Best Backpack Ever

Well thought out design that anticipates needs - Everyday Backpack Zip 20L (placement of straps, hooks, and camera inserts). Adjustments that realizes not everyone is built the same (straps, zippers that can access left/right/top). Quality construction (zippers, materials). Weight - this was critical for me and I have carried this with and without the tripod (yours) for hours without pain or strain. Independent of camera equipment, I can see myself using this for short trips or as the carryon for longer trips (whenever that happens). I should mention that I'm 71yo with a damaged abdominal wall which means I don't have much core strength and no safe way to build abdominal core strength. This backpack means I can continue to do what I love without added pain.
Once in while a company comes along and just gets it. Practical, well designed and perfected products. I own a lot of their stuff Peak Design never disappoints.
This is a great bag for a single body and the holy-trinity of lenses. It's small and compact but can take a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with ease. This is my go-to back for shooting, I'll only break our the travel backpack if I'm travelling or carrying more gear.
Incredible bag! No but really. I struggled for about 3 months trying to find the perfect bag for my drone and camera. Love the versatility of the adjustable pockets and the multiple zippers for ease of access. There is literally a pocket for anything and everything I need in this bag. Oh - and the key fob holder bungie thing is really handy too.
I recently purchased the Everyday Backpack Zip in Midnight Blue. I am so glad that I did! The bag is well-constructed, feels sturdy, and is beautiful. There are plenty of pockets and configurations that make this bag very versatile. I have no problem fitting my camera body, 3 lenses, headphones, a lightweight jacket, and... there's plenty of room for more. The blue color is classy and the leather accents a nice touch. I highly recommend these backpacks- they are definitely worth the price tag.
I purchased the 15L back in February when I was suppose to go to Italy in mid March. Well that trip didn't happen, but a bunch of little day trips did in 2020 and this bad boy came with me. Packing a Sony A7 body, 50 mm lens, GoPro7, batteries, accessories, tripod, and gimbal for the GoPro. Yes, that all PACKED into this bag! The chest strap really helped make it comfortable to carry it all throughout the day. Would I buy this again? Yes, I'd personally go a bit bigger now. However, I bought this size because I was going to be traveling throughout Italy over a couple of weeks. Do I recommend this bag? Yess!
I like my camera bags to be relatively small. I don't like to carry a lot of extra gear on me. Typically when I'm working, I have two cameras out and then an extra lens and a few smaller gear items in a bag. This backpack is perfect for how I work and what I like to carry. Love the smart design, making great use of the small space. Easy to squish a jacket inside, slip a water bottle or travel coffee mug in the side, even strap an extra pair of sneakers to the outside. Really love this bag and very quickly retired another brand that I had been using for a long time. Simple, clean, and a really effective use of space.
