Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L
A camera sling that gets your camera out in seconds
A roughly 10 L camera sling with padded, rearrangeable dividers, a wide-mouth zipper and an ambidextrous quick-slide strap. It has pockets for batteries and SD cards, measures 8.7 x 14.2 x 4.7 in and weighs about 500 g.
Our take
Good travel photos get missed while the camera is still in the bag. If getting it out means taking a backpack off and unzipping it, you'll stop bothering by day two.
This sling fixes that. Carry a mirrorless camera and a lens or two on your front, swing it round and shoot. The padded dividers pop out and rearrange with no noisy fasteners, the wide-mouth zipper opens fully, and there are pockets for batteries, SD cards and lens caps. Straps underneath hold a tripod or a jacket. It measures 8.7 x 14.2 x 4.7 in and weighs about 500 g. At around 10 L it's too small to be your only bag, and too bulky to tuck next to a full backpack on the plane.
If you shoot city days with a real camera, this is the one we'd buy. Phone shooters should skip it. Check the price before you book.
Who it’s for
Photographers who explore cities and day trips with a mirrorless camera and want it within reach.
Skip it if
Skip it if you shoot on your phone or carry a big camera kit. A simple day sling or a full camera backpack fits those better.
Bellroy Venture Camera Sling 10L: questions people ask
Can you bring camera gear in your carry-on?
Yes, and it's the safer choice, since cameras and lenses can be damaged or lost in checked bags. Spare lithium batteries have to go in your carry-on, not your checked bag.
Is a camera sling better than a backpack?
For day trips, usually. A sling is faster to get into and lighter. A backpack carries more gear and is easier on your shoulders over long days.
Does a camera sling count as a personal item?
A small sling usually can. If you also bring a backpack, many airlines count them as two items. Check your airline's rules.
