Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Overview

From Manufacturer

This black Urban Access 8 Sling Bag from Think Tank is a compact camera bag that can accommodate a mirrorless camera body with two or three lenses. Within the main compartment, five padded adjustable dividers can be configured according to the specific camera equipment being carried. To help maximize comfort, the shoulder strap can be shifted for wear over the right or left shoulder during extended use. Designed to fit snugly against the body, zippered panels on both sides of the bag allow it to be rotated from your back to front for easy reach into the main compartment, regardless if the sling bag is worn over the left or right shoulder. For either configuration, the top-facing zippered panel provides access to the main compartment with a 180° upward opening.

Above each of the main compartment zippered panels are additional zippered panels with organizer pockets that provide space for frequently used camera accessories such as batteries or memory cards. When the Urban Access 8 Sling Bag is worn, its dedicated compartment for a 8" tablet computer rests directly behind the shoulders, followed by the main compartment, and a front-facing storage pocket with a flap that is secured with a side-release buckle. Like the main compartment, the tablet computer compartment's zippered opening is accessible when the sling bag is rotated from back to front.

In addition to being worn across the body, the Urban Access 8 Sling Bag can be carried using its built-in top handle. For an enhanced fit, a removable waist belt is included. When used with the shoulder strap, the waist belt helps to prevent the sling bag from unintentionally shifting around the wearer such as when traveling over rough or uneven terrain.

Featuring durable nylon construction, the Urban Access 8 Sling Bag is built to be weather resistant and includes a seam-sealed cover for use under heavy rain. A front panel compression strap can also be deployed, allowing a larger item such as a tripod or monopod to be fastened against the Urban Access 8 Sling Bag while it is tucked into the front-facing pocket.

Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Reviews

Good bag, right size

By Mike
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-05

I bought this bag for my Leica Q3 and I like very much. It's small but carries all I need for this kit. I specifically like that you can adjust the sling for either shoulder. I also like that it looks inconspicuous and not like a camera bag. I have dozens of camera and gear bags made by Think Tank and the quality of the materials and craftsmanship is always great.

Difficult zippers

By Costas
Rated 3 out of 5

I like the size and design of the bag, just what i was looking for when I don't need to bring out a lot of equipment. my biggest beef with the bag is the zippers, which is funny since one of the first tags on the bag is that they use xxy zippers. They are difficult to open and close, it seems they were overly aggressive with their glue and heat method. Hopefully after some use they will free up a bit. Right now if i need to access my camera quickly to get a shot, well it's not going to happen.

How comfortable is it to wear? Can I strap a tripod underneath it like peak design 6l does? I heard the smaller dividers don't really work well (if you stack 2 lenses but then take 1 out it can't hold the one
Asked by: Peter
Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Sling Bag is outstanding. The shoulder strap is nicely padded so you can carry your equipment comfortably. You can switch your shoulder strap from left to right to accommodate the strap depending on your preference. Also, you have access to your equipment through either side. The front pocket can serve to storage your tripod and an additional belt strap is included with the bag to secure your tripod. The internal dividers are customizable and strong enough to hold the remaining equipment in place while the rest of your gears are in use.

Can this bag hold a Sony 70-200GM unattached ...

Can this bag hold a Sony 70-200GM unattached vertically (in one of the pockets, therefore, not the length of the bag)?
Asked by: Zexun
Unfortunately, no, the pockets on the outside of the Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Sling Bag (Black) would not be deep or wide enough to hold the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens unattached, nor would they be able to zip up to protect the lens during transport/storage.

Can the Urban Access 8 hold a Leica SL with the 24-90 zoom attached? Will it also hold that combo and a Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art lens? How about all of that and a 10.2" iPad?
Asked by: Len
Yes, the Leica SL (Typ 601) Mirrorless Digital Camera with an attached Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. Lens and a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Leica L would fit inside the Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Sling Bag (Black) listed above. However, the Think Tank Photo Urban Access 8 Sling Bag has a laptop/tablet compartment that is designed to fit an 8-inch tablet with dimensions of (8.5 x 6.5 x 0.8" / 21.5 x 16.5 x 2 cm). It may not fit a 10.2-inch tablet.

Would there be any room in this bag that will fit a 12.9 IPad Pro anywhere?
Asked by: Robert
I don't think there is any chance. I ordered the Sling 8 and it was too small for my equipment. I returned it for the Sling 10, which worked. Neither bag is terribly large. The back of the 10 has an area that might fit something about 7"x12", so maybe a smaller iPad. I use my Sling 10 with a mirrorless camera and two primes.
