Closer

The strap has just the right amount of give, so it doesn’t dig into my shoulder even after a few hours walking around Darwin. I’ve already used it on two trips and it holds my gear steady without that bulky feeling I used to put up with.

Got it for my frequent outback flights and honestly the window seat view is the whole point now—this thing slides into my carry-on without the usual wrestling match, and the compact build means I can actually pull it out mid-flight without elbowing my seatmate.

The extra bulk I used to haul through security is gone, and that alone is worth it. The compact profile fits way easier under the seat, so I can keep my camera out and ready without the constant side-eye from the flight crew.
