FAQs
Can this bag fit a full-frame DSLR?

Is the bag waterproof?
It is weather-resistant, meaning it can withstand light rain and moisture, but it is not intended to be submerged in water.
How do I adjust the strap for cross-body carry?
Use the slide-buckle on the strap to extend the length, then secure it at the desired position for comfortable access.
Does it have a dedicated phone pocket?
The interior features multiple slip pockets that are sized to accommodate most plus-sized smartphones securely.
How much does the empty bag weigh?
The bag weighs exactly 122 grams, making it one of the most lightweight options in its category.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels loose or slips during use
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the adjuster and pull firmly to lock the tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your sling, adjust the shoulder strap length while the bag is cross-body to ensure it sits high on your back or hip for maximum security. When packing, place your heaviest items closest to your body to maintain a balanced center of gravity. Compatibility is best with compact cameras, film rangefinders, and standard smartphones. To clean the bag, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the weatherproof coating. Air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation.
