I love putting POV videos in the background while I do busy work in my office so there's definitely an audience for it! I carry an action cam in my bag at all times. mostly for family memories lately but always great to have.

i know its goofy but its important to see how it looks on a person fully packed

Absolutely! And I know it's goofy, but I need to hear a real person say "this things *feels* durable, well made"

I took the 6L on a trip to Brazil. I had my M11, 35 APO, 21 Super Elmar and 90 APO. Plenty of room for my phone, extra battery and lens cleaners. In the rain and dust, it did a great job protecting the camera.

How are you finding the m11 + 35 APO combo?

@@_beesh I waited nearly 2 years for it. A friend of mine sold his to me a week before my trip to Brazil. Of the 600 photos I took, 550 of them were on that lens. The other 50 were on the 21 and the 90. I also own the 35 Summilux . Nothing compares to the 35 APO. It’s the best lens I ever used. It truly feels like magic. The Summilux definitely has a beautiful look to it. But in all conditions the 35 APO was amazing.

@@_beesh The combo is great. With the M11’s ability to handle low light with good DR at high ISOs, and the 35 APO’s lens design, there weren’t any situations where it didn’t perform breathtakingly well. On the SL2, it’s also amazing in any light. Worse case, you can always resell it at a high price if you don’t like it, but few people let it go.

Do you use the dividers and no lens cases?

Really appreciate that overhead shot towards the end of you repacking everything! I’m debating between the 3L and 6L, but hoping one isn’t too small or too big. That slow inhale after “also stores diapers… that’s useful for me” got me 😂

Yes to the GoPro videos! I love that perspective and I also want to start doing it myself. So seeing how you do it will definitely inspire me

I like your smile at the beginning when you talk about just one more camera bag, I couldn't stop myself from smiling too, as I also have a pile of bags at my place.

I´ve been using this sling 6L in blue for a few years and I believe is PERFECT. I use for camera gear, daily use, small trips, everything.

Great video. I use my 6L sling the same way. I don't really use the dividers. Great bag! "Who would want to watch that, I feel that way about every video.." Real - I am just getting started and super happy folks are tuning in 🙂

I love this bag. It is my go to bag for travel. Greece, Spain, and Japan, this bag does it all. I daily a Canon Model 7, DJI Mini Pro 3 drone, and a batter Anker Battery backup.. Oh and my iPad. The bag is not 100% weather proof because it does not repel water, but the material is thick and high quality and it kept all my gear dry. found that out in Japan during the summer. I recommend this bag to anyone that wants a light run and gun travel bag. Thaks for the review and glad you had a similar experience.

I have the 3L, 6L and 10L slings. Love them! One of the best features is they are guaranteed for life. I called them about a 10 year old bag that failed. (Oh and was my fault )They sent me a new bag in about three days and I just shipped the old bag back to them in the same box

@@karasvadim probably the 6L. Make sure you get the version two it's much better than mine.

I have the old 5 L bag and love it. It fits my Lumix G85 with my 14-140 zoom attached, a 100-300 zoom for birding, and a water bottle or my 25 mm and 42.5 mm primes, plus a set of filters and an extra battery and SD card. When I am at home I use it for photo walks in the park and other times I want my full arsenal with me. When on vacation, I pack the sling with the above camera gear in it in the bottom of my backpack with a laptop, iPad, power bank, chargers and cords and all of my other electronics that I might need in the hotel. Then when we leave the hotel to explore, I just grab the sling with the appropriate gear for the day. Love the way I can pull the straps shorter to keep the sling tight to my back and release them to access the contents in front of me.

I've been thinking about picking up a sling-style bag recently. This came at the right time and seems like it fits my needs. Thank you!

Matt, I always enjoy a "bag dump" or a "pocket dump" -- really, just the "what am I carrying" sort of thing. I especially appreciate hearing the "why" about what is in the daily carry. Peak Design makes good stuff. But, I just sold my original Messenger (V1) that I did not use. It was just too big and too stiff for me. I recently discovered Nutsac bags and have a couple of them that I really like for daily carry. The larger bag, a 15" messenger, carries my MacBook Pro and support. It is a waxed canvas bag in the tactical line. I then bought the 13" and I carry my Surface Go 2 in it, along with support. For my camera kit, I love Domke waxed canvas bags. The vintage feel is great, they are not stiff so they conform to my body, and they are sufficiently water resistant for my location. I have a couple of their F2 bags that are about right for my X-T5 kit. I can carry a handful of lenses (I'm mostly a prime shooter), batteries, etc. I laughed about the Rhodia pad. I think that is Clairfontaine paper and it's excellent for fountain pens. I prefer to use fountain pens for writing and keep a TWSBI Mini in my cargo pocket along with a pad all the time. I use a waterproof ink. I also keep a Fisher Space Pen and a Rite-in-the-Rain pad handy as well. I'm going to watch this again and take a few notes. The powerbank is a good idea. The fidget-toy is also not a bad idea. Well done. Thanks!

Yeeeeah, "I need the POV videos" is a sentence I never thought I'd write but, yeah, I need the POV videos. Bonus points if there's the internal dialogue and thought process etc etc.

I was a backer of their original capture clip but haven’t owned anything from them since then. I know Peak Design has excellent design and build but the purpose of a camera bag was to well, not look like a camera bag. Over the years Peak Design bags became that obvious photographer bag so I’ve been putting my cameras in a padded wrap and toss it in my tote bag. But I went on a trip this past may and decided to get the 3L sling because i didn’t like how the tote bag swings around and slides off my shoulders. I gotta say the 3L sling converted me over, you can’t beat it for its functionality. I was able to fit my M10-P with a 35 Lux FLE, M2 with 40mm Cron, Ricoh GR2, an extra roll of film, 2 ND filters, batteries for all 3 cameras, 10,000 mah battery pack and of course my passport as well as a Hero clip, and Chapstick. If i don’t take the M2 or GR. I would be able to fit my sunglasses hard case. The cool thing is I was able to clip my Osomo Action 1 cam to the slot reserved for the capture clip. The ease of adjusting the strap is great which makes it easy to take off and on, also extending it to sit by your side when you’re on the train but tight on your back when you’re out and about. I think the 6L would be nice if you want to carry a tablet but the 3L is perfect if you just want to focus on shooting for the whole day but also able to carry a bunch of other essentials with you. If you’re on the fence about the sling… just get it!

+1 on Rhodia paper. Great with a fountain pen. Also, the 6L Sling is a deceptively roomy bag. It will actually hold a Fuji GW690! Side note: PD makes THE very best packing cubes. They can compress so much clothing down into a manageable space. Highly recommend.

I have the 3L version of the Everyday Sling. I love it. I can fit my Fuji X-T2 with a lens mounted, and an extra lens. On sunny days, I manage to squeeze in a small bottle of sunscreen (because I catch fire every time the sun is out), or I can squeeze in a small Godox flash unit with batteries. Looked at the 6L first, but I went for the 3L and have never regretted it. When I need more gear with me or I need to travel lightly for a few days, I have the 20L Everyday Backpack. #PeakDesignFanBoy

I have the 6L in black too. Love it. Also love their carbon fiber travel tripod.

I use the same Peak Design 6 liter bag. I usually carry one camera (Leica M Type 262) and two lenses (plus the lens on the camera for a total of three). I do use the folding dividers to keep my lenses from banging each other. I also use a Billingham bag but tend to favor the Peak Design bag because it sits closer to my body and feels slimmer, but not really sure that it is. I also have the Peak Design 3 liter bag for my Olympus Pen F and three lenses. Not that it matters but my color of choice for both bags is ash gray. The little 3 liter bag is a wonderful minimalist bag. It looks more like a fanny pack with a shoulder sling.

Nice video Matt. I am waiting for my 6L to arrive can’t wait to pack it out. Check out the Peak Design wrist cuff/strap if you dont already have it - makes a huge difference holding the camera while walking around without the worry of dropping it.

Show us the pov man! I love that! It's all about the process!

I use the peak design 3l sling all the time and it's perfect. I like that it's too small to bring a lot of stuff. It forces me to commit to something.

RuggedWear F2 works pretty well, and you can even hook on a strap with swivels, if you prefer. I took out the bottom board so there's more space inside and it deforms around the body better.

Appreciate this in depth review on this bag 😮

Love the 6L sling. Do you also use it for travel? Or do you take the backpack since it has a laptop compartment?

great vid.. I own this same bag and many other PD bags LOL and many other PD products. huge fan of that company! I wouldn't mind seeing more vids on the Peak Design products

I've got the 6L for EDC stuff and the 4L for my film camera. Excellent bags.

The 6L serves me very well together with a capture clip. Now I want to pick up the 10L when I need a bit more space.

i love peak design I use 3l for everyday and the 10L when i need more space :)

I absolutely HATED my everyday sling. I had the 10L and used it to carry camera gear and my work setup for travel and the rigidity of the bag itself just pissed me off how difficult it was to get items out of it. It truly requires 2 hands to get into it and get items out of it, even the front zipper pocket was difficult to access. I disliked it so much I gave it away when I sold a camera body. I now have the Moment 10L bag and to me it's a night/day difference in convenience and ease of use.

I use it a lot (6L), for pro, vacation and everyday bag. I have an om-1 et 5 lenses insides + filters, step filters, batteries,... My best ever after 15 years. My second best is the peak design 5L still have it ✌️

Matt. Speaking of straps, do you use one on the M11 monochrom? If so, what type?

GoPro footy? Yes please! It would be entertaining and inspiring to see

Hell yes to the GoPro POV. 10/10

👍 Thank you for the review. 😉 You got me on the "chill pill."

I have been using the 5L bag (no longer made). The 6L intrigues me because of the lide web pockedts. I'll have to check it out.

I love the gopro on top of camera stuff. I would watch hours worth of content if you made it!

Hi Matt, I'm a bag geek and love all of your videos as well. I think the GoPro footage would be interesting if it shows your composition process as you try different viewpoints and framing. Andy

Thanks Matt was looking for a new bag to replace my Lowepro Photoactive backpack that’s falling apart after 12 years and my Billingham which is tough as hell but a bit cumbersome. This may fit the bill. GoPro POV? Why not try it if it’s not too much extra? Might be interesting but I’m aware this could be a lot of extra work so go with your gut. Thanks again, Ben

Would love to see some of that POV footage!

Enjoyed this. I have this bag however, after watching this,think I organize mine took much!

Nice review. Does the 6L version can fit two cameras? I plan to carry a Sony A6600 with an 18-135mm lens and an FX30 with 11mm. Thanks for your recommendation.

Kind of surprised (and encouraged ) that you just toss the M11 and M6 in there without any dividers or padding! Have you ever had problems with the rangefinders going out? I just took my M6 on a long flight to Taiwan and Japan and had it in a padded bag insert inside an old Arcteryx backpack because I’ve heard the vibrations on long flights can knock them out of whack.

idk what it is about bags but man i love my PD bags, i only recently picked up a new bag from Clever supply just to have something in black with a less tech design language, bags just make me happy ^_^

Nice vid. Love peak design gear!

I have been thinking about getting this very bag to carry my M3 and film. Also Matt I think all of us are in touch with our inner girl and at the end of day if we find something even more cute and stylish we are going to buy it. 😂😂😂. Also though have looked a brand called Bellroy…. Not sure how good they are, not specifically a camera bag but def looks like it could work.

where did you purchase the chill pill?

Just a boy watching a video about a bag I don’t need - that I will probably buy. Great vid!

Yes to the GoPro footage!

I have the older 5L sling. It carries my Q2 and Q2M back to back with one divider in the middle. For me, I say no to POV.

I have used the 3L for 2 years now, for me its the perfect size for a shoot and daily carry (I primarily shoot with mirrorless cameras, so I'm carrying a much lighter load than If I was shooting analog). I really beat the bag up I pay more up front for something rugged and durable because I know I'm not delicate lol. It's a great bag and my only gripe with it nowadays Is that they've grown in popularity to the point where Im running into people with the same bag which may raise attention to thieves. IMO the worst part about the bag is that it's difficult to carry a water bottle with but in that case you're better off just using a bigger bag anyway.

@Alex-ez1lk

The lack of water bottle space is the biggest issue with 99% of sling bags. If you're taking photos all day in summer temp, and you don't need more than just your camera and an extra lens, battery etc, how are you supposed to carry water? You can compromise and dangle a water bottle off of a loop, but that ruins the ergonomics and at that point you might as well just take your regular backpack. It's crazy to me that in 2024, these companies still have not factored in water needs. And btw, I do have the 3L and will be selling it.

I literally seek out photowalks to watch when I can't do it myself. I think they're inspirational.

POV! C'mon! Love peak design, got the 6l sling same as you but also the Wotancraft Pilot 10L and I'd argue it's better, for sure more comfortable to use.

Last week at old glory on main street in uptown Vancouver I saw one of those Polaroid pro cams ( I think) or maybe it was a pack cam ? Not sure if it works because I have no idea how to test it. Thought you might want to check it out

@12:25 the close up hit home for me LOL (I've got two at 1 and 3 haha)

I just subscribed- nice job I will watch your past videos soon. I do wish you showed how you wear the bag I have found Slings annoying to slip on. Thanks

I blame my obsession with camera bags on great content creators like you. I never cared what kind of bag I used prior to watching youtube videos at the beginning of the pandemic.

Hi I have the Nikon Coolpix p950, should i buy the 3L or the 6L?

I put tickets or receipt sometimes cards/keys between those unfolded flexfold XD

I would love to see GoPro footage. I really think it would be fun to see.

So does an 11 inch tablet fit in the 6L sling?

I know the Peak Design anchors are popular, but for some reason it triggers my OCD when they are just danglin there, clacking around. hahah...I have an old German braided leather strap my dad gave me when I was 14 that has this beautifully simple "button hook" design that you press a small recessed button on the side and it slides up to reveal the metal "button hook". I wish I could find more like that...SUPER simple design with no DANGLES! :P

Is this about what I need to store in a filmbag?😮

The material is in fact very strong. But on the other hand - it is like a sand paper against clothing. It destroyed/pilled so many of my T-shirts I don't really use it anymore.

I’d love a Wotancraft Pilot bag but I wish they made it in a 5L version. 7L seems slightly too big & the 3.5L is just barely too small.

Have you looked at the Billingham bags? darn nice but pricey

I think a single video running down all of your Peak Design items, would be great. Also, me. I want to see that footage. I like those types of GoPro bts shooting videos.

Just bought a 20L. tote backpack for my camera stuff and consider a 3l. Sling for EDC… crazy, no?

Bring on the go pro footage!

I found a 10l for $70 bucks in a bear buy and I couldn’t pass it up. I could have used the 6l honestly the 10 is surprisingly roomy and can fit way more than you think. Their straps are great as well, it’s not for everyone but they are worth a look for those looking for a bag

Would love to see GoPro footage

Would watch it 👌😁

Been looking for a smaller bag but this is £50 less than a Billingham Digital who i know make great quality bags. Maybe you should have a look. Oh and like the idea of POV.

I use PD straps and they aren quality. Always wanted a bag but had so many didn't pull the trigger.

If matt shoots less film since M11, i think i should too

i do like to use peakdesign things but i dont like how they look )

Go for Go Pro! :)

The downside of Peak Design is their pricing, there extremely proud of their products… For my style of photography utilizing old school Nikon DSLR and lenses I prefer storing transporting in a couple of Nanuk 935 hard cases. No, I don’t haul those cases with me, they stay in the vehicle. If I do feel the need to have an extra lens etc with me I use my Think Tank shoulder bag.

Sadly yes, yes I would watch the POV footage of you shooting. Guess those videos would be easy to put out as well as minimum editing is needed. Just put one out as see how it goes. Maybe it won’t do well but worth a try I say.

I was about to look up that Leica USB-C to lightning cable but then I realized that the new iPhones are getting USB-C & it’s going to be unnecessary.

POV. Yes!

Funny guy - in a good way. 🙂

Id watch a gopro photowalk

PeakDesign stuff seems useful and cleverly designed but I reaaaaally dont like their designs and design language. And yeah, a POV of non street photography sounds like something I'd watch

more gopro. I feel like that's its own type of video.

I'm not a big fan of POV go pro photography, unless it's on a cat or a kid or a dog or something like that. 🙂

Forget actual gear, The camera bag is my true point of contention! 😩

Well useful for my son really :D cracked me up

I got myself the blue version for my last birthday and it was by far the most I've spent on any photographic gear aside cameras themselves. I've actually went to the shop simply to try it out but it was just too perfect for me to leave there. I'm able to fit my SLR, TLR and tiny polaroid go in there, took it for everyday biking, walking in pouring rain, mountain hiking during winter. I find it unbelievably though out and worth every penny

Is this about what I need to store in a filmbag?😮

Im not even a gear snob. Im not a bag or camera person. But i LOVE Peak Design and Timbuk2 stuff. The tech pouch is my backpack within a backpack with how much you can out in there. The 3L sling is the best concealed carry bag ive ever had. Waiting for a sale for the PD everyday pack.
