If you are like me you have been searching for the ultimate work/photography travel bag your whole life., I have a dozen bags in the attic that have failed the test. Just received the Peak Design bag for Christmas, haven't taken a trip yet (multiple scheduled in the next couple of months) but the PD travel bag sure looks like it will meet the test. Love the ability to just drop in a camera cube and I'm ready to roll, will save me ton's of packing time. My fingers are crossed
I have been traveling as a photographer for over ten years and have thrashed many camera bags. So far this is the most functional bag I have used! I don't have any doubts it will hold up to my abuse to it. Thanks Peak for the legit gear!
I Love this travel backpack! Very well designed, feels great and it protects all my gear. I use it as an every day carry as well as a travel because of its versatility! Highly recommend!
Beautiful and well constructed backpack. The magnetic features improve the feel and quality, as well as the accessibility of the pockets. The only qualm I have is that some of the zippers are tough to zip and unzip but I think this is a result of the weather proofing, so a fair trade to make.
Overall the bag is constructively built with durability, it has much access to the internal of the bag and the camera cube is well constructed as well. Having the bag on the body for more than 8 hours and with 2 camera, lens and other items, it can be a strain to the back, as the overall bag is not light even without any items. The adjustable shoulder strap seems to slip during long hours of wearing it on the body and have to adjust it when the shoulders feel the strain.
Perfect for a single bag working solution for traveling photographers

I purchased the 45L travel bag for a recent photography trip to Sedona, AZ, USA, along with a small camera cube, a small and medium packing cube, the tech pouch, and the toiletry kit. I packed 10 days worth of clothing, a drone (DJI mavic mini), camera body and 24-70 lens, the triple battery charger for the drone, and completely stuffed essentially every item to the brim. I can't sing the praises of this bag enough. While the tutorials will indicate that you may not be able to fit all of what I listed above, let me assure you: you can. I also was able to pack a gorilla pod on the side, a rain jacket and tablet in the laptop sleeve, and peaks camera cover and slide strap, amongst other things.
Sitting in the airport now, my total bag weight is 26.5 pounds, and it needed no additional expansion. Notably, no issues storing in an overhead bin. I am simply shocked at how much I was able to carry.
During the day, the pack is simply a blessing of convenience on long day shoots. The ability to whip out the hip supports while you are on the move, or conversely, stow them, is genius. When paired with the camera clip on my right shoulder, I felt totally secure hiking strenuous trails without fear for the camera knocking around or coming unsecured. The ability to just reach over to a shoulder and release the camera with the push of a button to capture is a stunningly useful piece of tech.
