One of my viewers requested for the size of the bag, so I took some photos to illustrate the length of the bag, and shared it on my instagram. Have a look: instagram.com/p/CE3kRWIl6Ik/?igshid=1ezlj71e88jno
You are welcome. I was offered the shoulder strap when I backed their Indiegogo campaign. From their website, it looks like they have stopped selling the shoulder strap. The sling is still good without the strap. I don't normally use the shoulder strap, only use it when I carry lots of heavy stuff anyway. Maybe you can consider looking for other third party shoulder straps?
Sky Perspective Thank you. The strap looks really useful, especially with the little zip pocket. A great shame they have not decided to continue with it. I may still order a sling anyway. Your review was really good. Thanks again.
Thanks for the compliments. The dimension is about 25cm by 18cm. Pretty sure your dell won't fit. My galaxy tab s6 is about 24.5cm in width and it's about as wide as it can get. Maybe 25 to 25.5cm can still barely squeeze in but definitely not 28cm. I took a picture with the ruler and posted on my instagram. Have a look. You can zoom in. instagram.com/p/CD0MWmDJWv4/?igshid=11f7dt10kwtwq
@@SkyPerspective thanks a lot. But Yesterday I asked on the instagram of Alpaka and they told me that the 31 x 22 cms. But I don't know if that is the total size of the bag or the size of the pocket for the tablet. Are you sure that the pocket size for the tablet is 25 cm wide?
Yes 31 X 22cm sounds more like the outer dimension of the bag. If I measure the tablet pocket inside the main compartment, it is about 29cm wide, but the limit is the zipper opening. The main compartment zipper can't open wider than 25-26cm as shown in my instagram photo, so we can get a 28cm tablet in even if the inside tablet pocket is 29cm. Hope this makes sense. Have you considered Alpaka alpha sling XL? I remember that's a bigger sling bag, but I don't know if that will fit your Dell. Please check the dimensions too.
Great video bro, very informative! I'm waiting on mine and i am even more hyped after seeing this video! I just wanted to ask, how tall are you? just so i can get a better prespective of how it would fit on me.
I am of medium height and build, about 173 cm tall. Yap. it's a great sling with lots of great design thoughts put into it. Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you will receive your Bravo X soon. Which colour did you get?
Hi, Do you know if the zippers are YKK? There is no mention of it on the website. I just took delivery of the limited edition multi -cam version. The zippers have an Alpaka logo stamped on them, not the usual YKK you find on many quality bags.
Hi, I can confirm mine are YKK zippers, I took a photo for you to see: instagram.com/p/CJhYqcblfMm/?igshid=12fnii4hdjmrs I am not sure if they are still using the YKK for the limited edition Bravo X. I suspect they might have got YKK to add their Alpaka logo on the zippers, or they might be making their own zippers now? Let's see if anyone else have more information on this. By the way, the limited-edition looks really really nice. Enjoy.
@@SkyPerspective Thank you so much. It would be interesting to see if anyone else has information about this. There is no mention of YKK on their website, and this is another selling point. I am still very happy to have been able to get a Ltd Edition version. Only 250 were made. Keep up with your great reviews. Happy New Year my friend.😀🎉
@@SkyPerspective Hi, I emailed Alpaka and they have confirmed that the zippers are all YKK but the newer ones are embossed with the Alpaka symbol rather than the YKK lettering. Hope that helps everyone.😀👍
Hi Brad, it might be because I backed their indiegogo campaign where the deal comes with all these accessories. From their current website, it seems like all these accessories need to be purchased separately now. The cable and external charging port is good and works pretty well, but I don't use them anymore. I am using wireless power bank charging now: ruclips.net/video/N6IeuNE0r0w/видео.html
Thank you. Glad you find the review useful. I am not quite sure. I doubt the top thickness of this bag (12cm) can take a full-frame DSLR, and only the top part of the sling bag is 12cm, it gets flatter as it slops downwards. You may be able to squeeze in the DSLR, if it has a short lens like a prime lens. What is the dimension of your DSLR? Have a look at these two photos in my instagram post, showing the dimension. Hope this helps. instagram.com/p/CE3kRWIl6Ik/?igshid=1ezlj71e88jno

Thanks for your comment. These are some of the things I carry in this sling bag: - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, 10 inch tablet - Nulaxy KM12 Bluetooth keyboard - Logitech M720 Triathlon mouse - Two card holders - One coin pouch - bunch of keys - Soundcore Liberty Air 2 earbuds with it's carrying case - 5000mAh powerbank - Mobile Phone pouch and my Galaxy Note 10. - Foldable Reusable Groceries Bag - Bravo X stablising strap .... and I think I can still squeeze in a small headset. Yes, it can take quite a lot. I will try to do a quick video and publish it over the weekend.
Yes, the small front pocket can be opened easily, only the main compartment double zip can be locked using a pad lock. I think what they meant by anti-theft is that the material is cut proof. The good thing is, we can easily swing this bag to the front in crowded areas.

I love my Bravo X, but I'm trying to figure out what the strap that goes across the back of the bag is used for?
It's supposed to stripe down and secure the bottom of the bag to our lower back, so the bag won't flop around when we are running or walking fast.
@@SkyPerspective thank you, I wasn't sure if it was to go over the top of your carry-on handle or what lol
Your are welcome. Bravo x is a very well designed sling. I have been using it for more than a year now. 😁
very good video. Could you give me the measurement of the length of the compartment for the tablet please. I use a dell that measures 28 cm x 19 cm
Thanks for the compliments.
The dimension is about 25cm by 18cm.

They never shipped the phone stand or the charging cable. What’s the deal with that cable and the external charging port

@@SkyPerspective Received an email from Alpaka today. New and improved shoulder strap is for sale!

Bisa pesan di mana tas ini
Hi Sudarta, here you go: alpakagear.com/
this bag say anti theft.. by just looking at it so easy to steal from behind
Yes, the small front pocket can be opened easily, only the main compartment double zip can be locked using a pad lock. I think what they meant by anti-theft is that the material is cut proof. The good thing is, we can easily swing this bag to the front in crowded areas.
