Great for what it is - a very compact camera bag.
This is a review of the Besnfoto Waterproof Sling Camera Bag, in black, with an ASIN of B0CQ2F2K9K.Short version (TL;DR) - Negatives: Tripod pocket is tiny. Positives: Comfortable. Versatile. Well built.Long version …To put it simply, this is a great bag if you have a pretty good idea of what you’re going to be shooting and are able to make that work with a reasonably compact bag in general. There are lots of pockets, lots of ways to configure it, and a clever zipper system. On top of all that, it’s comfortable and, so far, seems quite durable.Negatives:* Tiny Tripod Pocket - a bunch of the media in the listing shows one of the side pockets being used to hold a tripod. Be aware that this will only work with the most compact of tripods - ones that collapse with virtually no room between the legs when folded. The overwhelming majority of tripods will not fit in that pocket. That said, all is not lost, which is why I’m not penalizing the bag very hard for this issue. It turns out the bag’s strapping system allows you to attach a tripod onto the side rather well for left-shoulder carry, provided the tripod isn’t completely slick at either end, but that’s almost never the case.Positives:* Comfortable - there are a lot of things about this bag that make it rather comfortable. One aspect that Chrome’s Niko Camera Sling could, somewhat ironically, learn from is that this has not just a padded strap, but a wide one. On top of that, this bag has a semi-rigid panel between the main compartment and your back, which nicely keeps angular gear from poking you unnecessarily. Finally, while it has a pocket rather oddly situated within the back-padding (no one should ever accuse this bag of being short on pockets), they also provided a recessed lip to contain the zipper and keep it from creating a pressure point.* Versatile - as already noted, this has a shocking amount of pockets. They’re all over it, and in a variety of styles. However, what’re more interesting aspects are the strapping-related options and the zipper system. On the matter of strapping, one can set up the main strap for either right-shoulder or left-shoulder wear. This strap has something akin to a daisy chain running down its front, as well as a D ring, so there’s a lot of opportunity for attaching add-ons to it. Beyond that, if one isn’t using both of the optional side straps to attach a tripod, you can rig one of them to act as an under-arm stabilizer strap, in proper messenger-bag style, via some attachment points near the main strap’s quick-release buckle. As for the main zipper, it runs more than 270 degrees around the bag, with 4 sliders. Using it, you can open this at either end like a rucksack or on the side like a regular camera sling. Additionally, as an aside, the pulls on the two “main” sliders (of the four) are really quite nice. Finally, as one would expect, you can, of course, reposition the padded dividers in the main pocket.* Well Built - there’s a lot of stuff that’s really “right” in how this is constructed. For one thing, the hardware is nice throughout. The strap cinches all lock, the straps all have keepers for their tails, the quick releases are beefy, and the attachment clips all appear stronger than they need to be. Then there’s a matter of general construction - there are no loose threads, the seams are solid, everything lines up properly, and so on. As for design, there’s all the stuff I already mentioned in terms of comfort and versatility, but this goes beyond that. One such detail is that the main pocket has a safety hook within it, so that should you run that rather clever zipper all the way around it, leaving it ready to flop open and drop your gear, it’ll still try to keep that from happening. Then there’s the rain cover. They could have easily claimed, given the main materials involved, that this was already rather water-resistant, but, instead, they provided a rain cover that’s not only a perfect fit for it, but is also small enough to tuck away into one of the many pockets until you need it. Well, that is, if you can remember which pocket you stuck it in, because this really has a ridiculous number of pockets for its size.To summarize, if you have a use for a very compact, versatile camera bag, this seems like a rather good choice. To me, it’s easily within rounding distance of 5 stars.

Nice enough as a shooting-day bag
The use-case for this, for me, is pretty specific: carrying the DSLR I plan on shooting with for the day, plus one or two extra lenses and some batteries and cards, maybe. Even for that, I will be stealing some extra velcro dividers from other bags I own to make it more useful (that's me saying that there isn't a great variety of velcro dividers provided, I guess). A lot of the features (pockets, extra straps) won't get much use by me. They seem as though they might be useful, but they aren't compelling.I do like how you can swing it behind your back, vertically, for scrambling around and then swing it to the front, horizontally, to get at your equipment easily.

tiny
this bag looks clean and sleek. however when got the actual product, it seems quite small. barely fit 2 lens (long ones) and one camera. for those who wants to have light package for walk around, this would be pretty good set. I just needed a bit bigger and versatile since I usually walk with my daughter who has few things to carry with.Another complain is the zipper. it wasn't smooth especially turning around the corner.Returned for the other options.

Just the right size for camera gear
I've been running around Greece with my camera gear in this pack, and it's been amazing. The sling is very comfortable and the bag is infinitely configurable. You can install the hook and latch style dividers to fit your gear, or like me leave them out all together. I especially like the two zippered exterior pockets for holding my telescoping selfie sticks, which I use for my Insta360. There is also a very well hidden flat pocket between the back pads and the case, which will hold your passport and other thin items. This bag also worked extremely well as a "personal item" when going through airline check in. One other feature that I discovered only after I got it, that sets it apart from all other bags of its kind, you can completely unzip it and pack it flatly in your suitcase. Such a versatile bag and very well made. Not waterproof on it's own, but I have a rain cover that fits perfectly.

It’s a nice little camera bag!
This is a nice little camera bag. It is not real big so you can’t fit a full frame camera with a grip in it, but, I could fit my full frame, Nikon D750 in there without a grip, along with a lens, an extra lens, a flash, and a remote. I have to admit that it was pretty snug, but it all fit. The zippers seem OK, not as heavy duty as I would like, but still very functional. There are plenty a little pockets and compartments to store things. It also comes with a rain cover, which is kind of nice. It’s nice as a shoulder bag and it fits pretty comfortably over my shoulder. I like that I can swing it up and have side access in the bag in case I need to pull my camera out in a hurry. It’s got a nice pocket on the side for a tripod and it has an expandable pocket for a water bottle or something like that. All in all, it’s a nice little bag if you’re going to go out for street shoots or something. You would have quick access and it doesn’t take up a lot of room. It is definitely not bulky. So if you want a nice little camera bag to put your mirror less camera in , a cropped DSLR or a full frame DSLR without a grip. This might be a nice little bag for you. It’s a good deal for the money.
