Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L (Black)

Product Information

And the Midnight and Ash colorways are both made from bluesign® certified fabrics, something we always appreciate. Speaking of environmentalism, as of January 2020, Peak Design is a designated B Corp. We’ll let the folks at B Corps explain, “Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.” Yeah, we think it’s awesome too. Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L V2 Zippers Besides these dividers, there is a zipped compartment on the inside where you can easily store batteries, SD cards, or other small items. A sleeve, which closes easily using a little magnet, provides space for a tablet, a notebook, or something similarly shaped.

Today, we’re going to take a look at the Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L (V2). We’ve already reviewed the three liter size. Basically, the 6L version is the same as the 3L version only, you know, larger by three liters. Plus, the 6L version has a tablet sleeve.Most of the time I use just one with my Sony A7iii , or both if I am using the bag to transport my Mavic Pro . If I didn't switch it around often for a wrist strap or hadn't bought it first tho, I'd totally be using the Slim Strap. The materials used are very sturdy and have a premium feel, while the functional design is very smart, as is typical of Peak Design. I also have to say the aesthetics are a huge step up from other competing bags out there. LowePro or Manfrotto products just scream “camera bag!”, have logos on them, or unnecessary red or yellow accent lines. Peak Design keeps it a lot more minimal and classy. Strength Rating: 200lb (This is the rating for the Dyneema-corded Anchor Link anchors. The 45mm seat belt webbing could probably lift up your car.) The plate has small cutouts in each corner that allow attachment of an anchor. When connected to a strap eyelet and the plate, the camera hangs more naturally at your side when worn across your shoulder/chest as a sling. There are other products on the market that allow you to attach a strap to your camera's tripod mount, but virtually all of them must be removed if you wish to use a tripod. Integrating an Arca-Swiss compatible plate into its design means that users of the Slide can easily tripod mount their camera without making any changes to the strap setup.

The Sling also opens nice and wide to easily be able to access your gear. No fussing about in small spaces. This is what led me to the Peak Design Everyday Sling. I initially bought the 6-liter version as a gift for my partner, but soon got a 10-liter version for myself as well. This review is based on using both the 6L and 10L. Everyday Sling 10LSince travel blogging is my job, I carry my camera with me virtually everywhere I go during my trips. The materials inside the bag are soft to touch and it feels padded enough to not have to worry about your gear inside. It's better in several ways too, no metal, the leather pad is a better shoulder cushion, and the slider mechanism is more akin to the pricey Artisan & Artist straps than Peak's... It can be slid along most of the strap so there's only one, Peak's dual sliders are more cumbersome and unless you adjust both you throw the padding off center. While the individual components are the same, we’ve found the overall carry slightly less comfortable and less versatile on the 6L version than on the 3L version. Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L V2 Waist Carry

The Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L feels nicely balanced on my shoulder and its rigidity gives me a lot of confidence in opening it without spilling all of my gear on to the ground while walking. The hardware is made fromanodised aluminium and stainless steel, the zippers are smooth and don’t ever snag. The 6L is made from the same ultra-strong water-resistant 100% recycled 400D double poly-coated and DWR-impregnated nylon canvas. If you take away nothing else from that sentence, you should note that the sling is durable and weather-resistant. Don’t take it on a high-speed underwater motorcycle chase, but your camera gear should be safe if you get caught in the rain. With an 14" laptop sleeve, the 10L Sling sets up perfectly as a minimalist everyday work bag. As a photo bag, it'll give you substantially more capacity than the 6L, while still feeling compact and streamlined. The only sling with a strap for roller bag luggage carry. Example camera carry

Inside the Sling Bag

The various carry styles do mean that even if your shoulder gets a bit sore after many hours of wearing, you can change things up and maintain good comfort. Internal organization The Everyday Sling 3L is the edition I have not tested myself, though being the smallest it should be suitable only for a compact camera or perhaps a small mirrorless with one lens. Since every videographer and photographer has different needs, it makes sense that Peak Design—a company that’s all about making premium gear specifically for videographers and photographers—offers three sizes of the Everyday Sling (V2): 3L, 6L, and 10L. Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L V2 In Detroit Actually, Custom SLR came out with a design that's directly equivalent to Peak's just last month, it's called the Slim Strap... Peak Design supply you with two of their unique “FlexFold” dividers to position however you desire and create the arrangement you need.
