Excellent review. Even after looking at all the other reviews, I was on the fence about purchasing this bag. Your review settled my decision and I put in my order and am excited about its arrival. Your response (with a link to view) about whether it can be worn as a sling was an added bonus that Alpaka couldn't respond to after I reached out to them. Thank you!
Nice review. Am loving a bunch of my alpaka pickups right now paired with the Wandrd PRVKE as a travel / camera bag. Would love to see a bit more light from your key and on the table / top down views in future vids (though may just be my old iPhone screen 😁) 👍🏻
@@sean1e100 I like everything I’ve gotten from ALPAKA to date, they make good stuff. Thanks for the feedback on lighting. I’ve got a bit more room in my key light, and I do need to upgrade my overhead light.
Thanks - really good review. Just ordered mine. (No UK/European sellers, so a 3-4 week wait for it coming from the US.) Disappointed to see Alpaka ditching the previous bag's (non 'Pro') dayglo orange interior for that bland grey. One question - can a single strap be clipped diagonally to make it a sling backpack?
Thank you. Ouch… 3-4 weeks! I preferred their orange too. The gray is dull, but damn nice material. Good question on the strap, never even thought of that. I’m not sure if it has enough length, but I’ll give it a shot when I’m back in town tomorrow.
I was thinking of this too. And using the shoulder strap as a crossbody by clipping to one of the backpack strap endpoints, which could make use of the fidlock.

Thanks! My pleasure. Glad you found it helpful!
I do like how thorough you are in your reviews. My use case for this would be as a personal item when traveling.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I think that’s the perfect use case for this. Especially for work trips for me.

Definitely doable as a sling… ALPAKA Elements Tech Brief Pro as a sling!

Does it come in a smaller 13" version?
Not that I’m aware of.
