Simple design bag that does the job
This bag design and price tag is very similar to other camera sling bags out there, so what sets this bag apart from those other ones? Read on and I will tell you. This bag is a very simple design as it only has 2 compartments: a top compartment and the main compartment.
When looking at the bag, there’s a mesh pocket on the right side of the bag. The mesh pocket can hold a water bottle or small tripod. The left side is the “quick” access for the main compartment. The zipper that opens the quick access can continue on each side to fully open the bag for full access. There are buckles on each side of the zipper to stop you from opening the bag if only wanted to access the quick access only. There’s zipped mesh pocket on the quick access flap.
All zippers have nice pull cords. You can “lock” the bag by placing all the pull cord through the clip of the top buckle (see pic). The bag is meant to be worn on the right shoulder and you pull the bag from your left side to the front of your body. There’s an extra strap you can attached to a buckle on the shoulder strap for extra stability and you can tuck that strap away if you don’t needed.
The top compartment is large enough to fit a full-size flash with a little extra room left. The top compartment is sewn in place and not velco lined, so you can’t join the top compartment with the main compartment. The main compartment is fully lined with the soft velco-like material so you can place the dividers however you wish. Speaking of dividers, they are pretty stiff with some padding built in. The dividers does have fold lines so you can bend them into position. K&F also include a stretch strap that can go over the camera which I feel is kinda useless.
The main compartment is fairly large and I feel it’s big enough to store most camera bodies and lenses of different format. I was able to fit my Sony A7III camera with a Tamron 28-200mm lens attached, along with 2 extra lenses (Tamron 28-75mm and Sony 16-35mm) and charger and camera strap. I also have a Micro Four Thirds camera and I was able to fit my OM-1 with 12-40mm lens, along with 2 prime lens (17mm and 7.5mm), and a DJI Mini 1 drone kit (Drone, controller, and extra batteries).
This is a nice bag but I feel there could be some improvements. I feel this bag have sufficient padding, but it feels a little lacking around the zippers. The shoulder strap could use more padding as well. The bag feels like it’s water resistant but a rain jacket is not included. My biggest gripe is the lack of pockets! There’s only 1 pocket located in the flap of the main compartment. K&F could of place some pockets on the outside of the bag and also 1 or 2 in the top compartment.
Overall it’s a nice camera sling bag and if you can get it for 30 dollars, I think it’s worth it. However at the full retail price, there are other bag at a similar price tag so it makes it harder to recommend this bag since those bags do address some of the bag’s shortcomings.
