As someone who is a minimalist and wanted a one-bag kind of setup, this truly is that bag. The only downsides for me are the zipper pockets inside the bag are not very functional and the laptop compartment runs a bit deep for my liking. All in all, though, I am beyond happy with this purchase!
Was about to go for the 45L, but thankfully I spotted this option in time. Most of the time, the backpack is perfectly sized for my camera kit. Love having the option to extend it, when I might need a little bit of extra room.
This is what I manage to fit in the backpack:
A7RIII + 20mm 1.8 G A1 + 35mm 1,2 Art A1 + 70-200mm 2.8 GM Mavic 2 Pro + Smart controller 14" laptop
Having used backpacks for over 30 years in my nature photography endeavors, I prefer an ergonomic yet robust backpack to carry my Leica SL2S kit and drone. I opted for the 30L, along with the optional belt strap. The unit was clearly designed with a photographers view for full functionality and comfort in a visually - appealing design.
Had been using the 20L v1 Everyday Backpack and 10L v2 Sling up to this point, and I needed something juuuust a tad larger for work, and the travel bags were too large.
Lo and behold, PD releases the 30L travel and my word, this is absolutely fantastic for everyday use! Excellent size, build quality, and very thoughtful design (love the ability to stow away the shoulder straps!)!
This backpack really looks awesome. The sleek design and the build quality makes you want to pack and go on a trip as soon as you take it out of the bag. Every piece of hardware looks finished and is amazing. Love the feel and the setup of this bag.
