Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L (photography bag) - Black

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.

This is my 2nd Bellroy sling product and I’m happy with both. They are well made and utilize good materials. Zippers are weather sealed, robust, and easy to open/close. The main feature of this sling is the built-in dividers. Although they are in a fixed position (not removable), they are rigid enough to keep a camera separated from personal belongings. And when not carrying a sizable camera, the design of the dividers allow the bag to have a slimmer/lower profile when worn against the body. I haven’t taken it out in bad weather but I would not take it out in heavy rain or snow - the bag isn’t completely closed when the zipper is closed because of the design of the bag. There are 2 spots at the underneath the ends of the main zipper that are not completely closed when the zipper is closed, which means there is a chance something can fall out of the main compartment, or water/dust can get in. However, this has NOT happened to me. Just something to be aware of.

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).

Wow. I love Bellroy Bags - I have many of them but have always considered this bag too small for my mirrorless camera and two additional lenses. I’ve spent countless hours watching nearly 50 review coders of bags from all the big makers to try and find a sling that holds my camera and lenses without feeling too big to carry with me. I want easy access without needing to put the bag done in a dirty floor or forrest path. I thought I’d give it a try, with the small hope that it would work, and it’s amazing. Just as comfortable as my other Bellroy sling, even with all the gear inside, and fits the camera and lenses in the perfect grab and go orientation. I’m so happy. This answer has been staring me in the face all this time. The flaps inside the bag are not talked about enough. They are very flexible and also fold out of the way. It’s great design, allowing this bag to be used in any ways without the annoyance of bulky removable dividers. I do wish it was just a tiny bit wider and had a little more pocket space for taking other items along, snacks for example, but as a company and incredible comfortable and practical bag, there is real magic in this very well thought out and sleek little bag. Just buy it. It’s fantastic.

Un sac de qualité pour le quotidien et / ou des sorties photos avec du matériel léger. Je l'utilise pour des sorties photos soft (fuji X100f et un argentique de type Canon A1), ainsi qu'au quotidien en ayant toujours au moins mon argentique avec moi. En revanche, pour moi, il n'est pas adéquat pour un reflex ou hybride professionnel.

Come tutte le cose Bellroy, è una borsa davvero molto ben fatta. Personalmente faccio entrare una Leica SL2 + Ottica 24-90 (una bella bestia) e resta ancora spazio per un paio di ottiche supplementari, qualche scheda memoria o accessorio. Gli scompartimenti interni sono fissi ma "flessibili" ed è proprio questa la cosa geniale. Borsa promossa a pieni voti per il comfort di trasporto. Sono un fan delle borse sliding di Bellroy, che sono veramente geniali. Molto soddisfatto!

Great bag, I use it for my Fuji x-t50 with lens attached plus one or two additional lenses. Good protection against the rain if needed. Very happy with my purchase.

Buen material ideal para mi camara y una lente.
