Bellroy Venture Sling 6L - Nightsky

OK who has the most bags, a 20 something socialite enjoying life and out on the town every evening with her friends, a happily married mum of 2 with a great career and well paid job or a 40 something man who spends way too much money on cameras and who is constantly looking for that that perfect camera bag?Yep, its me, and just still in my 40s thank you. I tried both this is and the larger 9L sling before settling on this one when looking for a right sized sling for wandering around with an old film camera when traveling. The 9L variant is very good, but large and does not sit so comfortably across my chest, side or back.This size will comfortably hold a Hasselblad 500CM with 80mm lens (see the picture), or if you use the internal divider you can easily carry a 35mm camera with two to three lenses without everything rattling about. You'll have space on the top for a folded up bucket hat . The interior has pockets for passport, lens filters and in the inside of the top lid has a great pocket for sunglasses or mobile phone.The strap is great, although I never use the quick release thing that you always see on the reviews, its easier enough to lift of your head and bucket hat when taking it off. The material is good, nice and strong and the zips are of a good waterproof design.If you are looking for a sling to carry a mixture of camera kit, whether that is film or mirrorless this is a good choice in my opinion.

I purchased this bellroy venture sling 6L bag months ago and use it every week. (I have previously purchased one of there leather wallets which it top quality so was happy to purchase this bag even if there were cheeper options) I can fit in an A5 sketch pad (not a ring binder one one with a spine) and a water bottle with room for lots more items. I can also swap out the sketch pad for quite a chunky camera (lumix lx100) All the different compartments come in very useful for all my EDC (every day carry) items. It’s very strong and comfortable to wear, my only negative point is one of the branding letters (e) has lost it’s lower swoosh but not really a deal breaker for me. I’d definitely purchase this again and other Bellroy products.

The bag looked decent however strap was a bit to small (for a bigger man) so I had to return it . This was for the ECOPAK version which had the elastic strap not the magnetic ones(which maybe bigger)

This bag literally lives on me, I take it absolutely everywhere. I wanted something to house my Sony A7C and Zeiss 35mm 2.8, as well as my Pocket 3. Also in the bag I hold my passport, a charger, mini biro, various cables, keys, vape gear, mini work knife, phone, mini tripod... and the glasses pocket is genius.I love how this fits, it's extremely comfortable and despite carrying all that weight, it never slips, it stays in place. The 'waterproof' zips, with their rubber/plastic lining keeps light rain out, and I've been caught out on showers before now without any harm to its contents. The material itself is hard-wearing.I spent weeks looking for a bag like this. I bought and returned three bags (thank you, Amazon) but I realised that, since you get what you pay for, I may as well splash out and buy something decent.Because I know this fits so well I'm never reticent to pick it up, meaning I always have my camera on me because this sling goes everywhere with me.

Quality is excellent, like all Bellroy bags.Big enough to carry all my daily essentials and a small camera and rain jacket. Plenty of inner pockets for organisation. Not totally waterproof but resistant enough for a light shower. Biggest risk is water coming in through the zip which can happen easily as it collects there

Great quality, great capacity and comfortable to use.

The Zips are not very intuitive but its handy for one camera body and one medium sized lens, i use it regularly

Top quality the best
