Thanks for the review! I ended up getting the Wotancraft camera bag (6 or 7 liters). It’s slightly less structured than Wandrd, but not that much smaller. I love my bag, but there’s still a big upside with the Wandrd: the contoured padding that curves nicely around the body
Nice review :) I think the single zipper is for optimal water proofing/resistance. When there are two zippers and they meet it creates a little gap that water can easily get through :) I would guess that’s the reason
Great review of the bag! You answered all my major questions. Have you carried a camera, lens, and a mini drone in the bag? How well does the padding and waterproofing hold up?
I haven’t carried a drone but I have no doubts that it could while also carrying a camera and spare lens. The padding is great and the water resistance is pretty good as long as the zippers are tightly zipped.
@@ChichBolt I have the Venture Sling 6L which I bought partially as a everyday sling yet also a discrete camera bag. I'm able to fit a mirrorless Fuji with a prime and then another prime quite easily + used a padded divider from another bag so they're not hitting. The good part is, is that its easily the most "doesn't look like a camera bag" and is super slim when it needs to be. The bad part is, is that it lacks padding yet thankfully has a stiff construction so you don't feel the objects. The strap doesn't have any padding either which is why I chose the 6L over the 9L to avoid weight but they have a 10L camera venture sling option. I'm still looking for another small alternative though just so I know my camera gear is protected when it needs to be. The ThinkTank Retrospective 4/5 almost ticks the right boxes aside from velcro flaps.
I've been looking at this bag but my problem with so many slings is the strap not being long enough to be comfy.. especially if its winter and ive got layerrrrs on.
In the pictures showing you wearing the bag it looks like the thin portion of the strap is over your shoulder and the thick, padded, portion is across your chest. Does the wide part of the strap ever go over the shoulder and be more comfortable?
Incredibly detailed and helpful! I’m looking for a sling to carry my Fuji + extra lens for short hikes and trips. I think I’ll pass on this because of the one way zippers. Looking forward to your next bag review!
It’s a great bag! But the few things it’s not so great at other bags are out there that do it better. I always want to mention things the product isn’t great at.

Fantastic review. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your thoughts, this has been very helpful
Of course man! Thank you

That makes sense to me yeah

The chunkiness is ultimately why I sold mine. I felt like there wasn't enough space inside for how big it is, but i haven't found an alternative lol.
It is chunky but it’s still a good product, I have my eye out for something that can slim down
@@ChichBolt I'm considering the Bellroy Venture Sling 9L but it's a bit pricey
@@andyc7777 oh man that’s a nice bag. Now I’m interested haha

This strap is pretty long. I don’t know if I’ll make a video about it but it’s long.
Thanks for the review. I'm planning to get also one, but in Orange!
Seide question: What Screensaver is running in the background?
I run a video of from NYC footage and have it play when the computer is inactive.
@@ChichBolt Really cool footage
I agree haha

Yes. I prefer to wear it on my chest or my back so it moves a lot but you can adjust it to be anywhere along the strap.
Other YTer review that there are several stitches that are starting to break at the edge of the rear padding, what about yours?
Mine is holding up great! That other TH-camr should reach out to WANDRD because they have pretty great customer service

Thank you! 🙏
Do you think this will fit a Sony a7iv with a 24-70gmf2.8 lens attached to it and a 70-200gf4? Thank you!
Just copped
Will it flatten when it’s empty to fit in a backpack?
Great question. No it won’t. It’s pretty stiff in its shape. Especially if bought new.
How many snacks can I fit in the bag?
About as much as you can hold IMO
Can I fit two apsc camera bodies in there and 3 prime lenses?
Great question. Probably not depending on the size. It might be better to do the next size up.
@@ChichBolt thanks!
For that much you need 9L
I have one and I have an a6400 and a6000….they DO NOT fit together
The Cons are laughable.

The cons are all valid. Thank you!

It'll have to be laid flat on its side than top down
