🎒 Elevate your shoot game with sleek, smart carry
The Think Tank Messenger Bag in Azul is a lightweight, compact camera bag designed for professional photographers using DSLR or larger mirrorless systems. It features a dedicated padded pocket for an 8” tablet, fits multiple lenses including a 24-70mm f/2.8 or f/4, and includes a stabilizer strap for secure, comfortable carrying during active use.

Well made and ideally sized for the Canon R7 and goodies
I needed a sling bag on the small and light side to carry my Canon EOS R7 and RF-S 18-150, small shotgun mic, Tascam audio recorder, and a few assorted small accessories. Thus, the Turnstyle 10 V2.0 from Think Tank landed on my doorstep. Indeed, the aforementioned gear fit perfectly with room to spare. I removed one divider, allowing the camera with lens and hood mounted to sit lengthwise in the bottom of the bag, ready to quickly pull and shoot. However, if I need to carry an extra lens or flash, the camera will fit lens down without hood, allowing use of another divider to stow the extra lens. If you have a pro-sized camera and/or F2.8 telezoom, you probably should spring for the next size up, the Turnstyle 20 V2.0.Although the Turnstyle 10 is only slightly over 1 LB in weight, it boasts dense padding and can certainly handle light bumps and short drops. The sling strap is comfortable—better than my Peak Everyday Sling 6L—but is only designed for left-shoulder carry, luckily my preference. Think Tank went overboard with the strap length—enough for a 7-foot photog—and I should cut off the bundled-up extra strap flapping against my chest. I don’t use the waist strap—slow walker—but I can see its usefulness if you run, hike, or bike with this bag.Construction is clean, albeit not as tidy and pretty as my heavier Peak and Billingham bags. I can’t say this is the most handsome bag I own, but it is comfy and light, will sit upright when off-shoulder, is sized well for a medium-sized mirrorless or DSLR, and the easy and fast access make it a winner for me.

Excellent construction, comfortable to wear.
excellent construction and fit, comfortable to wear. We found this size a little too small and opted for the next larger bag instead (on order, so I can't comment on the fit of that one). We have a Nikon Z 50 II with a 28-400 zoom lens that we leave on, and a holder for 2 spare batteries. If you carry smaller lenses on your camera, this would be a great fit and you'd be very happy with it.

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.

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.

Could this be the perfect everyday carry camera bag? YES
This Think Tank 10 V2.0 bag is my second one. I have owned the TT 20 V2.0 for 8 years and used that one as my everyday carry bag for the Nikon D850 with the 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses. I have loved it: so versatile and lightweight! The new bag is for use with OM System's OM-1 camera with the 12-40 f/2.8 Pro and 40-150mm f/2.8 plus the Pana-Leica 8-18 f/2.8-4: everything fits perfectly in this bag and, because the OM system is smaller, the smaller bag is a great bonus! Highly recommend the Think Tank Turnstyle bags for an everyday or even small travel bag.
