For the last month, I’ve been field-testing the NIID FINO 5 (Fino V) sling bag. While I initially loved the concept of a "concealed carry" style bag that fits under a jacket, the reality of daily use has been a bit of a rollercoaster. In this video, I’m walking you through my full gear loadout and explaining why I’ve decided to move back to my trusty Able Carry Core Sling. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 January 2026 EDC Intro 01:08 Why I'm switching back to Able Carry 01:34 The Good: Capacity & Comfort 02:50 The Big Problem: Shoulder Strap Length 04:05 Favorite Feature: The Magnetic Buckle 05:41 The Expandable "Quick Access" Slot 06:49 Zipper Placement: Security vs. Usability 09:13 Front Pocket & Hand Sanitizer 09:31 The "Rain Gutter" Design Flaw 10:24 Back Security Pocket & Organization 11:15 Tech Loadout: Samsung Fold 5 & Retro Gaming 12:06 DJI Pocket 3 & Vlogging Gear 12:31 The Ultimate Powerbank (INIU P63) 13:53 Flashlight & Multi-tool 14:22 Final Verdict: Perfect for Travel? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FULL DISCLOSURE: The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise. ETHICS STATEMENT https://youtu.be/dbtSEj2qT1c HOW I REVIEW: As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW: A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively. AFFILIATE LINKS: No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.
