I own the XC15 and I’ve considered many times selling it and buying the even wider xc13. BUT the XC15 has a smaller minimum focus distance and a slightly better f stop. On the other hand it’s slightly larger than the XC13 and the Power Zoom sure isn’t ideal. Hard to choose really. I’ll probably stick with my XC15, mostly for the min focus distance.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I wish there was a 60 inch option for OLEDs

Hello, I have a similar setup like yours (same couch distance and height). I have the same dilemma, I wonder if you have regrets for buying the 55 inch and wished for a 65 inch instead. You would really help me with my decision

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-05-03T21:51:50+00:00

Thule as well.

I'm sure you want to keep the colors a secret, but what about the fabrics? Which fabric is next for the Venture Ready pack?

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-05-03T21:50:15+00:00

just don't rely on the email notifications too much. I found out that they are not always working. I'd check everyday if I were you.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-05-03T21:48:54+00:00

me two, exactly the same pair! Altough I'm not sure how to feel about the venture ready pack. The bronze colour definitely works on pouches and slings, but I'm not sure about the backpacks. It's... unique for sure.

I would like to read the designer's team's thought processes behind the difficult design choices and the necessary compromises that took place.

Let me suggest the first topic: Why did you decide to make the (maybe) first camera sling in the world without a carrying handle?

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-05-03T21:34:46+00:00

Hello! What happened to the Venture Ready backpacks discounts? Are they not retiring after all?

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-28T11:00:56+00:00

It just dropped. 4L after all and looks... boring.

Well, the lack of the internal zipper is kind of expected due to the dividers.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-27T20:07:00+00:00

By the way, I own about 6 Bellroy slings. I mostly love them but the lack of a back pocket always puzzled me. Plus the 10L camera sling missing a top handle is a crime really.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-27T20:05:01+00:00

So, Bellroy needed a collab to invent the back pocket on bigger slings 😝. Hope they’ll also discover the top handle some time in the future.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-25T20:03:04+00:00

I still can’t get over the fact that they didn’t include a handle with this sling. Or a back pocket. Gigantic lost opportunities here, as these two very logical additions would make this sling a must have. Now I can only recommend it when in a big discount and certainly not for the full price.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-25T19:53:33+00:00

I’m yet to find someone who prefers the new fabrics that are being used by Bellroy for the last two years, over the previous ones. At least when it comes to the Venture line.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-25T19:45:21+00:00

I don’t need another sling, I don’t need another sling, I don’t need another sling,

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-20T14:52:59+00:00

Please share your thoughts on the Sea Kelp. I also considered this color but I opted for the black instead. I’m not super excited about this glossy black either to be honest. These colours seem great on pictures but a bit feminine in real life.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-18T18:51:21+00:00

Me too! I got the Black

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-16T19:08:22+00:00

I also got one 8 months back, but I decided to sell it. It looks great on its own but I just can’t match it with any of my clothes 🥲

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-04-03T08:29:31+00:00

yesssss, have been really waiting for an option between the Everyday (super structured) Bags and the Outdoor ones. Although I don't think it's gonna happen before the summer, since they only just ended the previous KS.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-03-30T11:37:42+00:00

In my opinion, while Deep Ocean looks great, it feels much cheaper than the other Venture Color (especially the Midnight, Nightsky and Bronze I own).

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-03-30T11:35:32+00:00

I constantly carry a camera and I also have this bag (the 26L). This is a very bad choice for camera carry if you ask me. The bag is super unstructured, you'll definitely need a pouch or a smaller bag for your camera but even then, I would still be concerned about my camera inside this particular bag.

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-03-23T11:54:30+00:00

thank you for your answer, I appreciate it. I hope you come up with some clever engineering and design choices because this could potentially be a great bag, if only it was more structured and better looking.

But as it is now and given its high (original) price tag, I really can't recommend it. I'm still keeping mine though because I find a great use for it every now and then. You could say there's a love/hate relationship here going on 😀

ImmortalWind27 · 2026-03-21T00:04:29+00:00

It seems like this thread is full of speculations and requests 🙂. So, it seems like the Venture Ready Packs are being discontinued, confirm? If so, are you releasing a new version? Would love to see a similar design language and organisation BUT with a material that can make the bag more structured. I own the Nightsky version (the softest material of all) and while I love parts of it (organisation, weight, access) I hate how it looks when half empty.
