Compared to the other slings I've used, it goes above the fold in my honest opinion. This is our first ever DSLR-sized camera sling crafted to perfection by our very own Stephen Jones, a legendary bag-maker-extraordinaire. We’re incredibly proud, after all his hard work, to make this what it is today. Check out the review and video below.

To Know:

Moment’s first ever DSLR-sized camera sling is now here. This bag is the first of its kind. With an extremely tough exterior featuring a rugged, waterproof, recycled NorthPak material, this bag can go literally anywhere you want — worry free. It’s made for both men and women looking for something to carry their bag through harsh conditions in a minimalist fashion. Its extremely thoughtful design means big comfort and fully customizable packing options.

What We Love:

Magnetic Buckle

The magnetic buckle for the tripod strap is incredibly satisfying and secures everything in place.

Non-Slidey

The bag's materials cling to your body for ultra comfort and secured placement when moving around during active shoots.

Left-Handed and Right-Handed

Featuring a quick release, padded main strap for right and left handed shooters (adjustable to either side).

The comfortable, rugged camera sling.

Moment’s first ever full-body camera sling, made for the adventurous photographer in mind, is jam packed with customizable features and a low-profile design. This is truly the sling we’ve always wanted. A bag we could trust to carry our gear that was comfortable to use all day… even on our most active shoots. Made from rugged, 100% recycled NorthPack Sailcloth fabric and shockproof padding, this is the build quality that your grandfather would be proud of. Lined with soft pockets and configurable storage, it also keeps your gear organized, no matter how much you carry. It’s even multi directional for right and left handed shooters. Its active strap keeps your sling tight when moving, shooting, or even hiking, while its rectangular shape maximizes the gear you can fit. With a convertible strap for right and left handed shooters, this is the camera sling bag you’ll trust to stay tough and comfortable no matter the conditions.

What makes it unique? It’s a camera sling that does one thing really well — sling your camera. It’s not a multi-purpose sling bag. Instead it’s a camera sling that you trust to keep your gear protected, while staying close (and comfortable) to your body when moving, shooting, and even hiking. It’s tough exterior keeps your most valuable items protected under harsh conditions, making it top-tier quality. The bag has a low-profile silhouette that compliments nearly any style or body.

Overall, we’re proud of the work it took to make this bag and we’re stoked to put it in the hands of those who will appreciate it. Thanks to the man for being the all-star behind this project, Stephen Jones, and for inspiring us to only accept the best of the best.

Features and Compatibility:

Super Organized: A camera sling you can configure with modular, padded dividers to create multiple small pockets, or take them out for a single compartment.

Extra Tough: Water resistant YKK zippers and rugged, 100% recycled and waterproof NorthPak sailcloth body protect your gear from a downpour.

In Detail

Featuring a quick release buckle, it’s padded main strap for both right and left handed shooters can be adjusted to either side for maximum comfort. There's even a cross body Stability Strap so the bag doesn’t slide around when on the move or bending down. It’s padded wingback design hugs your body for a comfortable carry and allows you to move fluidly without worrying if it will fall off or slide. It’s rugged, waterproof, recycled NorthPak material features water-resistant YKK zippers for ultimate protection against Mother Nature. NorthPak is the world’s first durable + waterproof pack fabric made from 100% recycled polyester fiber and film. It’s made by North Sails, the world’s leading sailmaker and producer of laminated sailcloth. So yeah, it’s pretty rugged. As far as we know, this is the first time it’s ever been used on a camera bag. A quick access, dual zippered main flap for grabbing gear on the run makes for the perfect amount of customization, without having to be overwhelming. And, of course, there’s an ultra-soft padded inner lining that protects your tech gear on the inside with modular dividers lined with quilted velcro for easy organization.
