BellroyVenture Camera Sling 10L (photography bag) - Midnight

The size, design, materials, construction, and feel of carry are pretty much perfect. Can easily fit Fuji XE3 body with prime lens attached, plus two other primes or small zooms. Only bad points are the "tripod straps" which are too small and flimsy, and are attached awkwardly. Maybe you'll clip on a rolled up jacket, but not a tripod. The internal zip pocket needs some padding, as do the two end pockets. The battery pouches don't really hold my batteries in place, so I just let them be loose in the interior zip pouch. Wish both dividers has the built-in hinge, but in practice, they both fold down ok. No real way to carry a water bottle or small tablet, which is a bit of a bummer. For going out shooting with my XE3, this bag is pretty close to perfect, but it's missing just a few key features that keep it from being interchangeable as an everyday bag too. I think with one more design iteration, this bag could be absolutely perfect for casual everyday photography.

The perfect sling. If you are on the move, it is the perfect companion. You can put in whatever you need. And it always look good. Maybe the strap could be adjustable (length wise)

During a weak moment, I bought the Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L. My first impression was this bag is small—cargo space appears closer to 6L. Perhaps the missing 4L is in the stretchy sides? Even with my camera inside the Bellroy, I can easily fit this bag inside a Peak Everyday Sling 10L!My Canon EOS R6 MK II and RF 24-105 4L IS USM with mounted hood fit perfectly between the two dividers when laid sideways, filling about 75% of the space. The bag is not deep enough to stow a camera lens down, plus the non-removable dividers are too soft and flexible to support a camera grip. Oddly, the interior isn't Velcro friendly: you can't easily modify or add dividers. With camera and mounted zoom inside, there’s room for another small lens and flash in the stretchy but less padded ends of the compartment. As a point of comparison, I can stuff my Peak Everyday Sling 10L with a couple more lenses, flash and a 13” MacBook Pro! Plus, Peak dividers are rigid enough to stack lenses or support a camera stowed lens down. When loaded with gear, the Bellroy stands upright, albeit not as stable as a lens bucket design.With the above said, I’m keeping it: Bellroy understands how to make a comfortable sling bag, whipping my Peak and Billingham bags silly. It’s soft, comfy and sleek, hugging and conforming to the contours of my body as I cut through crowds. The minimal padding contributes to the sleek feel. The strap pad, albeit relatively thin, hugs the shoulder contour and is the most comfortable design I have used. The adjustable strap attaches to a yoke with a slider, keeping strap angle such that the bag remains against my body—won't easily tip forward and spill contents when left unzipped. Unfortunately, the buckle is slip prone and requires adjusting after a day of use. A couple well placed stitches would solve slippage, but then you wouldn't be able to adjust strap length. In fairness, my Peak Everyday Sling 10L strap also slips, so making an easy to adjust buckle that doesn't slip is apparently tough for modern designers.The weather sealed zipper allows the bag to open extremely wide, making it easy to pull out the camera. The front pocket is tight and flat, so good for only small flat objects like a credit card or small cellphone. Gussets on the pocket would be nice for some expansion but I suppose it reduce the sleek appearance. Indeed, this bag is a looker: the dark blue fabric (night sky) and smooth lines impart an urban vibe and doesn’t look like a camera bag.In summery, the Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L is not perfect but is well made, comfortable and good-looking. Ideal for travel and wandering around with a small DSLR or mirrorless with medium sized zoom and a few small accessories. If you need to carry a full kit, this ain't it. Instead, spring for the Peak Everyday Sling 10L. Heck, even the Peak Everyday Sling 6L holds more gear than the Bellroy.

Really wanted to like this sling bc it really does hug to your body and it designed very well. However, I just couldn’t get over the fact that this bag is advertised as a 10L bag, but fits less and is physically smaller than the Peak Design 10L (it feels as if it’s the same volume internally as the Peter McKinnon x Nomatic 8L sling).The dividers are a bit flimsy and can’t be removed, but do provide ample amounts of space between them. There’s no space for a tablet, which is another disappointment sadly (going back to the fact that this bag is advertised as a 10L, the PD can fit my iPad Pro or my MacBook Pro 14”).For anyone who is looking for a sling to daily carry or travel with a light kit, this could be a great option. Like mentioned above (and numerous time by others), the bag hugs your body very well and is very comfortable to carry around. It’s got a decent amount of space inside for a FF camera (best with lens detached if it’s a bigger lens) and can definitely fit an APS-C camera no problem.Sadly had to return this because of the sling not being quite as spacious as the PD 10L (either this sling is true 10L and the PD is just big, or this sling isn’t actually 10L in the main compartment).

I have looked long and hard for the right bag to hold my Fujifilm XS20 camera with lens attached along with two additional small lenses. The Bellroy 10L camera sling has more than enough room for that equipment along with extra camera, accessories, my wallet, phone and a few other personal items without feeling bulky or awkward to carry. The bag is made with a very nice material and has quality features, good padding, stitching, and taped zippers. It’s not advertised as a waterproof, but the rain rolls off of it and it seems to be quite water resistant. The feature I like most is that the fabric dividers are actually SEWN into the bag - not secured with Velcro. They are still very adjustable– easily moving back-and-forth to accommodate different lens/camera combinations without having to pull out and move dividers every time you change lenses. Why has it taken so long for a bag manufacturer to think of this!? The sling style is ergonomic and very comfortable. I am a 5’9” female and find the bag to be a great fit for me. Not too large or heavy, but also roomy enough to hold everything I want to take with me when I’m out for the day or when traveling . The zippers open wide for easy access and the pockets and features are well thought out. I’ve purchased (and sold) many Camera bags over the years and I’m thrilled to have finally found one that I want to keep! Very happy with this purchase.

Me gustó demasiado, muy práctico y perfecto para llevarlo de viaje, muy buena calidad, ya compré otro

As the title says, it's a very premium feeling bag. However, it falls short in most other areas. The Peak Design and WANDRD options might not look as good, but you'll likely regret not going in that direction when you're trying to get your camera out of your bag and the zippers wont get out of the way.

Always looking for minimal camera bags and this one may be the crème of the crop.When I’m out and about I can take my slr, two lens and maybe 10 rolls of film without the bag feeling like it’s at its limits.And when I’m going to work it can easily fit my lunch, my slr and a paper back and have more then enough space to do some running around on the commute home.Additionally all the hardware is solid and fantastic!My only complaint is the stylish bottom straps are far too large for any coat I own and still too wide to comfortably run a small tripod🤷🏻‍♀️

Super Tasche, die meinen Workflow perfekt ergänzt. So kann ich zwei oder drei Wechselobjektive direkt am Mann haben und habe die Möglichkeit die größeren Taschen/Koffer stehen zu lassen.Es passt auch eine Nikon Z8 mit angesetztem 70-200mm 2.8 S hinein.

The media could not be loaded. I already owned a Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L before I picked up this Bellroy bag, but because I also had a small Bellroy Lite Sling, I couldn't resist giving this one a try.I'm pleased to say that Bellroy's great reputation for quality production remains strong here, with a water-resistant, ripstop recycled nylon exterior, detachable strap and 'self-compressing gussets' to pull the bulk of the bag closer to your body, a large interior with padded dividers, a zipped interior pocket for batteries and memory cards, a large front pocket for your various accessories and everyday carry, and a padded exterior for protection and comfort.The exterior in particular feels tough and hard-wearing, although the nylon does collect scuffs and marks easily – the white patches you can see on my well-used bag is salt from a long and sweaty hike on a hot day, but thankfully it wipes clean nicely.The interior dividers are permanently stitched to the walls of the bag, rather than being fixed in place with velcro, but they have the advantage of elastic sides so that they can be pushed around to make more room in any of the three divisions as needed. However, this design means they're not closed at the bottom, so you'll need to be careful to not use the main interior space to store tiny items that could slip beneath the dividers.Small elastic pockets at either end of the bag interior offer extra space for smaller items – if your camera and lenses will allow it.As you can see in my photos, the bag comfortably swallows my large Sony A7 camera and long 35-150mm lens, but there's not much room for other items with this combination in place. I find I can just barely fit my small Ricoh GRIIIx camera in one of the pockets, but then I have little room for anything else. Bellroy's photos show the spaces occupied by a camera body and two lenses, each in their own slot, but you won't fit a longer lens in this orientation.The bag is extremely and uncommonly light at just 500g, which is very welcome because my camera and lens blows that out to 5kg. Thankfully, the wide strap includes a nicely proportioned shoulder pad, while the integrated padding in the rear of the bag ensures comfort against the body.The strap also has a 'Quick Slide' buckle that makes it fairly easy to adjust the length of the strap one-handed, if you suddenly need to loosen or tighten it on the go.Overall, I quite like the Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L, particularly its quality construction – which, at the asking price, counts for a lot. Sadly, it's hard to feel that the claimed 10 litres of space is truly there, and it's a bag you'll quickly fill if you tend to carry extras like filters, additional batteries and/or a power bank, a cleaning kit, and so on. The individual pockets are large, but filling any of them eats into the others.Practise some restraint, though – switching out my long lens for a compact option would make an obvious difference – and you should be happy with this one.
