Clever Supply released a new Camera Sling v2.0 camera bag

By PR admin | Published: February 7, 2026

After a successful Kickstarter project in 2023, Clever Supply is back with a new version of the same bag:

The new Camera Sling v2.0 is the next iteration of the bag originally launched for photographers who wanted to carry light, move freely, and keep their camera close at all times. The new v2.0 retains the same compact 6L size, but with refined details based on real-world use and photographer feedback over the past couple of years. Updates include improved internal organization, an external accessory pouch, bottom cinch straps for extra carry, a hidden AirTag pocket, and a longer, pivoting shoulder strap.
