Matti Haapoja I’m using a Tumi. As a full time editor, their durability is top notch for holding two laptops + gear. Allows so much work to be done on the go 🙌
I uso no backpack, at the moment I just go out with two batteries, 1 camera and 1 lens. I’lI would love yo use one though and take some extra gear like a drone, tripod, gimbal and extra lenses. But I dont have a backpack that is able to protect my gear which is the real reason I dont use one. I just have a normal hiking backpack with a compartment for a 15inch laptop. But it seems that these backpacks do protect camera gear properly.

Shimoda X30 (19.7" H x 11.8" W x 6.3" D) vs Peter Nomatic (22" H x 13.5" W x 9" D).

Matti, I actually just purchased the the lowerpro 450AW and all I keep wondering is: will the nomatic cube fit in there? maybe will be a better combo for me.
I think the cube pack is a good idea with peters bag but yet again no one mentions the price of this bag, for the bag and the cube you will be spending $525 USD before tax and Matt you have an extra accessory in your set up. So that is $695 before tax in Canada, the full bag with everything will be $675 USD so $893 CAD, say what you will but that is a lot for a bag.

The peak design travel backpack is amazing ! You can really do everything the others do if you have the optional insert options ! Peter’s bag is very similar in the end.
Matti have you tried F-Stop and Atlas bags? They're more outdoor oriented camera bags but that also means they handle the weight better and saves your back. I'm now using an F-Stop Ajna, and love them.
I have the same Peak Design Travel bag with camera cube. Not the bag I would recommend for every day carry but it’s nice for weekend trips. About the cube issue though. You put the flap of it underneath the cube before securing the cube with the hooks. That way it doesn’t get in the way.
I had been using the Lowepro compu trekker aw for more than 10 years and now I’m thinking in a bag that potato jet recommend the ThinkTank photo urban accessories 15, what do you think about it?
Just a heads up, you are using the Peak Design 45L bag incorrectly. I personally own this bag and have used it for a few months now. The camera cubes can be fastened to the bag all along the sides which allows the cube door to be completely tucked under and out of sight. You can even see the fabric loops on the side in your video to which they can be fastened. You have it fastened to the bag at the base which is only for use if you don't want access to the side access door and want to turn the medium camera cube 45 degrees to give you some additional space in the top compartment. This is pretty misleading in your video. You also didn't mention that the top half of the bag can be compressed, slimming down the profile of the bag dramatically.
Wandrd 21L was perfect for me when I went to Japan for 10 days - carried my DSLR, 3 lenses, batteries, gimble, tripod, and still had space above the camera packing cube for clothes, carry-on amenity kit, over ear noise cancelling earphones, wallet, keys, passport, etc!
Depending on what you’re using it for, I couldn’t agree more. The PRVKE 21 has accompanied me across three continents and has been perfect. It’s feature set is ideal as a daily carry and for travel. It’s less perfect-though completely adequate-for day hiking. The new Shimoda Action X bags have a similar feature set and a far more comfortable harness for wilderness adventures.
Any recommendations for a bigger dude? I’m 6’4 260 and most camera bags look like I’m wearing a small back pack for a toddler in grade school. HELP! I’ve tried over the shoulder carrying bags and they hurt my neck after an hour of walking.
Good old streetwalker hardrive 2.0 from think tank. Holds what I need, 2 bigger bodies, few lenses, laptop, system flashes and all accessories. Not most beautiful bag. More like function over form but it is comfy and does what it supposed to do.
Good quality video. Most the items you recommended seem overly expensive. The best light for TH-cam is $800? Is that really your opinion or are you just recommending higher cost items because of that affiliate program?
Quick question How many time did u go up and down to your office to get the bagpack or did u bring a bunch of it down at one to make that video? Cause that seems very exhausting
@@charlesheinzphotography1637 wait, what's the price on the PM Nomatic? Someone said it's like 525 for just the bag and the cube. Protactic is like 250 at most.

F stop's backpacks are probably the best backpacks. Very modular and durable. Just high priced, but for carrying around thousands in equipment, worth the investment
I love my Peak Everyday 20L but I admit it wouldn't be great for a serious photographer. I travel a lot and the photography backpack I see people with the most is the Lowepro ProTactic.
FYI, you CAN fold the lid of the CIA Pro insert to stay underneath it in the Backpack Pro. That widest rib will be on the side, with the rest of the lid underneath the insert.
I use an Incase backpack. It doesn't look like a camera bag with it's sleek design which is great plus it fits my tripod on the inside instead of externally with straps.
New favourite bag has to be the Tenba Cooper 8. Fantastic bag. For anything bigger I’d go with the Lowepro 450 v2 or for more protective a Pelican Case 1510.
So all this backpack/bag talk got me thinking about something basic - the mechanics of when you're out shooting. Yes, sometimes we pack up a bag and travel from A to B, then unload it. But when you're out walking around shooting, how do all the little things work, partially with gear in the bag, but also things like lens changes, taking out then using then putting away a tripod, etc. I'd love a BTS video not of shooting, but all the times you and Matt stop, take something out of a bag, change a lens, pack up a tripod, etc. It sounds super basic, but it's something I've wondered - do "pros" change lenses a lot more often than I do? Do you throw down your backpack on the snow in the park or on the street, flip open the whole lid and such to get something out or to put it away while out shooting this kind of content? Maybe dull, but helpful for everyone else to see those basics and how to do it well/quickly.
The of travel bag is the best. You fold the flap under the cube before you clip it in. It's designed that way. But I do agree the camera cub needs to be thinner. Other than that I use this bag all the time.
Dope intro man! I'm so on the fence with Peter's bag. Love the features it has and that i can push in some clothes there as well... It's either that or the Lowepro 450AW II...
450 AWII works great, and notably in comparison to Peter's: it can easily accommodate a gripped camera. Peter's does not. Wish it had a bit extra space for additional clothes, but oh well. For that, I'm considering Shimoda Action.
I'm not sure how anyone "reviewing" bags can not know this or be bothered to notice it, unless of course they are going through a process to come to an obvious conclusion as has been stated in the comments many times (and its not an actual review). I'm disappointed if thats the case.
Not surprised at all to see Matti pick Peter McKinnon’s backpack as the winner. Brace yourself for all the minion reviews when this one goes into production.
Shimoda bags are incredible. I bought the Peter McKinnon bag and returned it. I love his battery holder though. I just wish I could find a bag that holds a laptop and a mirrorless and small lens. Just small, compact and tight. I don’t always need to bring multiple lenses, so if there was a small minimal compartment with a nice big laptop slot, and doesn’t look like a turtle shell, that would be legit.
I'm using the large blue from Ikea .... lightweight, you can carry alot in it, no zippers, velcro or magnet, and if it breaks you go to Ikea and get a new for free. A great cheap bag I use for basically anything but my camera gear, where I use the Bumblebee 230 from Manfrotto.
have you ever seen Tenba camera bags? They make gun and equipment bags for the military and took the technology into camera bags. Tenba AXis 20L perfect size. durable and ready for it all
From what I’ve seen, I love Peters new bag. I don’t love how long the wait will be. Give us the goods now, don’t make us wait! I get it, but it’s one of the things that’s a bummer about Kickstarter.
I'm gonna get Peter's Backpack because Not only can I use it as a Camera Backpack BUT...also as an Everyday Pack as well because when I go Traveling instead of 3 bags to carry all i need is just 2. This and my carry-on...AMAZING...AND Simple.
I just came back from work and on my way home i listened to the thirt episode of the Matti & Pete show. and i couldnt stop laughing about pete's struggle to get to see the finale of game of thrones, it was just so funny and i felt listening to it as i was there with you guys, it made my day thanks for that! And i would love to see more podcasts series in the future if possible because there so personal and funny to hear you guys talk about filmmakers stuff and other things that i can relate to really good❤ i've also sent this to Peter because i wanted to share it right niw with you guys both, oh by the way, this has nothing to do with the video but i hope you like this comment also😁✌🏼
I use my hexbrand bag for bigger shoots when I need more gear. I go to lately for run and gun shooting is my wandrd prvke 31. It’s perfect for what I need.
Your review of the PeakDesign Travel Backpack could have been much more complete, it's my daily driver and it has a lot of features that you didn't cover, such as : - The cube system that allows you to adapt the gear to clothing ratio. For instance, with a large camera cube you can fill up the entire bag with gear for a big shoot. On the contrary, with a small camera cube and medium packing cube you can have enough clothing for a week long vacation as well as a camera body with 2 or 3 lenses. - The front of the back has a few zipper pockets - It has both compression and expansion, meaning that it can compress from 35L to 30L for daily-ish use but also the front pocket expand for 45Ltotal, to pack more clothes for example - It features full back access, as well as side access on either sides, and even front access if you unzip the internal divider - Two water bottle pocket for water bottle + tripod carry or umbrella + tripod And a bunch more : laptop + tablet sleeve, tuck-away hip strap, sternum strap, smart ways to make the bag less pickpocketable, external carry, weather proofness, lifetime warranty... Furthermore, PeakDesign is part of 1%For The Planet and is launching a Carbon Neutral label. I know it takes time to learn about all of these features, but it's important to highlight that although it's a big backpack, it is also very feature rich to the same level of Pete's one.
Just got the 45l travel back and it's awesome so far! Got the medium cube for a7iii plus 3 lenses, powerbank and mini 2 drone setup. My Gimbal fits into the front pocket and the tripod goes to the side with a water bottle. That thing is amazing! And I love the materials, they seem really sturdy
I use a Tenba 32L tactical bag cuz none of the concerns you have with a bag are a concern for me. I need a massive bag that fits my gimbal, camera, a lens, all of my batteries/other camera stuff and maybe a stack of papers and a couple granola bars. I don't care much about the look and none of those cubey strolling around small travel bags are ever gonna be able to carry the 18 pounds of stuff that I need to stuff in my bag. Peter's bag is also filled with too many compartments for me to be able to fit the larger pieces in and doesn't look deep enough
I still use the lowepro 450 and it's been perfectly fine for my use, but the one thing that really bothers me about it is that it doesn't have a water bottle compartment, and I always need a water bottle with me.
I've been needing a new camera backpack for a while. My lowepro is 10 years old. Been through hell, including being submerged in the ocean in Florida. Still holding up though. My hiking backpack does not have padding for a camera. I've been looking for a while, for something to use daily. I just scored a brand new thinktank streetwalker (retail $170 to $300 USD - depending on seller). this was a great $10 thrift shop find. Oh, and one of the pockets had a subpar polarizing filter left in it.
I'm getting a pelican case, have gone through a few backpacks due to ripped zips and did the same on a shoot the other day. they don't last forever unfortunately
So there's also no way to lock the "Easy Access Pocket" (and Easy Steal Pocket) at all? I saw in their commercial on Kickstarter that you could add tiny locks, but how does it work? Noone on TH-cam seems to address this Security problem with this pricey bag...
I've been using and loving the Peak Design Everyday 30L backpack. It allows me to carry my work stuff as well as always have my camera on me. The Peak Design pouches also keep everything organized.
This video has convinced me what backpack to actually buy! The..... Peak Design Everyday Backpack for sure! I knew that was the one when he threw it out at about 2:50 in the video, LOL!!! Seriously, the McKinnon everyday backpack looks really good, but I don't want to wait for it. The current Mckinnon bag is just way too big!!!! PD Everyday is perfectly fine.
Yes ! Pete's backpack is amazing... BUT, no all of the process can be thanks to him, pretty sure there was a design team advising him and also giving him ideas, may be ! Thats how those projects work, as far as I know.
What backpack are you using right now? Also dont miss out on Peter's Kickstarter!
One i got from National Geographic.. It's ok

I have the same Peak Design Travel bag with camera cube. Not the bag I would recommend for every day carry but it’s nice for weekend trips. About the cube issue though. You put the flap of it underneath the cube before securing the cube with the hooks. That way it doesn’t get in the way.
Nice review but i was wondering if Peter's bag has the space to carry a tripod. is the side net big enough for a tripod?
Peter's bag getting the most attention? Would NEVER have guessed
Newmarket! Hungry brew hops! Cauliflower fritters!
I had been using the Lowepro compu trekker aw for more than 10 years and now I’m thinking in a bag that potato jet recommend the ThinkTank photo urban accessories 15, what do you think about it?
Just a heads up, you are using the Peak Design 45L bag incorrectly. I personally own this bag and have used it for a few months now. The camera cubes can be fastened to the bag all along the sides which allows the cube door to be completely tucked under and out of sight. You can even see the fabric loops on the side in your video to which they can be fastened. You have it fastened to the bag at the base which is only for use if you don't want access to the side access door and want to turn the medium camera cube 45 degrees to give you some additional space in the top compartment. This is pretty misleading in your video. You also didn't mention that the top half of the bag can be compressed, slimming down the profile of the bag dramatically.
I need a combo bag that fits me for fpv droning along with a sony a7s3, 2 lenses and a laptop. Any recommendation? :)
Wandrd 21L was perfect for me when I went to Japan for 10 days - carried my DSLR, 3 lenses, batteries, gimble, tripod, and still had space above the camera packing cube for clothes, carry-on amenity kit, over ear noise cancelling earphones, wallet, keys, passport, etc!
Got the 21 and now I got the duo. Perfect for everyday!
The amount of times I heard “DoucheBags” was funny.
AlexCTech whoever thought of the name is a pure comic genius 😂
@@nicherman6759 I don't know if I want the word douche bag on my back, you know? lol
What was your top view camera in this video? It looked extra crisp. Bmpcc6k?
The Wandrd Prvke 21 & 30 is hands down my favorite bag.
5Cents Media been looking at picking one up!
Depending on what you’re using it for, I couldn’t agree more. The PRVKE 21 has accompanied me across three continents and has been perfect. It’s feature set is ideal as a daily carry and for travel. It’s less perfect-though completely adequate-for day hiking. The new Shimoda Action X bags have a similar feature set and a far more comfortable harness for wilderness adventures.
Thanks Matti! watching your stuff keeps me plugging away at my own TH-cam channel
The intro wins it all!!
You pretty much coverd every thing thanks matti
but how many Marshmallows can you fit in the new PM bag?
Any recommendations for a bigger dude? I’m 6’4 260 and most camera bags look like I’m wearing a small back pack for a toddler in grade school. HELP!
I’ve tried over the shoulder carrying bags and they hurt my neck after an hour of walking.
Just bought a LOWEPRO PROTACTIC BP 450 AW II
yesterday. Looks like a Great Redesigned version of the 450 AW I.
Any thoughts on Atlas Camera back pack....? totally understand it’s in a deferent circle of shooting “outdoor projects” Love the video’s
Good old streetwalker hardrive 2.0 from think tank. Holds what I need, 2 bigger bodies, few lenses, laptop, system flashes and all accessories. Not most beautiful bag. More like function over form but it is comfy and does what it supposed to do.
Good quality video. Most the items you recommended seem overly expensive. The best light for TH-cam is $800? Is that really your opinion or are you just recommending higher cost items because of that affiliate program?
How's the strap, it seems to be my problem from all of these bags.
Quick question
How many time did u go up and down to your office to get the bagpack or did u bring a bunch of it down at one to make that video?
Cause that seems very exhausting
Me just getting the protactic bag after matti recommendations
Mattic: protactic bad
Me : l
cant recommend the PM bad if you can get protactic for less now can he
@@burgunbeerd only more expensive if you get the package with all the accessories.
Well it would suck if you go by Matti's recommendations alone. But you do know that he's tighter with PM than peanut butter with jelly, right?
@@charlesheinzphotography1637 wait, what's the price on the PM Nomatic? Someone said it's like 525 for just the bag and the cube. Protactic is like 250 at most.
F stop's backpacks are probably the best backpacks. Very modular and durable. Just high priced, but for carrying around thousands in equipment, worth the investment
I’ve always liked Tenba and Dakine camera bags. They don’t get enough credit. The Dakone Sync is an awesome, small, everyday photo backpack.
Drinking game: whenever Matti says "REALLY".
Trying to get alcohol poisoning 😂😂😂
BRUH
Thank god... I don't drink.
I am impressed with Peter's bag
I love my Peak Everyday 20L but I admit it wouldn't be great for a serious photographer. I travel a lot and the photography backpack I see people with the most is the Lowepro ProTactic.
I spend way too much time investigating bags. I definitely have a bag problem. But it's so good! Backed peter's bag soooo pumped
FYI, you CAN fold the lid of the CIA Pro insert to stay underneath it in the Backpack Pro. That widest rib will be on the side, with the rest of the lid underneath the insert.
🎒🎒🎒.. for weddings do you recommend PM’s backpacks 🎒??? I carry two 📷s on shoots can you do a video showing two cameras with 2 zoom lens🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Matti is always a good friend to PM so it’s obvious already even before finishing this video, this is a veiled promo for PM nomatic backpack
Does the dbag have luggage pass through ?
Oh, that Shimoda would be perfect for me. Thanks for the hint Matti!
I use an Incase backpack. It doesn't look like a camera bag with it's sleek design which is great plus it fits my tripod on the inside instead of externally with straps.
I’m still in love with my Pro Tactic 450, it’s perfect for me.
Mikael Klingbjer me too - daily use and takes huge abuse.
Its the best bag mentioned kn this video
New favourite bag has to be the Tenba Cooper 8. Fantastic bag. For anything bigger I’d go with the Lowepro 450 v2 or for more protective a Pelican Case 1510.
You got all those bags....and ya know..its real funny, im in need of a new one.....cough cough...lol.
Great video. I love my Lowepro Fastpack 250.
What sweater is that ? Looks so good !
Currently using Lowepro flipside 500 II. Fits nicely my 150-600 or 300 F2.8
So all this backpack/bag talk got me thinking about something basic - the mechanics of when you're out shooting. Yes, sometimes we pack up a bag and travel from A to B, then unload it. But when you're out walking around shooting, how do all the little things work, partially with gear in the bag, but also things like lens changes, taking out then using then putting away a tripod, etc. I'd love a BTS video not of shooting, but all the times you and Matt stop, take something out of a bag, change a lens, pack up a tripod, etc. It sounds super basic, but it's something I've wondered - do "pros" change lenses a lot more often than I do? Do you throw down your backpack on the snow in the park or on the street, flip open the whole lid and such to get something out or to put it away while out shooting this kind of content? Maybe dull, but helpful for everyone else to see those basics and how to do it well/quickly.
The of travel bag is the best. You fold the flap under the cube before you clip it in. It's designed that way. But I do agree the camera cub needs to be thinner. Other than that I use this bag all the time.
Dope intro man!
I'm so on the fence with Peter's bag. Love the features it has and that i can push in some clothes there as well... It's either that or the Lowepro 450AW II...
what about a Lowpro 450AW II with the cube pack eh? ;)
Get the PM. He's right about the Lowepro. I have the 450AW II. it's a great bag, but not nearly as well designed as the PM one appears to be.
@@danggood I'm leaning towards it. I mean, it already has my first name on it 😅
450 AWII works great, and notably in comparison to Peter's: it can easily accommodate a gripped camera. Peter's does not. Wish it had a bit extra space for additional clothes, but oh well. For that, I'm considering Shimoda Action.
@@danggood But it fits a gripped camera! Peter's doesn't.
The flap of the PD medium camera combo can also fold away like you did it on the DB.
I'm not sure how anyone "reviewing" bags can not know this or be bothered to notice it, unless of course they are going through a process to come to an obvious conclusion as has been stated in the comments many times (and its not an actual review). I'm disappointed if thats the case.
Not surprised at all to see Matti pick Peter McKinnon’s backpack as the winner. Brace yourself for all the minion reviews when this one goes into production.
Shimoda bags are incredible. I bought the Peter McKinnon bag and returned it. I love his battery holder though. I just wish I could find a bag that holds a laptop and a mirrorless and small lens. Just small, compact and tight. I don’t always need to bring multiple lenses, so if there was a small minimal compartment with a nice big laptop slot, and doesn’t look like a turtle shell, that would be legit.
I'm using the large blue from Ikea .... lightweight, you can carry alot in it, no zippers, velcro or magnet, and if it breaks you go to Ikea and get a new for free. A great cheap bag I use for basically anything but my camera gear, where I use the Bumblebee 230 from Manfrotto.
have you ever seen Tenba camera bags? They make gun and equipment bags for the military and took the technology into camera bags. Tenba AXis 20L perfect size. durable and ready for it all
From what I’ve seen, I love Peters new bag. I don’t love how long the wait will be. Give us the goods now, don’t make us wait! I get it, but it’s one of the things that’s a bummer about Kickstarter.
No mention of F-Stop bags? Have you used any of them before? I think they are a better built than some of those bags.
I'm gonna get Peter's Backpack because Not only can I use it as a Camera Backpack BUT...also as an Everyday Pack as well because when I go Traveling instead of 3 bags to carry all i need is just 2. This and my carry-on...AMAZING...AND Simple.
Thats a whole lot of backpacks!
I just came back from work and on my way home i listened to the thirt episode of the Matti & Pete show. and i couldnt stop laughing about pete's struggle to get to see the finale of game of thrones, it was just so funny and i felt listening to it as i was there with you guys, it made my day thanks for that! And i would love to see more podcasts series in the future if possible because there so personal and funny to hear you guys talk about filmmakers stuff and other things that i can relate to really good❤ i've also sent this to Peter because i wanted to share it right niw with you guys both, oh by the way, this has nothing to do with the video but i hope you like this comment also😁✌🏼
Did he said that this video is not sponsored by PM? lol jokes
I use my hexbrand bag for bigger shoots when I need more gear. I go to lately for run and gun shooting is my wandrd prvke 31. It’s perfect for what I need.
Hey. When does the Kickstarter end for PM's backpack?
Your review of the PeakDesign Travel Backpack could have been much more complete, it's my daily driver and it has a lot of features that you didn't cover, such as :
- The cube system that allows you to adapt the gear to clothing ratio. For instance, with a large camera cube you can fill up the entire bag with gear for a big shoot. On the contrary, with a small camera cube and medium packing cube you can have enough clothing for a week long vacation as well as a camera body with 2 or 3 lenses.
- The front of the back has a few zipper pockets
- It has both compression and expansion, meaning that it can compress from 35L to 30L for daily-ish use but also the front pocket expand for 45Ltotal, to pack more clothes for example
- It features full back access, as well as side access on either sides, and even front access if you unzip the internal divider
- Two water bottle pocket for water bottle + tripod carry or umbrella + tripod
And a bunch more : laptop + tablet sleeve, tuck-away hip strap, sternum strap, smart ways to make the bag less pickpocketable, external carry, weather proofness, lifetime warranty...
Furthermore, PeakDesign is part of 1%For The Planet and is launching a Carbon Neutral label. I know it takes time to learn about all of these features, but it's important to highlight that although it's a big backpack, it is also very feature rich to the same level of Pete's one.
Just got the 45l travel back and it's awesome so far! Got the medium cube for a7iii plus 3 lenses, powerbank and mini 2 drone setup. My Gimbal fits into the front pocket and the tripod goes to the side with a water bottle. That thing is amazing! And I love the materials, they seem really sturdy
He has the peak design 45L travel on the thumbnail but reviews the everyday bag in the video, no mention of the travel 45L, weird ..a bit misleading.
I use a Tenba 32L tactical bag cuz none of the concerns you have with a bag are a concern for me. I need a massive bag that fits my gimbal, camera, a lens, all of my batteries/other camera stuff and maybe a stack of papers and a couple granola bars. I don't care much about the look and none of those cubey strolling around small travel bags are ever gonna be able to carry the 18 pounds of stuff that I need to stuff in my bag. Peter's bag is also filled with too many compartments for me to be able to fit the larger pieces in and doesn't look deep enough
I still use the lowepro 450 and it's been perfectly fine for my use, but the one thing that really bothers me about it is that it doesn't have a water bottle compartment, and I always need a water bottle with me.
It’s kinda biased... you didn’t show any features of the peak design backpacks. There is so much more into it
There is also more to the douchebags
Yeah, helpful he had 6 minutes to spare to cover ALL of the features for the PM bag though.
I've been needing a new camera backpack for a while. My lowepro is 10 years old. Been through hell, including being submerged in the ocean in Florida. Still holding up though. My hiking backpack does not have padding for a camera. I've been looking for a while, for something to use daily. I just scored a brand new thinktank streetwalker (retail $170 to $300 USD - depending on seller). this was a great $10 thrift shop find. Oh, and one of the pockets had a subpar polarizing filter left in it.
I'm getting a pelican case, have gone through a few backpacks due to ripped zips and did the same on a shoot the other day. they don't last forever unfortunately
I’m using a Lowepro basic bag. Matti your channel deserves 5 million subs I love your content so much🔥
So there's also no way to lock the "Easy Access Pocket" (and Easy Steal Pocket) at all? I saw in their commercial on Kickstarter that you could add tiny locks, but how does it work? Noone on TH-cam seems to address this Security problem with this pricey bag...
I've been using and loving the Peak Design Everyday 30L backpack. It allows me to carry my work stuff as well as always have my camera on me. The Peak Design pouches also keep everything organized.
I got the lowepro 450, and your right the bag is a bit deep.
500 Euros for that Backpack, i know is amazing quality, but dude, 90% of peter pubblic don't have money :( put myself in this.
This video has convinced me what backpack to actually buy! The..... Peak Design Everyday Backpack for sure! I knew that was the one when he threw it out at about 2:50 in the video, LOL!!! Seriously, the McKinnon everyday backpack looks really good, but I don't want to wait for it. The current Mckinnon bag is just way too big!!!! PD Everyday is perfectly fine.
Yes ! Pete's backpack is amazing... BUT, no all of the process can be thanks to him, pretty sure there was a design team advising him and also giving him ideas, may be ! Thats how those projects work, as far as I know.
Can you fit a 1dx body with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached in Peter’s bag?
