Good quality and feels ok with the camera as long as the bag is positioned correctly. The word hip is a bit misleading. The bag therefore does not feel good with the camera under the jacket, but must be placed on top of the jacket and its front pockets.
Size: Fujifilm XT-5 + 50-140mm lens fit comfortably inside. There is no room for a spare lens with this combination.
The product is well made. Inside goes my xt4 with the tamron 17-70 2.8 mounted and a very small flash (ef-x8). Very convenient to have on the strap. Always hands free. If they dared a little more, maybe 8 or 9 litres, it wouldn't have been bad. Let's be very precise. Good product though.

As this is the only (?) Dedicated camera waist bag for cycling use, you could give it a top rating. Most things are good and well thought out, but since I already have another Evoc waist bag, I can not help but be a little disappointed with some details that have been removed for no reasonable reason.
First, such a large bag should have the same wide waistband as the smaller bag. Here if anything there is a need. It fits quite comfortably anyway, but a wider one is of course better.
Secondly, there is no safety cord for keys in the side compartment as on the smaller model. As if you suddenly do not need keys with you just because you have a camera?
There are no separate compartments in the bag itself. You must therefore stow your other stuff with the help of the included insert walls. However, I did not find a combination that suited me but had to pick out side walls from other bags I have (usually the same type of Velcro fastener).
On one side there is a pocket for a bottle, but not on the other side. Why? It is on the smaller. In addition, the two straps that pinch the bag are placed tighter _outside_ the bottle pocket, so that the bottle is also pinched if you want the bag to fit better. No good solution.
The bag is good and reasonably priced, but there are a number of possibilities for improvement that can hopefully come in an updated version. Right now there are no alternatives, so I had bought the same again. Being able to take the system camera with you during messy trail cycling is very much worth it.

Very satisfied - the bag is where it should be, holds an MFT camera and some lenses + water fake + tripod or something else that is fastened under the bag. The bag has rain protection.
The strap is easy to adjust and the bag also has "venti-flaps" which are easy to tighten as well (they make a difference when the bag is a little heavier). You can quickly access the camera by lightening the strap a bit and taking out the bag on the stomach.
Fully loaded, you may not run with the bag because it bounces a little - but hiking goes well. Cycling should work then as well. It works easily to run with the bag.
Pulls off a star due to the strap - Evoc hip pac pro is not a camera bag, but it has a better strap. Had I been able to try both bags in my hometown, it might have been PRO. But now it was the camera and lens that would be packed and protected on bike, hiking and skiing trips. For these purposes, the bag should become popular.
