The award-winning fashion accessory brand HEX recently launched a product in this category that is minimalist and useful. The Mini DSLR Sling Bag is designed with a focus on storing various [photography essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/db-ramverk-pro-backpack) in a safe and secure way. To increase protection, HEX placed EVA padding in its product and also included "[padded, adjustable, and fold-away dividers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius)" that will allow photographers to organize their gear in an accessible manner. In addition to this, the DSLR sling bag also boasts some special pockets — one's that will house SD cards or mini tripod straps.
