Think Tank Photo TurnStyle 5 V2.0 Sling Camera Bag - Blue

Excellent bag. Comfortable and convenient access to gear. Just wish it was a little bit bigger. I can just fit my Sony A7r with a Sony FE 35mm f/2.8 mounted to it along with a Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 and Rokinon 14mm f/2.8. There is little to no more room left for much else. Again, that being said, I love how the bag swings around to give me access to the lenses to switch them out quickly.

I have the Turnstyle 5, 10, and 20. This is a review for the 5. There are many complaints of the size of this sling bag in the reviews. These may or may not be fair. This is a small bag at only 5L. With this bag forget about bringing your battery grip unless you can keep it detached while stored. If you have a larger camera body, you'll probably get a single lens in here unless you have some small ones. Forget about your telephoto lenses unless you are M4/3 or smaller.For M4/3 gear, this is great. You can bring a small body and a few smaller lenses, or a couple premium, or a telephoto and another small.I use it with full frame when working where I want to keep all my gear with me and I know I'll be carrying my camera 100% of the time and not storing it in the case. I use the sling to hold a lens or two for changes. I've been able to fit a full frame Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 + full frame Sigma 35mm f1.2 in the bag at once, along with a small number of extras like batteries and a flash trigger.The sling bags are a top choice when it comes to hands-free carrying, supporting lens changes, and traveling fast and light. This 5L almost disappears from your back.Like the other slings, you can rotate this to your front. The zipper is on top and was designed to open to a little station where you can change your lens in the bag while its hanging around your shoulder.Another benefit of these bags are that they can be worn in the front. This became an issue in a museum that did not allow backpacks, a simple rotation to the front and it was no longer a backpack and everyone was happy.Lastly it comes with its own hidden rain case which is nice peace of mind.Kind of a plus and a minus, the Turnstyle bags hold their shape. They don't have hard parts but they are well constructed and padded to be rigid in shape regardless of how much you have in them. This is great in many cases. It does make the bag less flexible to stuff, as others note. You are fighting the padding and stiffness. The upside is a half full bag with a heavy lens isn't going to sag to one side or otherwise lose it's shape. The key is to select the appropriate size. This is a functioning bag, if you are looking mainly for a carrying or packing bag, this is not efficient for that. This bag excels in supporting mobility.The caveats to this bag are that (1) it is small, do not under-estimate how small as appears many do (2) the lens changing function is not as functional if the bag is overstuffed and you have to dig around. Get the next size up if needed. (3) As others mentioned, the outer pockets are slim. I find them useful for flatter things like batteries, cards, mini folding reflectors, but you won't get anything thick in those without losing space in the main compartment, including thicker batteries. (4) it comes with a waist belt that can be mostly pushed up into a hidden compartment. I wish it could be detached/attached as it adds a slight amount of extra bulk for something I probably won't use except for long hikes.

I purchased this for hiking and biking with my compact travel cameras. I leave the bigger heavier gear at home when biking and for some travel, so I only need to carry my Nikon Z50 and two kits lenses, which this bag accommodated with room to spare. I can also fit my Z30 with the 16-50 z lens and the Z50 with the 50-250 z lens, but it’s a very tight fit with the addition of the Z30 body. Good purchase. This is a high quality bag with excellent materials and attention to details.

This is a great quality product. The construction and materials are excellent, although the color options are limited. I have been searching for the right bag for my new compact Lumix DMC FZ1000 bridge camera and a small pair of binoculars for hiking with possibly an exterior mesh pocket for a water bottle. I like the fit of this bag; it balances nicely on your back and is easy to swing around for access to your camera. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. The 5 V2.0 is really small; even though my camera is super compact it filled the bag with no room for another thing; surely not a pair of binoculars. I had to return it. I may end up ordering the 10 V2.O bag but am a little uninspired by the colors (its a girl thing).

I returned this bag for a few reasons. First, owing to the bag's slim profile and tear-drop taper, it is entirely too small for most cameras. Many other Amazon reviewers indicate this fact as well. Only purchase it if you have a very compact camera, like a small point and shoot. The Fuji X-T30, which I consider a small camera, smashes up against the inside walls of the bag when zipped, compromising the usefulness of the bag's many pockets. The whole experience of removing and returning the camera to the bag is unpleasant, and I'd also be concerned about scratching my camera's finish on the zipper. It's just too cramped.The second issue is the waist strap. A waist strap is unnecessary given the bag's micro carrying capacity. The bag will stay firmly in place on your body without it. While you can tuck the strap into a hidden slot on the side, all that strap material and plastic creates a bulge INSIDE the bag, further decreasing space for the camera. The bulge is also visible from the outside. It's a poor design. I'd suggest to Think Tank that they kill the waist strap for v3, or make it totally removable.Finally, the bag is uncomfortable on my shoulder. There's too much material . The shoulder strap is too broad for the size of the bag. Maybe you'd want this beefy strap on a 10L bag filled with lenses, but you don't need it here.I replaced the Think Tank with the Peak Design Everyday Sling 3L. The PD is a smarter design all around, it appears to be higher quality with cleaner lines, it's comfortable, waterproof, and there's plenty of room for my camera.

I bought the 5 for my EM1 M3. I figured it would be big enough since it’s a M43 camera but although I like the bag I’d say only buy the 5 if you have a fixed lens camera. The moment I put my EM5 with the 12-40pro lens in there the front and back compartments become almost useless because it’s so tight. I’d have the carry the body and the lens separate in order for it not to be tight which defeats the purpose if the camera isn’t ready to be taken out quickly to take a shot.If you have an ILC then stay away from the 5 and get the 10.The 5 is great for my GR3 with some other daily carry items or maybe an X100V or similar camera.

Tolle Qualität

Really good camera bag. A Fujifilm X-S10 with attached 18-135mm lens fits in really nicely. Comfortable to wear. Great to be able to swing the bag around to the front to take the camera out without having to take the bag off.

Ottimo prodotto, per chi vuole portarsi dietro una mirrorless con uno o due obiettivi: ad esempio ci sta benissimo una Fujifilm X-Pro 3 con un paio di obiettivi a focale fissa. Solo una cosa: il peso del monospalla (vuoto) risulta ufficialmente sui 400g, invece poi misurandola sta sui 600g circa... la qualita' comunque dei materiali e' ottima, prodotto consigliato!

Il prodotto è ben fatto, i materiali sono buoni, le rifiniture curate. Le dimensioni vengono date per una mirrorless ma questo vale per i modelli più compatti. Se si possiede anche un piccolo zoom o un obiettivo fisso di buona qualità, lo spazio all’interno è appena sufficiente. Anche le tasche aggiuntive sono poco capienti e se si riempiono tolgono spazio interno. Ho cambiato questo modello con il V10, più capiente.

The Turnstyle 5 V2 is a superb shoulder bag designed to make carrying a camera-with-attached-telephoto-lens as unobtrusive and near-effortless as possible. There is another parallel zipped section, that could carry a small tablet, or batteries / memory cards etc. The inner Velcro-attached partitions can be rearranged at will, or removed altogether, to suit storage requirements. I currently store a Panasonic mirrorless Four Thirds camera in mine, with a 70 - 200 mm zoom permanently attached. The partitions make good, shock-absorbing padding. Of course, the Four Thirds system gives the lens an effective 140-400mm range in 35mm terms - perfect for most wildlife photography.Quick reactions are often the difference between a great photo opportunity, and missing it. That's where the bag comes in. It's easy to slide the bag-strap over your shoulder in one smooth motion, to position the bag in front of you for access to the camera. A quick unzip frees the camera for use.The Four Thirds system is a near-perfect compromise between ease of carrying, and getting those high quality, long-range telephoto wildlife shots - shots that, with a 35mm system, would cost shed-loads of money..... and a team of dedicated Sherpas to lug the gear! I can't see myself reverting to more conventional camera bags anytime soon. The Turnstyle 5 is just the job.
