tiny but mighty
5-stars for excellent design & quality. It's a small, comfortable camera sling that provides quick access to gear. It's also lightweight (1 lb), provides adequate cushioning protection, and is made with durable & water-resistant 420D fabric.I also own a Tenba DNA 11 Messenger made from 600D fabric. Although 600D fabric is more rugged, it's also thicker, isn't as flexible and is heavier, resulting in a camera bag that weighs more than twice as much (2.4 lbs). When you're on your feet all day taking pictures, every pound matters. I love Tenba quality & style, but the DNA 11 feels really heavy by the end of the day.Meanwhile, the Think Tank is slim, light & tucks away neatly on the back/side, then quickly slings to the front if you need gear or simply need to sit down. I can also fit everything I need: full-frame mirrorless camera (Canon R6ii), two RF lenses, neck & wrist straps, memory cards & other bits & bobs. I can either carry the camera with lenses detached, or carry the camera with one lens attached. For specificity, the RF100mm macro lens measures 3.21 in x 5.83 in (1.6 lbs); and the RF24-105mm measures 3.02 in x 3.50 in (0.87 lbs).I do have a nitpick re: Think Tank's comfy strap. The strap is padded & very comfortable. It also has a Velcro keeper intended to keep the strap in its place after sizing adjustment. The Velcro is better than nothing; however, the strap really needs the quick-pull adjuster like the ones that Peak Design uses for its Slide camera straps. That one design feature would add so much versatility & function that would instantly crown the TurnStyle 10 as the Best. Camera Sling. Ever.Pros:- Sleek design, lightweight & quick access to gear- Tiny footprint that packs a punch. Holds a full-frame mirrorless camera + 2 lenses- Comfy padded strapCons:- Strap length adjustment is cumbersome. Please add a quick-pull adjuster in the TurnStyle V3!!!- Price (but totally worth it once Think Tank adds a quick-pull adjuster!)For 100% transparency, I'm not a professional reviewer & didn't receive any payment or discount for writing this review. After kissing a lot of frogs (messenger bags, top loaders, slings), I just really like this sling bag & only wish it had a quick-pull adjuster to make it my dream camera bag.

Minimalist yet Practical
Just arrived today. I'll update this review as time goes on. I had some very specific reasons for this purchase. One, I'm 68 years old now and I have no intention of carrying the same loads as I did when I was in college. Second, I live in a place that is not abundant with photographic opportunities, so I don't shoot nearly as often as I did when I lived in the Eastern US, with its lush forests and bodies of water. I have to drive for a couple of hours to find something worthy of a photo.Now, about the bag. It's built like a tank. You can feel the quality the moment you sling it over your left shoulder. I stuffed my Pentax DSLR with short zoom attached, a rather slow 20-210 zoom lens, a triplet set of old fashioned metal extension tubes, and a short macro lens. The bag held everything with maybe room for my phone or snack. Still a bit heavy for an old man. I ditched the long zoom and the extension tubes and voila! Just right!There's a nifty pocket for your keys, a pen and pad or phone and a snack. There's also a flat pocket for your (8 inch or smaller) tablet, if you need it. I also found the built in rain cover. Nice when traveling back East when thunderstorms can hit without warning. (And they will) I will never forget strolling though a DC neighborhood when suddenly, we were drenched in what seemed a never ending storm with no raincoat or anything. The tablet sleeve will always carry a packable rain poncho, just in case.This pack is not for the person who is heading out for a full-blown photo expedition and needs to carry a lot of gear. It is made for the photographer who is heading out for a day on the trail or a day on the city streets. Let's be real. Who in his right mind wants to carry 75 lbs of camera gear all day?As I mentioned before, the bag is built like a tank but very light weight. It's a versatile pack with limited space, but if you plan well and want to limit yourself to the essentials and pack light, this bag will probably serve you quite well. As an added bonus, 2 day shipping is free for prime members!

A perfect fit for a lightweight setup!
What a wonderful little bag! It perfectly fits my G9 with two large lenses. I also had plenty of room for two extra batteries and a plethora of smaller accessories like charging cables, tablet, capture clip, and my keys, pocket knife, and wallet. The shoulder strap is very wide and quite comfortable, and easily distributes the weight of the bag, even fully loaded. This is my daily carry, the bag I take every time I go out the door, even to the store. I can easily carry my essentials, and still have my camera with me for those unexpected shots.

Super comfy and durable
Super comfy and durable, great quality and stylish. My only complaint is that it's too small. I have a couple of filters, kit small mirrorless camera with kit lens, a small vlogging mic, an additional 200 mm lens, and there's no way I could fit another drop of anything in there. Returning it because I know I'll outgrow it. I wish there was a size up.

Great choice if sling bags are your thing
PROS: This bag looks great, is well-built, lightweight and has a compelling design IF sling bags are your thing. I loved the compact size and the convenience of being able to swing it around and access my gear (FUJIFILM X-T2 w/ XF16-55 & XF55-200) quickly and without putting anything down. And it was easy to carry in front of me to keep an eye on it in a crowd.CONS: I would have like to have seen lockable zippers to make it harder for someone to casually slide them open while the bag is positioned behind me and I'm paying attention to something else. Also, if I didn't use the waist belt to hold the bag in place behind me it had a tendency to slide downward. Neither of these are major issues. Ultimately, I came to realize that sling bags are not for me. Even with relatively little gear in it, the bag put a kink in my back if I carried it around for more than an hour. This is never an issue with packs that have two straps.
