What's your current favorite sling bag?

[@chuc.dxq3809]

Tomtoc is great. i have one for my Steam Deck. Very good bag. But for my camera, i use K&F 10L.

[@selishots]

Great overview! I like the digest of the explorer a bit more with the dual tone

[@andyt7294]

Thanks for showing that the a7c will fit in that bag!

John- Best T33 video. I would use it for travel or day hiking. I'm not a gamer or techie. My load out would be a 600ml bottle of water, rain jacket or vest rolled up, compact Canon point and shoot camera, 2 oz bottle of hand sanitizer, sunglasses, battery backup, pack of floss, and EDC penlight. Clipped on a carabiner would be a baseball cap. What do you think?

[@JohnScottB]

I think with a full size water bottle like that, you may have to be creative with how you put the other things in but I think you might be able to make all of that work.

Exact comparison I was looking for. Thank you!

[@JohnScottB]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shanghaiyancey]

Excellent detailed review. I have the Explorer T21 4L, and it is one of EDC bags.

[@faizinorbit1457]

this was extremely helpful thanks

[@richreid45]

Thanks!

[@DanielKravetz]

great video, thank you for the comparison between the two models, it was very helpful. Could you share the name (or type) of the pouches shown? I mean the one for the multitool and the "medkit"

[@JohnScottB]

Thanks for the comment! To be honest, both of those pouches came from a local store called Daiso. Basically a Japanese dollar store (I'm in socal). If you can find a store like that, they have a ton of small pouches for a couple bucks each. Hope that helps!

For an a6100 with a similar size lens to the one on your a7c, would you recommend one of the bellroy bags or this tomtoc aviator? I’m mostly concerned with which bag “looks” smaller on your body and which one provides more padding. Thanks for your help!

[@JohnScottB]

Check out my other videos for a Bellroy comparison. In that one I test fit with an A6400 with the 20mm f2.8 lens which is one of the smallest lenses for sony apsc. I fit it in the Lite Mini and the Venture 6L. If you only want to carry your A6100 with either the kit lens or the 20mm, the 4L Lite Mini is about as small as you can go. With this tomtoc you can fit it in sideways which would allow you to go with any lens. The Bellroy 6L is similar in size to the tomtoc in reality, but the tomtoc is a little smaller. I prefer the tomtoc currently. The one downside is it doesn't self compress when not fully loaded. That's the best design aspect of Bellroy sling. Hope that helps.
