GREAT REVIEW SOLD ME, TY and SUBBED!!

It is very hard to judge with any bag or sling how it will feel when you pack just the minimum or over load it with gear. The Roam Sling has an interesting approach. The laptop compartment can attach a tech bag and used with a shoulder strap means you can grab just what you need and they join them up. I think a 9 litre size with heavy camera gear, battery charge, phone, water bottle and tripod and a 11-13 inch laptop (or tablet, convertible + keyboard) needs two backpack straps and a good waist belt support. The laptop pouch also has a stand for a hinged laptop - not useful for convertible tablets with detachable keyboards that do not lock hinge open and have their own support arms.

Funded the 9 litre sling as soon as it started. Can't wait to get it to carry my minimal setup instead of using the prvke all the time

Finally got mine!! Took a LOOOONNNGG time

I have been thinking of getting the 6L to carry a pair of Leica rangefinders with glass and one extra lens... Nice video...

I’ve backed the 6L for when I want to take a minimal kit. The laptop pocket doesn’t do it for me - if I need a laptop I’ll take one of my larger bags - but I can see a use for the tripod tube, which looks good to fit the PD tripod

Great video!

The 9l actually fits a ton of stuff, I have a setup of a sony a7iv with 85mm 1.8 attached then a a7iii with battery grip and 24mm 1.4 attached, plus the small sony 55mm 1.8 additonally i carry 3 batteries, 2 nd filters, my phone, keys and lens caps inside. and i just love how it feels on the back, really snug and secure. over all my favorite bag from wandrd (and i have a lot of them prvke, duo, fernweh and the inflatable one) it is totally thought threw, every little detail is just awesome

All I want to carry is my: A6500 with a 16mm lens, my switch, power bank, tab s6 and a5 notebook🤔. A fanny pack that can use as a sling is key! As a commuter as well as a cyclist.

Well I’m impressed with the 9 liter but it looks like it won’t be available until December. I’m going to Rome in October so I will have to look for something else

I still have yet to receive mine. I want it already.

Dear CJ, great video. I am looking to purchase this bag, but is debating whether to get the 9L or the 6L. I have a Fuji X-T4/16-80 kit lens and usually carries an extra prime lens (currently favoring the 30mm F2.8 or the 56mm F1.2). I am looking for a "urban street photography" type of bag where I can also have compartments that can fit my mobile phone, wallet, and occasionally a filter lens. I am not quite sure if the 9L is a bit "too big" for such purpose. For my day out shooting landscape, I have a bigger Shimoda for such purpose. Essentially, I am looking for a lighter/versatile bag. Any tips or advise will be highly appreciated. Cheers.

The 9L can comfortably fit what you’re planning AND remains compact enough to be light and versatile. That’s what I’d go for 👍

Looks very cool, years later I'm considering it. FYI, the UK definitely don't call it a fannypack 😂

Good review. But when I heard you said "fanny pack if you are from the UK" at 7:52 I couldn't help but correct you because British people don't say fanny pack LOL. Fanny means the same thing in the UK as it does in Australia. It's an American term!

Hahaha my bad, good to know!

Nice video CJ even if that case isn't for me. Anything else aside, I can't figure out why Wandrd didn't make the interior a contrasting / light color to make it easier to find things inside. Unless there are patent issue with that, it's just a really odd / uninformed design choice that I wish they could show they are getting better with. But, good video and I hope they are successful.

Just bought it . Nikon d750 with attached battery grip and 24 - 120 mm lens, plus 50mm extra Lens fits fine!

I was wondering if my canon 5d mark IV with the grip with a 24-105mm would fit, so I think you answered my question, thanks!

I would use it as under the seat carry on personal item.

Hello. Thanks for the review. Can a 10-inch samsung tab s7 fit completely inside the back pocket (zipper closed without expanding)? I saw in your video but I'm not sure how big the tablet was. Thanks!

@CJYing

A 10.5 inch iPad fit into the back pocket without issue :) so I would think the Samsung tab s7 should do so as well!

Would a Canon 5d Mark IV with a relatively large sigma lens attached and then an extra lens ( a 50mm, 1.4 and 85mm, 1.4) - would that all fit in the 6L Roam Sling or would you recommend the 9L?

@CJYing

I wouldn't count on 6L being able to comfortably fit that... Even with the 9L, an APS-C mirrorless setup was in the tighter side!

Hi CJ! I wanted to ask, how do you think it'll carry if you have your prvke on the back then the 9L sling on your chest? Does the sling feel to big as a front carry?

@CJYing

I’d feel like it’s a lot to carry but the 9L sling is still comfortable on the front!

Oh and one last question, for the water bottle section, you think it can fit a Nalgene 1L bottle?

Is it possible to fit in a full frame with battery grip? My biggest gripe with the Wandrd Duo was that I could not fit a D850 with grip in the quick access compartment. Thanks.

With a battery grip, I doubt it. It was a snug fit to get my fujifilm xt3 with an L-plate on. Let alone a full-frame DSLR with battery grip

@@CJYing Thanks for the response. I discovered the campaign very late into its final days and backed the 9L. When I queried on the fitting of a D850 with a grip I was told to review the exterior measurements of the bag. Against my own measurements of the D850 setup, they checked out. it was not until I saw the youtube reviews did I realize those provided dimensions did not accurately reflect the interior storage. Hopefully, I'll manage fit it in and if not, hope that Wandrd will honour a refund request.

How does the shoulder strap feel carrying this weight for a full day? It's a similar setup I plan, but feels the strap isn't very padded. Thank you.

@CJYing

Strap isn’t quite as well padded as say a backpack but it doesn’t have to be since it doesn’t carry quite as much weight. Plus there’s an additional strap that redistributes the weight across the whole torso

Did you get to try the 3L and 6L? How comfortable was the strap on this thing? I have a peak design sling and it feels awful after a while. I've used the PRVKE for a few years and while I love it, it's a really heavy bag. Just wondering if this is at least more manageable the the PD sling

@CJYing

I haven’t tried the smaller slings but the strap feels good so long as you’ve set it properly. As I mentioned in the video, if you haven’t set it up properly, there’s a clip that can dig into your chest which can be uncomfortable. If you liked the straps on the prvke, you’ll probably like these ones too

Are you able to wear it as a lumbar or fanny pack like they show on the website? I'm looking for a way to transport my 14" laptop on my hips instead of shoulders.

Probably difficult with the laptop sleeve connected but on its own it works fine lower down.

Found them to be too boxy for my liking

Noticed how the creator only likes comments that like the bag… 🤔

Fanny pack is a US thing not a UK one.

Does anybody actually think that this bag is comfortable? Just got one delivered and it just feels akward to wear.

I notice that the laptop case in using the ergonomic mode, that it bends a bit... I was wondering about the durability and long-term use of it cause I don't want to invest in the case if it will overtime bend upon continuous usage considering your hands will rest a lot on the laptop. Could you share your experience with it? Do you think its worth it? Im considering the 6L atm... Also silly question, does the MacBook 13" fit inside the 9L if there's nothing in it? (I checked the dimensions but I was just curious in case I don't want to fit it on the outside original slots)?

It only bends when it’s empty! With a laptop inside, it’s rigid and safe. Some of these shots were done without the laptop inside so it balanced better for shots 😅
