TLDR:
Pros:
- very study materials (just like their everyday v2 line)
- keeps shape
- stronger Velcro than v1
Cons:
- can’t really use for photography/video uses
- cannot fit a small lens since there’s a much smaller pouch than v1
- if using for everyday carry, the smaller pouches inside the zip meant for SD cards and much smaller items are pretty useless
- the sides aren’t as flexible as v1 so when the interior full, it won’t stretch to fit your items well
- peak design anchor link holes were removed and I much prefer that than hooking the links into the v2 attachments. I like to use my PD strap to use this as EDC
- very tight pack when my load is just: small charger, two cables, nose spray and eye drop, utility tool, keyless car key, minimalist wallet. These already pack it to the brim and I can’t even imagine putting in a small lens like my 55 1.8 Zeiss.

If you own the field pouch v1 and you’re going to use it for photography/video, stick with it. I have the first version and I like the pockets in it much better than the smaller pockets on the v2. I find no use for the small pockets inside the zip pouch area when using it as a daily carry. One thing that I feel that was improved though was the sturdiness of it keeping the pouch in shape and the Velcro compared to v1. However, it also reduces the flexibility of the pouch making it less things you can pack. I wish they kept the larger pockets from v1 because you definitely cannot fit any lens inside or bigger items at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What’s a V2 for, except to fix a V1

The Field Pouch V2 fixes every one of the problems of the Field Pouch V1, which itself had undergone several unannounced modifications over its production history. I gave my first Field Pouch away, primarily because the internal pocket arrangement of the V1 seemed to me to have been made up on the fly while being sewn together in the factory. Seriously. The V2 is altogether perfect.

Comparing the new Field Pouch V2 with the old V!. I miss all the pockets on the inside of the pouch. With fewer pockets I find it harder to sort smaller things like I did in V1. I do like the outside material, but I don't like the changes to the inside at all.

This product is so ideal, I purchased two. It is well made, the size is perfect for a small mirrorless camera.

I purchased this pouch essentially as a "man purse" to hold essentials (passport, glasses case, e-reader, earbuds, etc) in situations when my messenger bag is just too big. I just returned from a trip to Europe and the field pouch lived up to its promise.
A couple of improvement suggestions: It would be nice to have a key clip (I attached an S-biner to the outside instead) and perhaps an additional zippered compartment as protection against pickpockets.

the strap keep popping off. it would been great is it use those disk like the camera strap. the Verco on the bag side need to be wide if the flap is close at a angle the verco stop working.
