In today's video, I'm going to show you
0:02
the ultimate EDC/photography
0:06
adventure sling pack, new from Tactical
0:09
Geek. This is the L3 Pro. Check it out.
0:26
So, if you guys are like me and you're
0:28
always looking for a a sling bag that
0:32
you can use for EDC, but also use for
0:34
other things like carrying camera
0:36
equipment,
0:37
uh you know, going on hikes, uh just
0:41
something that's more versatile. There's
0:42
not a lot of stuff on the market, at
0:44
least I haven't seen. It seems like
0:45
everything is very dedicated. So you
0:47
have sling packs that, you know, are
0:50
more geared towards concealed carry. You
0:53
have sling bags that are dedicated
0:55
camera bags that are of course coming
0:56
from companies that make, you know,
0:58
camera bags. Um, so when Tactical Geek
1:02
came out with this sling pack, which is
1:04
basically kind of an upgrade to their
1:07
classic L3 sling pack that I think a lot
1:10
of people have seen. Lots of information
1:12
on social media out there on that sling
1:14
pack. And I have one. I'm going to show
1:16
you a comparison between the two. What
1:19
they've done is they've taken that L3
1:21
design, um, which is a great design for
1:24
a sling pack, and they've actually
1:25
expanded it and added a removable
1:28
insert. So, now you can actually use
1:30
camera gear in this pack. If you look at
1:33
this bag, it's really an amazing pack.
1:35
You've got uh a bungee system that is
1:38
removable on the bottom that can
1:40
actually carry a small tripod. Um, this
1:43
particular model is an Xpack material,
1:45
so it's very waterresistant, almost
1:48
waterproof. Uh, has very nice zippers
1:52
that are also water resistant. And then
1:56
the big feature, of course, is the
1:58
removable
2:03
photo insert that comes out and that
2:06
Velcros inside the pack.
2:08
You also have the addition of a carry
2:10
handle. We have a magnetic hidden phone
2:14
pocket here in the back as well as
2:17
another zipper pocket to put items close
2:20
to your to your body that are kind of
2:22
more concealed. And then this Molly
2:24
panel if you want to add an additional
2:25
pouch and a very upgraded padded
2:29
shoulder strap with a cross body strap.
2:32
And that's super important with sling
2:33
packs because sling packs get so heavy
2:36
and uncomfortable if you don't have that
2:38
cross body strap. So, let's take a
2:40
little deeper dive into this bag and let
2:42
me show you what exactly is inside and
2:45
what these features are. So, on the
2:47
bottom, we've got this bungee system
2:50
that you can uncip and actually put
2:56
a small tripod.
2:59
Now, if you don't want to have this
3:02
bungee system on here, if this is in the
3:03
way, this actually has a pocket
3:08
that you can tuck
3:11
the bungee cords into.
3:17
And now they're out of the way. You
3:19
could also, if you really just want to
3:21
remove them totally,
3:23
they just loosen like this. They're
3:25
looped through
3:28
a retaining loop of cord right there and
3:31
then that thing will come completely
3:32
off. So, you have several options. You
3:35
don't have to have this on the bottom.
3:37
Now, what I like about this retention
3:38
system is that um you know, for a camera
3:42
bag, it's perfect because I can carry a
3:44
small tripod, but if I'm in an adventure
3:48
uh you know, hiking touristy kind of um
3:52
situation, I can actually strap a water
3:55
bottle or even a grail water filter
3:57
bottle to the bottom of this and carry
4:00
that with me and it's easily accessible
4:01
on the bottom.
4:04
And then it just hooks on these little
4:05
loops right here.
4:10
And then you can tighten them just by
4:11
pulling.
4:14
On the outside of the bag, we have a
4:16
Velcro field that actually has laser cut
4:18
Molly uh in here. So, if you wanted to
4:22
add another pouch, you possibly could.
4:24
You also have these Molly straps running
4:26
this way. So, you could put a pouch that
4:28
way. Here I've just got a plastic
4:30
carabiner attached to mine so I can hang
4:33
off gloves or keys or whatever.
4:36
Um, then we have a very large slip
4:41
pocket that runs the full length of the
4:43
bag on the front.
4:46
And as you can tell, it's got that nice
4:49
um water resistant
4:52
zipper. Um, I don't like to call these
4:54
waterproof because I never trust them to
4:56
be 100% waterproof, but they are very
4:58
water resistant. They do a good job of
5:00
keeping the elements out. And that's one
5:02
reason why I picked the Xpack material
5:04
because I knew I would be using this um
5:07
on hikes out in the woods, going camping
5:09
to carry my camera gear and other
5:12
essentials. And I wanted something that
5:13
was very waterresistant. And Xpack, if
5:16
you're not familiar with it, is a very
5:18
water resistant material.
5:21
The back of the bag has several
5:23
attachment points. Now, these are really
5:26
interesting because
5:28
what you're able to do is you're able to
5:30
remove these
5:37
by pushing a button and then sliding
5:39
this tab out. And now you can
5:42
reconfigure the strap. So, if you want
5:44
to carry it left uh side, right side, if
5:47
you want to carry this bag as a waist
5:49
bag, you can. It can be turned into a
5:51
very large fanny pack. Um I've even seen
5:54
where some people are moving some of
5:57
these around and making this almost into
5:59
like a chest pack. I haven't done that
6:01
configuration yet, so I'm not going to
6:03
show that. But I love that, you know,
6:06
you're not locked into one uh method of
6:09
carry. And if you want to remove the
6:11
straps totally for travel and just stick
6:13
this bag inside of another pack, well,
6:15
you can do that, too. So, gives you a
6:17
lot of options. The other cool feature
6:19
is that they have this little hidden
6:21
pocket in the back that is perfect for
6:24
your phone. Fits right in there. Very
6:28
concealable.
6:29
Pull that out.
6:32
And then we have another fulllength
6:34
pocket.
6:38
There is slight padding to the back and
6:40
of course like I said before that we
6:42
have this Molly grid of of webbing so
6:45
you can attach pouches.
6:47
Inside the bag is the removable divider.
6:54
I'm going to pull this out for you so
6:56
you can see this thing cuz it's very
6:58
unusual.
7:06
So this is how the divider comes to you.
7:08
It ships this way. And then what you do
7:10
is you fold it up and you push
7:16
these internal dividers out. And then
7:18
that creates two pockets. What this
7:22
allows you to do is is to customize the
7:24
interior of the bag. So let's say you're
7:26
running a full-size camera with a lens.
7:30
Well, you can push one of these down and
7:32
now put that camera body here with the
7:34
lens facing that way and then have an
7:37
additional lens here. So, it gives you
7:39
several options if you're looking to
7:41
organize smaller gear and you're not
7:43
running a big camera like me. I I'm
7:46
typically running action cameras,
7:48
phones, and uh different microphone
7:51
systems.
7:53
I prefer it this way because this gives
7:55
me more options for organizing my gear.
7:57
Another feature that comes with this
7:59
organizer, there is a removable lid that
8:02
goes over this and I'll show you that
8:04
here in a little bit. U but that can be
8:07
put on top of this and that actually
8:08
gives you more protection and allows you
8:11
to uh keep the gear from shifting around
8:14
inside the bag. If you're really doing,
8:16
you know, some heavy duty activity and
8:18
you don't want stuff moving around, you
8:20
can put that additional protection on
8:22
top. Um, I leave it off mine because I
8:25
want to be able to access my camera
8:26
equipment quickly
8:46
magnetic.
8:49
So that's the additional cover.
8:52
Interior of the bag is nice bright
8:54
orange material. The back panel is a
8:57
fuzzy um soft material that allows you
9:00
to put velcrobacked organizers. And the
9:04
organizer that they provide, this camera
9:06
organizer, which comes with the bag, by
9:08
the way, um this velcros in so it's very
9:11
secure, doesn't move around, and it's
9:13
not going to fall out. basically the
9:15
front of the bag. You have three elastic
9:19
organizer pockets. So, this is a great
9:22
place to put additional items.
9:26
There's my microphone system that fits
9:28
in there pretty well. That's pretty
9:29
thick. Here's an iPhone 16.
9:33
Fits in there perfectly. You can tell
9:38
reading glasses.
9:41
So, more opportunity to organize your
9:43
gear. What I like about this is it's not
9:45
overly organized. Uh there's not so many
9:48
slots and and webbing that I'm locked
9:52
into using them. I can kind of organize
9:55
this the way I want to and not really
9:58
worry about all having all that extra
10:00
material that a lot of other bags um
10:04
utilize.
10:05
So there's the interior of the bag. Now,
10:07
I think one question that I know a lot
10:08
of guys will have, especially people who
10:10
watch my channel, uh, can you do um, a
10:14
pistol inside this bag? And can this be
10:17
a concealed carry bag? Um, you could
10:19
probably do it. I mean, this is a Velcro
10:22
backed um, liner, so you could put a
10:24
holster in here. Uh, I think the issue
10:26
is that the bag does not open all the
10:28
way to the bottom. It only goes about
10:31
3/4 of the way, so access may be a
10:34
little difficult. Now, transporting a
10:37
pistol, sure, you could do that. Um,
10:39
but, you know, for quick draw, I don't
10:41
know if that's really feasible, and it's
10:43
not something that I would do. That's
10:44
not why I bought this bag.
10:54
So, on top is the L3 Pro and on the
10:57
bottom is the L3 regular.
11:00
And you can see there's a big difference
11:02
in size.
11:04
The L3 Pro is a little bit longer,
11:09
but it's definitely much deeper in
11:12
comparison.
11:14
And then the L3, the standard one,
11:18
has a single strap. It doesn't have the
11:21
cross body strap. And the pad is not as
11:25
long and as thick as the L3 Pro. So,
11:29
here I have the bag to the front
11:33
kind of off to my side for quick access.
12:04
Now I have it onto the back. So it's
12:06
kind of sitting on my lower back and
12:09
I've got the cross body strap on. So you
12:13
can see that
12:15
right here.
12:17
So, the cross body strap really is going
12:20
to help with the bag from shifting and
12:22
swaying as you're walking and you're
12:25
doing activities.
12:27
And of course, the big thing
12:31
with this pack is the shoulder strap.
12:34
The shoulder strap
12:37
is very well padded and it's long. You
12:41
can see it goes all the way over my
12:43
shoulder and up to the front. So, if you
12:45
have a long torso or a big torso, this
12:49
is going to fit really well. It's very
12:52
comfortable. Now, I don't have this
12:54
thing super loaded down with gear. Um,
12:56
if I was carrying a a DSLR or mirrorless
12:59
camera with some lenses or a water
13:01
bottle, this would be considerably
13:03
heavier. For what I have in here now,
13:06
it's perfect.
13:08
I don't have any issues. Very
13:11
comfortable.
13:41
Flip it around. I can get to all my
13:43
stuff pretty easily. Can close this up.
13:47
Got that secret phone pocket
13:50
so I can get to my phone quickly.
13:59
Got the big slip pocket in the back. So
14:01
that's perfect for guides, maps, um you
14:05
know, bus schedules, kind of whatever
14:07
you need it for, tickets.
14:10
um
14:12
trail guides, field guides.
14:16
Flip it around to the back,
14:21
use the cross body strap,
14:25
and now I've got a very comfortable
14:28
hiking pack.
14:30
I can walk with this thing all day long
14:32
in comfort, not have any issues.
14:36
It's going to be able to carry my gear.
14:47
And the awesome thing is I'm not locked
14:49
into one type of bag and I'm not taking
14:53
an existing bag and trying to, you know,
14:56
fix it or add stuff to it to make it
14:58
something that it's not. This thing um
15:01
has enough flexibility that I can do
15:04
whatever I want with it. um urban
15:07
trails, wilderness, camping, hiking,
15:11
EDC, camera gear, whatever you want to
15:14
imagine and whatever you want to do, you
15:17
can do it this bag. And I'm really happy
15:19
that I got this thing. This is awesome.
15:20
It's what I've been looking for for a
15:22
very long time.
