Review on MOSISO Shockproof Camera Sling Bag Backpack For Canon/Nikon/Sony/Fuji DSLR SLR Mirrorless Cameras With Tripod Holder & Removable Modular Inserts, Storm Green by Matthew Miles

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good on right shoulder; a few caveats on gear fit

FIT ON BODYThis is a sling-style, cross-body bag that goes over the RIGHT shoulder, just like its competitors do. This way, the straps sit flat on your body and they meet comfortably right in the middle of your chest. If I put the bag on the left shoulder then the front strap bows up on one side due to improper orientation. The side strap also feels weird when the main strap is on the left. See my photos comparing the left and right shoulders. For reference I am 6’ 2" and slim build.Also, the side access to your camera is awkward if worn on the left shoulder.Notice the competing bags that are described as being cross-body and shown that way on their photos. This one is the same. Forget the photo of the model wearing it on the left, and the reviewers who are deceived.GEAR FITThis bag and its competitors all seem to have the same type of Velcro inserts, including the bags from Altura, Neewer, and Revain Basics, but it is not ideal. There is hardly any flexibility of arrangement. I discovered that they are best for a large camera body (though without a battery grip), and not so good for a compact body like my Fuji X-S10. This is why I deduct one star. If I store my camera the normal way, the right side doesn’t even come close to touching the lower surface of the bag, so it would be held only by the lens between the inserts when the bag is upright. I rearranged the inserts and reoriented the camera to work better with gravity but now I can’t grab the camera by the handle.At either orientation of the camera, the lower portion of the bag fits my 50-230mm lens on the camera body plus two lenses that aren’t so long. For diameters, my lens with a filter diameter of 72mm fits just barely. Note, small lenses may need to be bolstered with a cloth or something if you want them to fit snugly.OTHER COMMENTSThe bag feels sturdy and the material is thick. It holds its shape when empty, and all the walls are padded similarly as the inserts.Small-item storage abounds with two interior zipper pockets, three exterior zipper pockets, plus two interior elastic sub-pockets.Part of why I didn’t get the Altura bag is that the logo includes the word "Photo” which could make it more of a theft target. So, kudos to Mosiso for keeping the contents anonymous.TL;DR: Great bag overall. Right-shoulder cross-body wear. Best fit for a larger camera body with modest-sized lenses.
