will fit iPad Pro 12.9"?

[@DesmondCheng]

ooo i dont think any of the ones i have will do that! But the new AER tech sling that just came out will!

[@DONK0]

ulanzi or bellroy 6l? also have you seen the k&f concept 10l sling?

[@DesmondCheng]

i would choose ulanzi if i were to be traveling and carrying more than just 1 lens. but if im just carrying a single camera/lens, then i would go bellroy. oooo i did not see the k&f, but just looking at it now, looks great!!!!! if they were to reach out, i'd do a video =)

[@soulhitlee]

Hi Desy, which sling bag do you recommend for daily carry that fits an umbrella and a Sony A7 camera? Thanks!

[@DesmondCheng]

Wandrd Rogue 6L! I did a review on it recently!

[@KODYGnlp]

Will the Sony you put in the bellroy also fit in the grams133 with the lens on?

[@DesmondCheng]

Yes, check out my full review of it ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpq5iGmhj9KhlZI

[@KODYGnlp]

@@DesmondCheng gotcha definitely squished haha. My setup is the zve10 with sigma 16mm and the rode wireless go mics. I don’t like how bulky it made the bag, do you think taking the lens off would make that bag work well with this setup?

[@DesmondCheng]

hmmm tough to say, but its not ideal to take the lens off!!@@KODYGnlp

[@YanFries]

No wandrd sling or modern dayfarer?

[@DesmondCheng]

maybe for my 2024 one it will make it!

[@MattersonSumlar]

I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..

[@mahekhamster]

What was the name of the cheap bag the one at 4:38

[@DesmondCheng]

i dont actually know! it was on amazon and it was just something generic like "tactical sling bag"

[@mahekhamster]

Oh. hmmmmmmm @@DesmondCheng

[@backslashio]

PeakDesign slings definitely need a v3, the front pocket is almost non-functional & should be hidden on the back instead for a larger opening. I sold my 3L recently because whilst excellent for my camera, a couple of primes and maybe a battery there's just no space for anything else - not even a mobile unless you take the camera out first but then you have to re-organise it and fumble around. The 6L is better yet thanks to their shape they bounce around quite easily, disappointing and clearly style before function. I like the Venture 6L having gotten one myself recently, the cushioned bottom helps although I still find it tricky once you start putting a camera with lens + another lens and there's no handle to grab on the go

[@NihasLaurito]

En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.

[@cccycling5835]

If you want to look like every other amateur poser photographer, then buy a Peak Design Bag. They sell them in Best Buy. Most overrated garbage. I almost lost a 70-200 and a D850 to a Peak Design Everyday Zip. DOWN A CLIFF too. Never again. I would rather buy Wandrd or Mindshift or Lowepro. You know, real bags that aren’t crowdfunded fashion. Buy a Billingham. You’re welcome.

[@DesmondCheng]

i got a wandrd rogue after making this video, love it!

[@nugrahakusuma697]

No love for Domke? 🥹

[@Shenepoy]

by far the best is the ulanzi (it's the better version of bellory but worse material) I wish for more premium versio and little bit taller like by 2cm

[@DesmondCheng]

ive been using hte wandrd rogue 6L lately, been loving it!

[@sonicmistress]

Nice video but for me and depends where you are taking photos, I'd never wear it on my back in certain places as Pickpockets love bags that are worn like that and to add they also almost never actually put everything in a bag, they look great empty but sometimes not that practical when fully loaded, in some of the bags they had internal pockets but clearly unusable when a Camera is put in it but a nice range of bags to investigate so thanks for that.

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks!

[@jedunboxing4127]

Peak design is over rated 😅

[@DesmondCheng]

some of their stuff is great!

[@jedunboxing4127]

​@@DesmondCheng Kudos to them for giving Chinese companies some inspiration,a base model they can copy 😂

[@nimai0108]

Overpriced as well.

[@HollowGTX]

$150 hell no 😂

[@cccycling5835]

100% Peak Design is overrated. $250 for a Peak Design Messenger when you can buy a BILLINGHAM for that much. I sold all of mine after two of my PD bags zippers failed and went to Billingham and Mystery Ranch for backpacks. “Peak” Design. What hubris.

[@Albertoabrian]

Please do head to head Ulanzi 6L vs PD 6L

[@DesmondCheng]

good idea! unfortunatley i sold my PD 6L. and i dont have the ulanzi 6L!

[@sdophoto1405]

Great video. Just when I think I have found what I am looking for- was narrowing it down to a few different alpaka ones I think that bellroy might actually the perfect fit for my needs. Not too big and yet can fit my camera and a lens.

[@DesmondCheng]

nice! theres too many good options out there!

[@jSebastien]

i've been thinking of getting a sling bag for work. which one would be great for just carrying an iPad Air, a water bottle, pens, and paper sides.

[@DesmondCheng]

hmmmm aer sling max is nice!

[@jSebastien]

that's a solid sling. thanks for the find @@DesmondCheng

[@DesmondCheng]

YOU are solid =) @@jSebastien

[@stefanosk27]

I recently got the 3L Peak Design, but the internal storage is not enough for me, although the external size is too bulky! So, I'm now considering the Bellroy Sling, 6L or 9L. I've heard though that the 6L is actually close to the 3L of the Peak Design! What do you think?

[@DesmondCheng]

I like the 6L, but there's no dividers so not ideal for carrying a camera system. but if u are just carrying just one camera body with lens attached, then the 6L is great. The 9L is too big. But if you are carrying a larger DSLR with a larger lens like a 24-70mm, then the 9L is a good size

[@darrenhaken]

Have you tried Wotancraft?

[@DesmondCheng]

i have the wotancraft pilot backpack! i heard great things about the sling too! I will be doing an updated video on sling bags in a month or so =)

@@DesmondChengsuper! An updated backpack one would be great as well 😊

@@darrenhaken yup its in the pipeline. aiming hopefully early november ish

[@DesmondCheng]

nice ill have to check those out!

[@redesignedlife777]

I'm gona be selling my peak design. it's too stiff

[@DesmondCheng]

agreed!

[@MiladJP]

Get yourself a Domke F2, used in horrible condition :) It will be an awesome companion.

[@DesmondCheng]

Thanks for the advice, will look into it!

[@sergiboix]

and what about camera with grip, for example A7R5, no one of these bags are not useful

[@DesmondCheng]

oh yeah unfortunately all of these slings wouldn't be great for a camera with a grip. u might have to get an actual camera bag sling! I know lowepro makes a toploader that fits a camera with a grip!
