[Empty] First of all, I'm a lefty and was looking looking for a run and gun setup.
I already have a messenger style bag for my main bag but it's not very handy to carry around all day outdoors. I was looking for a sling pack so I would be able to access the bag without taking it off but being left-handed, most sling packs wouldn't work very well for me, usually the strap is oriented for righties. This bag however was intriguing since it can be slung both ways. I dithered between ordering the 10 and the 8 liter version and finally settled on going with the bigger bag just in case my kit grows. When it arrived I was surprised to find it was large enough to hold almost my entire kit, (Nikon Z5, 24-200 zoom, 85mm prime, speedlight and filter wallet) less the tripod with room to spare for more lenses. The tripod CAN be packed in the back pocket, but one of the legs would need to be hanging out the back, not something I was interested in doing. Not a big deal anyways, since when I'm outside I'm usually not packing the tripod. The side pockets are mirror images of each other, while not exactly large you can fit a water bottle in either of them. The only pocket without zippers on both sides is the tablet pocket, right-hand access only. I can't speak to the durability since I only got it a few weeks ago but fit and finish look good.


All in all it is a very handy pack to use, not cumbersome at all and easily accessed while on the go. Think Tank knocked it out of the park with this one.

[Yes] I wanted a good quality and comfortable sling bag that I could use to carry my mirrorless camera plus 70-200mm f/2.8 lens attached. The Urban Access 8 is perfect for this (see photo). The sling might be too tight for a DSLR but my mirrorless fits snugly without being tight. It can easily fit a MH-25a charger and a 3-filter pouch in the front pocket, plus a spare battery and card holder in the side pockets. I would highly recommend this bag for a mirrorless camera plus lens(es).

[Empty] Researched extensively for a small sling to fit my A7R IV. I had bought the Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L and this was the only other option that fit my needs...relatively small and doesn't look like a traditional camera case. It is slightly larger the the Peak Designs though due to the internal seams on the side opening you do have to stretch the opening a small amount (minimal effort) to get the camera in...after that it fits perfectly. You can wear it on either shoulder and it is easy to swivel from back to chest.



Build and materials are very nice and it feels good on the back. In my photos I've got the A7R IV and the Sony 70-200 f4 in the bag and you can see there are a few inches left to spare for a prime. Also, have a photo comparing it to the PD 5L. Keeping this and will probably return the PD 5L.

[Empty] I bought this for a trip to Italy later this year. It is a bit of a tight squeeze, but I can get my Olympus EM1 MII, the 7-14, the 40-150, and the 12-100 lenses all in the bag. There is additional room inside and front pockets. I will use the pocket on the back that can be used for a tablet as a secure pocket for my phone and billfold! I love that you can change the strap to be used from one shoulder to another and the rain cover is easily accessible! The bag is very well made and light weight.

[Yes] This is the best sling I've ever used. You can use it on either shoulder, which is a big plus for me because I always like having the bag on my left side. With most slings, you don't have a choice. Another really big plus is the waist belt. The waist belt makes a huge difference when you are carrying heavy equipment and hiking. It puts almost all of the weight on your hips instead of your shoulder. I use it with my Sony A7C with 70-300 mm lens attached. It also fits my 24-70 lens and a few accessories. For a water bottle, I use a flat flask, such as the
Stanley Classic Flask 8oz with Never-Lose Cap, Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Hip Flask for Easy Filling & Pouring, Insulated BPA-Free Leak-Proof Flask

[Empty] Was looking for a compact sling bag for shooting small gigs that would fit an a7III with an attached Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 plus another small wide lens (Tamron 17-28 f2.8) and have to say this bag was pretty much perfect! With plenty of room for spare batteries, cards, and even room for a small flash or 2 in the front pouch. It also seems to be very well made, though only time will tell if it's as durable as it appears...

[Empty] The design is ideal for the sketch artist. The laptop compartment holds a 14.5 x 11 x 1/2 inch pad snuggly. The grid holds every pencil, eraser, sharpener, etc. within easy sight and reach. The shoulder pad is very comfortable. The workmanship and materials look good on first day, I am curious to see how it holds up.

[Zipper] This bag is nicely constructed with zippers on both sides to be able to access double stacked equipment in the bag. It is not a large, roomy bag, however, I am able to load a Canon R6, 24-105 RF L F/4 lens, EF 70-200 2.8L, the EF to RF converter and a 580EX II flash and the R6 battery charger.


The ability to switch shoulders is a nice feature

[Empty] Completely ambidextrous: sling strap adjusts to either side, and zippers open on either side. Rather small; check dimensions carefully. Typical sturdy Think Tank build and nice looking fabric. Carries my big, heavy Canon binoculars and my A7R2 and a water flask.

[Black] Nice construction, useful pockets, very comfortable to wear.
