Thank you for this review! I've been searching for a sling bag that I can use for travel and use at theme parks. I'm 5' tall so something that would carry basics without being too big to wear on my back and swing around to easily access items. This one caught my eye because the tapered style should help lessen the bulky look that most other bags and slings have. Photos are one thing but videos like this really help!

[@richardlim8]

Your review of the Alpaka Bravo Sling Mini is excellent and motivated myself to get one right away. Have ordered one and can't wait to use it.

[@garrettgiles6212]

Can this fit an a6400 with the kit lens?

[@tenganis]

I love that sling and have really been enjoying the daily vlogs!

[@dmdntran]

Cleannn video, super insightful. Thanks man!

[@JodyHongFilms]

Great Sling Bag! But can it fit Sony A7III with Sigma 16-35mm lens?

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Is it 4L or 5L? There are Alpaka Bravo Sling Mini 4L(don't sell now) and Alpaka Bravo Sling Mini v2(5L). I'm shorter and 4L is nice, but the 5L and 6L I have from Peak and Pgytech are big to carry on the shoulder. Camo color is my favorite.

[@stevenlawrenceferj]

Where can we purchase this version in 2024?

[@arlencarlson]

What I want to know is how it differs from the Go Sling Mini.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Your the Everyday carry sling guy! Nice job with the video! It is very hard to keep up with everyday videos for sure! Its hard enough to keep one video a week.

[@AJTrucker]

I love that sling😍 awesome review!!!

[@Crepes1626]

Great review, kinda wish you had better lighting tho, kinda hard to see when the bag is a dark colourway.

[@ItsDesmond]

Thanks! Will definitely make sure future bags have some less stylized and brighter lighting for detailed shots.

[@kennethmorales8200]

Hi, nice review. can it fit ipad mini 6?

[@augustboyd8458]

Do I’m a content creator and h was wondering if a gimble and a switch can both fit in here

[@ItsDesmond]

A switch would definitely fit. Depends on the gimbal. Probably something the size of a DJI osmo mobile.

[@weylonsothergmail530]

Hey, awesome video!
How did you magnetically mount the insta360 camera?

[@Stormkryptonian]

His pendant in the front pocket is also magnetic, so the insta360 sticks to it through the pocket

[@Mackster248]

Was actually thinking of grabbing this and stumbled upon this review. I have their magnetic clip, does this have an attachment for that?

[@ItsDesmond]

There isn’t a dedicated clip attachment on this bag. But you can use the Hub Clip on anything you can clamp it to. So you could use the Hub clip inside the bag

[@namzilla]

can you fit a sony a7iv in it?

[@ItsDesmond]

The Bravo Mini won’t fit a full frame body like the A7IV. I would say smaller cameras like the ZV-1, RX100s and action cameras plus accessories.

[@Jungmoon86]

Does the bag fit the dji mini 2 and controller?

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Read the full description.Fits an iPad Mini 6, Nintendo Switch OLED & headphones

[@AJTrucker]

Does that sling big enough for a ZV1, the matispod and a mic?

[@AJTrucker]

All connected

[@ItsDesmond]

Not connected. You’ll need to detach the ZV-1 from the mantis pod. Also you can have a small rode video micro in the bag but again - disconnected. But I will normally just use the onboard zv-1 mic and keep my rode wireless go II mics in the bag.
But you can use a much smaller tripod with the zv-1 like the gorilla pod mini and keep that on the camera.

[@AJTrucker]

Ok thanks!

[@guestleather9442]

nice

[@ajackson-ross7295]

So does it fit Nintendo oled as I’m looking for the right bag

[@ItsDesmond]

Yes. This will fit the Nintendo switch Oled version

[@ajackson-ross7295]

Is it really padded

[@ajackson-ross7295]

Is this the best for Nintendo or is there any others

[@Tshizzle28]

Not the peak design anymore?

[@ItsDesmond]

I would say for compact camera carry - the Alpaka is my favorite. But for a full frame mirror less setup - I go with my Ona Rockaway Sling - which is a bit larger than my 3L peak Design Sling and let’s me carry an extra lens or even an extra camera body. But its more of a design aesthetic choice vs functionality.

[@lantakchannel9064]

Hye nice review✨✨..This ykk zipper?

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Yes, but sometimes used different one

[@aka_arie]

can u fit a tumblr over there ?

[@yagi_661]

U can clip it of the loop outside the bag
