I had just ordered this one thinking it would fit my sony a6400. I was able to cancel it after seeing this review. I am struggling to find the perfect smaller bag
Hi, Marlon. That was a nice color of bag u got there. I think the 6-liter version is fit for ur camera and other gears. They also have the 10-liter version. But this one is already good for me. To pack all the things with a well-organized compartment plus so many pockets on this bag was really awesome. Also well build with a very good material too. The only downside is the plastic holder for the strap. It's very loose and the strap is always slipping from it. (the older version doesn't have the adjustable buckles yet) For the money, this bag is worth every penny. In terms of being well organized and capacity, it's a winner compared to my Bellroy Sling Mini. Nice videos, buddy, and cheers from Malaysia. 🙂✌
Thank you, yes its very difficult to find the perfect bag and perfect size. I literally do not want to go too big with this, and, 6 litre felt like it was too much but that may be the next size I look at. All the best from UK
Heya, Depends how big the bank is? The bag is small and when you put the ipad mini in, it doesn't allow for much bulk, a slim line one could work, and depends if you put anything else in.
Heya, yeah I think it works best on left and that is how I wear it. However it works on the right should also (just tried it for you), I would say just as well, only consideration is that the clip on the strap is then on your back rather than down near your waist. Hope that helps.
Heya, I personally don't own this camera, as a comparison i could fit my Sony a6400 with the kit lens detached (and that would be a tight fit). But a bigger lens I dont think I would fit camera and lens in there (kit lens is tiny). So I think I would have to say no to be safe.
@@MarlonKingShow Nice! I'm a "retired" drummer but Opeth is my favorite band. Seen them 11 times. So it was quite a surprise to see that logo when I was just coming to look at a review on a bag. :)
Cheers dude. Yes, that is my first PRS guitar, and was as I expected, very enjoyable guitar to own. You a guitarist also? Made a video about the guitar here if you are interested... th-cam.com/video/bnsDub6Ro0U/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I used to play guitar in a melodic death metal band and be the singer of a progressive death metal band. But that was many years ago Hahahah... Sure I will watch your video as soon as I have some time!
@@eugene7025 very cool, melodic death metal, now there is something you don't come across that often. always appreciate hearing from other musicians. have a good one!
Not sure on the size of the newer ones, my ipad mini 2014 fits in with case, but if you over load the bag then it won't close, as the ipad goes right up to the zip almost.
Can someone please tell me what size the strap is so I can purchase a replacement buckle for it lol. I cannot find it on the Internet anywhere and just want to buy it at the same time I do the bag
@@m3rkaba86 yeah, seems like a big project, any reason you don't like the default buckle? I've never had a problem, though I find in general I dont need to use it too much.
Thanks for the review. If you don’t use your wallet much anymore I’d consider getting a more minimalist one that can fit maybe a few cards and maybe a backup banknote in case a card reader goes down. Also handy for storing spare plectrums ;)
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. Yes I have recently purchased a minimalist wallet, though unfortunately I've bulked it out a dash, but defo better than old school ones. Thanks for the recommendation, always have a plectrum available 😎
At a push, maybe, depending on the shape of the bottle, but it would take up nearly the whole space. smaller bottles work better such as 330ml. You can get a clip to hang a water bottle on the outside for bigger bottles.
I've not had any problems. It's not officially waterproof, so if it's a downpour, I believe the material might eventually get wet. But I've been out in light rain or short trips without issue.
Agree about the bit of the orange accents. Aesthetically, as a bit of design study, it is a nice color palate _BUT_ highlighter, neon, safety orange isn't a shade that would integrate well with my biz caz white/navy/grey wardrobe. If the zips were charcoal instead it would have been the ultimate grey man bag. Olive colorway is my pick. Why do so many of these grown, adult, men feel the need to carry a Nintendo Switch with them everywhere they go? This is like the _Squared Circle Jerk_ cuckhold meme come to life.
This is it with the orange, black is nice but looks very plain, grey does stand out but the orange is overkill. Agree a nice darker grey as an accent would have been perfect. I assume the Nintendo Switch side is more for teenagers or young adults that still have a priority on gaming. Maybe one day I will get back in to it but my last portable console was the PSP 😂
I got a lot of sling bags, and I got to tell you they could have done a way better job with that material dividers / whatever it is on there man come on Tom talk All that talent you just threw it out the window and you did that at least you could at least put a zipper on it at one main zipper compartment but to have this little skin that runs in between the the middle of the bag is useless😢
The middle compartment divider is disappointing having used it for a long time now. The bag size and durability is still really good, but organisation in the main compartment has to be treated as not there for most part
Mate, no sensible person would over stuff that bag with a water bottle. The bag was bulging at the seams and the bottle made the bag look like a fat bloated whale! But I got to say you’re right about the divider with the two pockets in the middle of the main pocket being ineffectual. This poor design feature is a deal breaker for me.
You had me laughing at fat bloated whale. I do sometimes just use the bag as a wallet and bottle holder, better than the bottle falling out of a coat pocket, but you are right, it's not ideal and is very bloated for this small bag. The divider is not effective, but overall the bag is still a small handy one to have. But will dedo be looking around at other options in future as well, the hunt for the perfect bag always continues.
What sling bag would you like to see a review of?
Hey mate, what size sling is this? I can't see that you've mentioned it

If I’m not mistaken, only the black version is cordura ballistic nylon. The other colors are a poly fabric. Just fyi.
I’m looking into getting a iPad mini 6 for the bag. Does the bag feel tight when placed together with a big power bank ?
Heya, Depends how big the bank is? The bag is small and when you put the ipad mini in, it doesn't allow for much bulk, a slim line one could work, and depends if you put anything else in.
The perfect review for me. thanks
Appreciate your feedback 🙏
Can only be worn on the left shoulder??? What do it look like if worn on the right shoulder bro??? Thanks

@@MarlonKingShow thanks for the answer. I just ordered it, it was delivered in 3 days. ^^
Can it fit a Steam Deck without the case?
Hi marlon is it okay to fit in a fuji XT10 + 35mm lens in the bag ?

Love your Opeth guitar!
Cheers man, it is great, had it in the studio a few weeks ago, though you do need finger extensions to play it, its a really big neck

Nice bag Marlon, logans 6 next week ? Cheers.
Thanks Stuart, he turns 5 next week. Will txt you details tomorrow if you are about on the Saturday.
Is this colour has PU coating? I see the black colour has PU coating that will tear after a years of use...
I cant confirm the PU coating. But I've had mine a few years so far and no signs of tearing, hope that helps.
Can an iPad mini 2021 with a case fit inside this bag?
Not sure on the size of the newer ones, my ipad mini 2014 fits in with case, but if you over load the bag then it won't close, as the ipad goes right up to the zip almost.
@@MarlonKingShow thank you for this info. All my doubts are cleared now. I'm gonna go with the crossbody sling bag.

Can I wear this over my rght shoulder? All is see is folks wearing over their left shoulder. I"m right handed
You can but not as well, in my mind works best wearing on left so when you swing it around to open, you can use your right arm to open it.
@@MarlonKingShow Okay thanks. Mine arrived yesterday
Can you put 550 water bottle in it?
At a push, maybe, depending on the shape of the bottle, but it would take up nearly the whole space. smaller bottles work better such as 330ml. You can get a clip to hang a water bottle on the outside for bigger bottles.
Is this waterproof? Like walking in the rain?
I've not had any problems. It's not officially waterproof, so if it's a downpour, I believe the material might eventually get wet. But I've been out in light rain or short trips without issue.
This one is 8 inch?
Its the called the compact edc sling, but yes I believe this is the 8 inch version
The shine on the straps looks terrible. Looks like a seatbelt
It is quite shiny and smooth. But in many ways that is also nice.
