MindShift Gear PhotoCross 13 Overview

The PhotoCross 13 Sling Bag from MindShift Gear keeps your camera gear protected during transport and storage. It has a generous 11L capacity to accommodate your DSLR and four lenses up to 70-200mm f/2.8 plus accessories.

Designed to fit snugly against the body, the PhotoCross 13 can be rotated from one's back to front for easy reach to its camera compartment. Access the camera compartment through the top-facing zippered panel with 180° upward opening. Along the inside of that panel are two zippered, mesh organizational pockets which can be used to store and organize camera batteries, memory cards, or small electronics. Within the camera compartment and towards the side of the sling bag that rests against the wearer is a slip pocket with room for a 13" laptop computer, while four adjustable and removable dividers allow that compartment's space to be configured according to the specific camera equipment placed inside.

Also accessible when the PhotoCross 13 is rotated from back to front, is a zippered pocket located in between the camera compartment and the sling bag's front panel which faces away from the wearer. This pocket can be used as a convenient space for books, notepads, snacks, or packable clothing; and its zipper, like the camera compartment's zipper, includes a large, T-shaped pull. When those zippers are both in the closed position, their pulls are adjacent and can be looped together, further securing the contents of the entire sling bag.

In addition to being worn across the body, the PhotoCross 13 can be carried using its built-in top handle as well as its built-in side handle. This sling bag's adjustable, padded shoulder strap rests on the wearer's left shoulder, extends down the torso, and connects to a stability wing that rests over the wearer's right hip. The stability wing helps to more comfortably distribute weight, and like the shoulder strap along with sling bag's outside rear surface, features a resilient, breathable 3D mesh padding. The padding cushions the wearer, and its elevated structure optimizes air circulation, minimizing perspiration in warm and hot environments.

For an enhanced fit, a tuck-away waist belt is included. When used with the shoulder strap and stability wing, the waist belt helps to form a three-point harness that prevents the sling bag from unintentionally shifting around the wearer such as when traveling over rough or very uneven terrain. Along the PhotoCross 13 opposite its side handle is a large, stretchable pocket that can hold a 32oz water bottle, which can be secured using the cord lock on the pocket's rim.

Featuring a durable nylon and polyester construction, the PhotoCross 13 is built to be weather resistant and includes a seam-sealed cover for use under heavy rain. Six gear loops along the surface of the sling bag allow for extra items to be clipped or tied to the PhotoCross 13. One pair of gear loops is located above the stretchable side pocket, and two pairs of gear loops parallel each other on both sides of the front panel along its top and bottom. Dual compression straps are provided and can be clipped onto the gear loops so they cross the front panel, allowing larger items such as a tripod, monopod, trekking pole, or folded apparel to be fastened against the PhotoCross 13. The stretchable side pocket can also be used to hold a tripod, monopod, or trekking pole; any of which can be secured under one of the included compression straps affixed to the gear loops positioned above the side pocket.

MindShift Gear PhotoCross 13 Reviews

Well-constructed and highly adjustable

By Eric
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-18

A quality small camera bag. I've only had it for a week, but the build-quality seems very high. There are lots of ways to adjust the interior space as well as the shoulder strap and other comfort adjustments. The interior is large enough for a body, two medium-sized lenses, and other odds and ends. There are plenty of pockets for smaller items. It is a well-thought-out camera bag. It is easy to spin the bag to the front of me and access all the interior spaces. I like this design much more than a traditional backpack camera bag. It also comes with a detachable rain cover that packs very small.

Can I fit a Sony A7Riii with a camera grip and the 70-200gm 2.8 (lens hook reversed)on the camera vertically into this bag? I also have the Sony 24-105 f4, and Sony 16-35 GM 2.8 that I want to carry in the bag. Currently I have the Thinktank Turnstyle 20 v1.0 and I can't do this with that bag.

Will this fit a Canon R6 (no battery grip) with attached Sigma 150-600?
Asked by: Tammy
Perhaps, but it would be tight. You would have to place the body with the rear down exposing the LCD to potential impacts. I purchase mine for other applications. My suggestion is the Thinktank DIGITAL HOLSTER 150. It is less expensive, lens is down, it will accommodated any DSLR body, gripped or not and you can include an attached extender. A much better solution.

Although the Think Tank PhotoCross 13 Sling Bag can hold a Nikon Z6 with a 24-70mm or 24-120mm lens, it cannot accommodate a Nikon Z 100-400mm lens.

Bag strap worn over left shoulder. What if camera slung around neck to hang down right side by waist/hip? Doable? Comfort?
Asked by: John
When the MindShift Gear PhotoCross 13 Sling Bag (Carbon Gray) is worn over the left shoulder, if you use a camera slung around the neck to hang down right side by the waist/hip, it's doable. However, we find using a camera sling strap to be more comfortable, and it takes the weight off your neck.
