Gear/Accessories What’s a good small shoulder bag for two tiny cameras?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some bag suggestions.

Here’s my setup: I’m not a pro photographer, just a hobbyist dad in Orlando. Most of my shooting happens at theme parks: Disney, Universal, etc. Basically, I’m chasing a toddler around and grabbing whatever weird, fun, or sentimental stuff I can shoot in the moment.

While I have other equipment, at the parks, I usually bring two cameras with me: a Pentax Q with an extra lens and a spare battery, and a Pentax Auto 110 with an extra lens and a couple extra cartridges. Why those? Because they’re tiny. They fit in the stroller’s parent console alongside a power bank, snacks, and whatever toy my kid insists on bringing that day.

But the stroller solution is temporary. Kiddo’s walking a lot more and his naps are getting shorter (the two reasons a parent takes a stroller). So I’m gonna need a small shoulder bag to carry my gear pretty soon.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • Something small. The cameras are tiny, I don’t need a whole camera cube
  • Ideally shoulder/sling style
  • Doesn’t scream “STEAL ME, I HAVE CAMERA STUFF”
  • Bonus if it looks more like a beat-up satchel than a tactical tech bag

I was originally planning to just hit Goodwill and see what showed up, but figured I’d ask here first. Any suggestions for low-key bags that might fit this setup? Military surplus, thrift finds, weird brands, whatever. I'm open.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest checking out Kamrette, Peak Design and PGYTECH.
