Thank you! This is the best video I finally found! I’ve been dying for a bag like this for years and was so excited when I found the brand but very few reviews really show how the bags differ in actual use. Your video made it totally clear and I know what I need now. I will also point out that the company recommends putting the strap of the backpack over your head when switching so it becomes cross-body for more stability. Overall the backpack is more cumbersome it seems but I’m not a fan of wearing the sling bag always over the same shoulder. Hopefully they’ll come up with that variation soon!
Very well thought out review. I have both the 10 sling and the 15 backpack, what I found with the 15 backpack is to take off the left shoulder strap loosen the right shoulder strap then lift it over my head and put it on my left shoulder to rotate the bag to my front, I found this is a lot easier to access my gear.
Thanks for the through review and it was great to see the differences in sizes. Really helped and pointed me in the direction of the 13 backpack for a setup of an a6400, 18-105, Sigma 30 and Sigma 56. Side access was key since I don’t like front access or having to take the bag off to get rear access. Also I’m only 5’7” so the 15 might’ve looked too big and the smaller mirrorless lenses might’ve floated around inside. Cheers!
What would be a better choice for a small to midsize kit....the backlight 18L or the photocross 15 backpack? Just looking for some opinions. I am 6'4" tall

Thank you so much for this detailed video!
I bought the photocross 13 Sling on sale for about $85.00 at a local camera shop. I'm using it for my Nikon Coolpix P1000 an accessories.

This is helpful.
Very happy you found it useful. Cheers
Have you tried to fit the Peak Camera Clip to the strap?
Seems that is a big no-no.
If correct what a poor design team...
I don't own that clip so no.
If you go for a hike you need food!
