The Peak Design Everyday Sling V2 comes in 3L, 6L and 10L. For most camera buyers, the real decision is between the two smaller sizes. The 3L keeps one camera and lens close, light and discreet. The 6L gives a mirrorless kit room for a second lens and the everyday items that travel with it. This guide helps you choose by what you actually carry, not by the bigger number.
Choose the Everyday Sling 3L if you carry a compact or mirrorless camera with one lens attached, plus small essentials such as a spare battery, memory cards and your phone. It is the size to pick when the bag should sit close to your body and stay out of the way on a city walk or a travel day.
Choose the Everyday Sling 6L if a second lens, a compact flash or your everyday items need their own space next to the camera. At about 35 × 23 × 12 cm against the 3L’s 30 × 19 × 11 cm, it is a modest step up in footprint for a useful amount of extra room.

A sling is sized by the largest item that has to live in it, which is usually your camera with its lens attached. Batteries, cards, a phone and keys fill the gaps around it. So start with the one camera and lens you will carry on most days, not every piece of gear you own.
Then compare that setup with the bags. The 3L measures about 30 × 19 × 11 cm and the 6L about 35 × 23 × 12 cm. These are outside measurements: padding and dividers take up some of that space. Leave a margin rather than planning to the last centimetre. If your camera and lens are close to the 3L’s limits, the 6L is the safer choice.
The 3L is built for the one-camera, one-lens day. VideoLinks lists it for mirrorless or compact gear: a compact camera, or a small mirrorless body with a prime or short zoom attached. A spare battery and cards go in the front organiser pocket, with room left for your phone and wallet.
Its strength is what it leaves out. A smaller bag sits closer to your body, swings round to the front more easily when you want the camera, and stops you packing “just in case” gear. For street photography, sightseeing and long walking days, that restraint is often the point.
The limit is just as clear. A second lens, a flash or a bulky zoom will quickly crowd it. If those regularly come with you, the 3L will start to feel tight.
The 6L is listed for a mirrorless or compact DSLR setup. It is about 5 cm wider and 4 cm taller than the 3L. In practice, that extra room is what lets a second lens or a compact flash have its own compartment beside the camera, kept apart by the FlexFold dividers.
It is also the better everyday bag if you carry non-camera items. A power bank, sunglasses or a small notebook compete with your camera for space in the 3L; in the 6L they can sit alongside it. The trade-off is a slightly larger bag against your body, which most mirrorless shooters with more than one lens will find a fair exchange.
Both sizes use the same 400D nylon canvas with a DWR-coated shell and weatherproof zips. Both open from the top with a clamshell-style zip, have a front zip pocket with an organiser, and use a strap that adjusts for left- or right-shoulder wear. You are choosing capacity, not a different feature set, so the decision is simply what you need to carry.

Travel walkabout. A compact mirrorless body with one prime, a spare battery, cards and your phone. Choose the 3L: it covers the day without extra bulk and keeps the camera quick to reach.
Creator day out. A mirrorless body with a standard zoom, one extra prime and a small flash or accessory, plus a power bank. Choose the 6L: the dividers keep the second lens and accessory separate from the camera.
Daily commute with a camera. One camera and lens, plus keys, wallet, earbuds and a power bank. Choose the 6L, so your personal items are not pressed against the camera.
The Everyday Sling 10L is listed at about 42 × 23 × 14 cm for a mirrorless or compact DSLR setup, with a padded slot for up to a 13" tablet. Consider it if a tablet or a larger zoom is part of your everyday carry.
Beyond that, a sling starts to work against you. All the weight sits on one shoulder, which becomes noticeable over a long day. If your kit has outgrown a sling, our camera backpack vs sling vs roller guide explains when to move up.
Wear the sling across your back while walking, then swing it round to the front when you need the camera and open the top zip. If you want the camera ready between shots rather than in the bag, pair the sling with a strap or clip. Our Peak Design Capture Clip vs Slide vs Leash guide compares the options, and the Peak Design creator carry guide shows how bags and straps work together.
Choose your colour last. Both sizes come in several colours, and the product pages show which are currently in stock. Size is the decision you will live with every day.

For a single camera and lens, the 3L is the better bag: smaller, quicker to use and easier to wear all day. For a mirrorless kit with a second lens or more daily items, the 6L is the safer buy, and it leaves room to add gear later. If you are genuinely torn between the two, choose the 6L.
Yes, for a compact camera or a small mirrorless body with one lens attached, which is what VideoLinks lists it for. Compare your camera and lens with its outside size of about 30 × 19 × 11 cm and allow for padding. If you also carry a second lens or a flash, choose the 6L.
Mainly capacity and size. The 3L is about 30 × 19 × 11 cm and the 6L about 35 × 23 × 12 cm. Both share the same weatherproof shell, top-zip clamshell opening, front organiser pocket and left- or right-shoulder strap. The 6L has room for a mirrorless or compact DSLR setup with a second lens or daily items.
Choose the 6L for a mirrorless setup with one or two lenses and small daily items. Choose the 10L, about 42 × 23 × 14 cm with a padded slot for up to a 13" tablet, if a tablet or a larger zoom is part of your daily carry.
