The new Ranger DSLR Sling XL camera bag from Hex is spacious for a sling but smaller than a backpack. Hex states that they incorporated customer feedback from photographers to create an entirely new design. We were sent one for review. How does it stack up in real-life usage? Find
I’ve really been digging camera slings lately. Especially as I photograph more and more outdoors during the summer heat, it’s much more comfortable having a lightweight bag to carry, as opposed to a heavy backpack. I mean, let’s be honest — no one likes back sweat! After trying out a
Aah, the camera strap. While we get straps in every camera box, they’re often low quality, and they’re meant for your neck. Try wearing that for several hours at a time, and deal with things like neck pain, your camera bouncing on your stomach and the worst — neck sweat.

I’ve been a user of Peak Design products for the last few years, mostly with their Peak Design Slide camera strap. It’s been the most comfortable strap I use, offering me the ability to use it as a sling and hold my heavy camera gear at my side, rather than

As we accumulate common photography paraphernalia (camera bodies, lenses, speedlights, and the list goes on), it becomes increasingly difficult to fit these toys into smaller bags. This was certainly the case for me.
I’ve long been a fan of Vanguard’s bag offerings, as I’m the owner of The Heralder 38 messenger bag as well as The Heralder 46 backpack. Both have long offered me suitable room for my Nikon DSLR body and lenses. But when I switched to a Panasonic mirrorless system earlier
