That was an excellent review- you actually made me want one, and I love the murdered out black - so sleek. Please do a follow up after a few months. Thanks! Very much enjoyed the intro.
Pro tip: Flip the dividers, so when you use the flaps on them they flip upwards instead of downwards. Then they they will be on an angle inward, so your stuff won't fall out so easily... ;)
I once bought some cargo shorts that had magnets to keep the leg pockets closed & I thought "what an amazing idea why hasn't anyone thought of this before". As soon as I wore them I quickly realized anytime I was near a dishwasher or fridge my shorts flew away from my legs and loudly attached themselves to any metal surfaces. I also get strange looks in public anytime I get too close to my or others car doors & finding them in the dryer is challenging. I think you motivated me to make a video review of my magnet shorts. Cheers!
Very nice review! I was searching for someone to review the all black version of this bag. This is the stylish one of the lineup. Many thanks for the video! Nice work!
Hey Lee, thanks for great video! Just wondering how is the black hardware holding up? I hear a lot of people sayinf this black is not as durable as the other color.
Finally...! An honest review with legit concerns a photographer would have! This is the only review that says what I was worried about when looking at the design/dividers. Things that are loose can get into other compartments and scratch various, expensive, items. And that top compartment... how frustrating because this looks like an AMAZING bag. I love the outer design. Hopefully there’s a version 2 coming soon that improves on these concerns. You’ve got a new sub, cheers!
Great review. I hated the first two colorways but when the all black came out I've been wanting one ever since. I picked up the 5L sling (all black as well) for small stuff but I've been needing a nice backpack and now that this is in all black, I'm gonna scoop one up.
In the video, looked like your dividers were inverted... flip it to more of a shelf from u underneath and things will fall out less easily. It was strange for me to have one of the dividers on the bottom of the bag as well but it really helps and gives you more Room at the top. Of course everything is personal preference but that has worked best for me. Thanks for the video!
Its still my main Camera bag. I love it. Super durable. Only has a little wear on the foam back pad area but other than that still good as new. You can see me wearing it in almost every video I've put out when Im shooting outside. Highly recommend.
Nice review. You mentioned some of the key downsides like the dividers and items falling down the sides.. that really pissed me off about the 30L Charcoal. Did you ever mod different dividers/velcro in? I have an Atlas Athlete pack which I love and also love Shimoda bags. For an urban bag / daily carry alternative I'm looking at the Think Tank Urban access 15 which has much better dividers than the Peak AND the WHOLE bag opens up from the back. Also a nice front pouch area for gimbal or clothing. 2x Clasps that are nicer that the Peak mag-latch for safety/anti-theft. Better padding and waist belt. BUT the Peak in black just looks SO GOOD...
I used the bag while backpacking up the "stairway to heaven" in Oahu during a downpour. The bag was exposed to a little over 2 hours of heavy rain and was able to keep my gear dry
Thanks for making the video and that's a dope hat lol! Funny when I first saw this peak design bag I thought it looked cool but I hated the two grey colors it came in. Now I really love this color but I don't want a bag that gives me the option to carry too much when I travel lol. But it looks really good especially in black
I have 30L version and its awesome in all aspect! I can see tha PD spend a lot of time making this unique backpack! If you can, swap it for 30L in size/price its not that big, but it fits more gear :) As always your review is top notch!
I forgot I was watching your vlog. I just started dancing.... .. PD rules. I have the " seat belt" camera strap( my name for it). And it kicks ass. Best strap ever. Been wondering about the backpacks..
I just bought this exact bag but I heard the metal hardware can be easily scratched since it’s plated in black. What’s your opinion on this and does it bother you ? Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this
Cool intro, Zed. How is the strap and back comfort level? I tried the 30L in the office and it was too big and the strap padding was thin. I also found the back padding was too thin for my liking. Not enough air to go through?
I kinda wish the interior was red since that's their thing or if they were gonna do a tan interior it would have been nice if the external stitching and latches/bars matched.
Shoulder Straps are really will padded?? Did you just say that without a thought? Those are as Thin As a dollar store backpack. Metromonger by greenroom is what I would expect.
It has been 3 months since you posted this video, are you still happy with the bag? Scratches? Usability? What about the space you've mentioned between the top part and the compartments?
David Viegas I love it for the most part. It’s holding up strong. The only thing I don’t like is if you don’t pack it carefully you have to watch stuff doesn’t roll out when you unzip a side. It needs to be facing up before you do .
Nice bag although expensive, but that whole falling down to the bottom and lenses that can fall out when you open the side disqualify that bag for Photography for me, especially for that price. There are lotsa special Photography bags for that money that are designed better and also build to last. And the days to look COOL with a bag are behind me ;-)
Someone count how many times the word "straps" is said in the video :) Great video bro! As an owner of the bag I highly recommend it to everyone that stops me to ask what kinda bag i have. It's beautiful. Can't wait to see what they do next gen of this bag. 25L?
Does anyone uses the Peak Design Backpack. Any feedbacks on its shoulder straps. How does it feel when the backpack carries lots of equipment and heavy. Any discomfort ?
I don't like this backpack. It is good for mirorles camera. The N800 with 24-70 (or 70-200) mounted is not possible to fit inside, without frustration. I don't like mount and unmount glass on every time when put inside or outside backpack. It is especially difficult if you have filters on sides of backpack. Try to fit N800(with quick release plate)+24-70 (mounted) and 70-200+T150-600 + SB800+ Cir filters x2+3 batteries+manfrotto beefree. If you put inside your laptop it is possible to damage cover by the quick release plate. I have 30 liters version.
I have the same concern, plus the loose compartments/space between compartments that could make the gears fall easily. I love the design but not sure I can afford to break some items because of that.
No denied, this is one of the best backpack in the market. But it is overpriced. Brand like Thule, Timbuk2 have similiar features and quality but half of the cost.
Snagged one as an upgrade to their short flash sale on Kickstarter recently. Love the all black! I actually had the first launch edition one, so I literally ditched that one for the color of the new all black. xD Neways, gotta love the anchor thingies too! And they always cheer up the look of a camera with those red accents, don't know what it is about that. Not sure about their seatbelt-style straps though, that's a bit... weird. I don't prefer it myself.
Why is the Black Everyday Backpack only limited to 20L and not 30L???? I'm just dumbfounded by this, that you can't get the most basic color for any bag in probably the most useable size. The 20 is simply too small for my needs, and I refuse to buy it. But I also refuse to buy anything that is not black and minimal (ash and charcoal are not good looking I'm sorry). Please make Black an option in 30L size Peak, this is just ridiculous.
Do people really pack multiple bodies? Is this just to show space or do you really need it? I feel like the money pros are willing to pay for lenses would mean they'd also buy a killer camera that is a one stop shop. Like if I had the dinero I'd buy a gh5 and wouldn't need anything else.
SKDK I always pack multiple bodies if I’m doing a job. But I have bigger bags for that. I was just showing what you could fit in this bag if you wanted to. I honestly didn’t buy this bag for work though. Mostly just to pack a couple lenses and my laptop.
Trent Mitchell I tried different configurations and this way fit things the best for me. If I flip the top divider it makes an even bigger gap for things to fall through. This way made a better top shelf. But yeah if you flip the divider the other way you can make small cubbies that would be much better for small lenses
I tried it both ways I like how I have it setup like this. If I were to flip the top shelf around theres an even bigger gap for things to fall through between the top and the inside.
Fair enough :-) but u can see it’s meant to be the other way. I just got mine, put my Mavic in and can’t wait for sunny days to find out how it goes . . . Cheers !
I flipped the middle one the other way around. It acts more like a cup shape which is better for smaller lenses. Yeah that's the advantage of the Mavic. Takes up almost as much room as a DSLR. If I didn't already have a Phantom3Pro I would buy a mavic :P
Incredibly detailed, honest and useful review. Keeping it real as usual Lee! Keep killing it! Your reviews are the tops!
I do not need a camera bag , but a good laptop bag but really like this for the way it got compartments to carry stuff along with laptop sleeve too
That was an excellent review- you actually made me want one, and I love the murdered out black - so sleek. Please do a follow up after a few months. Thanks! Very much enjoyed the intro.

This is the funniest UA-cam reply I've seen in ages :-)
"NOOO! MY MECHANICAL HARD DRIVES ARE RUINED!"
thats some incredible powerful magnets lol.
The plants a nice touch. Seriously. Good job. 👍
The new black color looks great, I’m still debating on which bag type to grab. Good review! Thanks for posting

Dude, the thick straps are a waist belt! Nice review, I love my 30L Everyday in charcoal.

Any follow-up to this? How did it work out? Did you keep using it?
Its still my main Camera bag. I love it. Super durable. Only has a little wear on the foam back pad area but other than that still good as new. You can see me wearing it in almost every video I've put out when Im shooting outside. Highly recommend.
@@LeeZavitz not sure how I never noticed you wearing, guess the blackout really makes it subtle! Love your fuji gear content, thanks man!
I went to Cabellas and got some mesh zippered bags to carry and separate all the small stuff. Works great.
Nice review. You mentioned some of the key downsides like the dividers and items falling down the sides.. that really pissed me off about the 30L Charcoal.

Awesome vid! Would anyone recommend getting the 30L over the 20L?

i am convinced i can make this work for a one bag travel. great video. :)
I have 30L version and its awesome in all aspect! I can see tha PD spend a lot of time making this unique backpack! If you can, swap it for 30L in size/price its not that big, but it fits more gear :) As always your review is top notch!

My 56mm 1.2 fell out just as you mentioned may happen.. returned the backpack after that!
Man, that intro sequence was dope, very nice work and very nice bag too :)
I just bought this exact bag but I heard the metal hardware can be easily scratched since it’s plated in black. What’s your opinion on this and does it bother you ? Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this
I’m very interested as I own a lot peak design products, great video!!!
Very nice review. Although the black looks badass, I opted for the Ash since I already have a TON of black tacticool backpacks lying around.
Cool intro, Zed. How is the strap and back comfort level? I tried the 30L in the office and it was too big and the strap padding was thin. I also found the back padding was too thin for my liking. Not enough air to go through?
Nice work! Great review and video quality!

Shoulder Straps are really will padded??
Did you just say that without a thought?
Those are as Thin As a dollar store backpack.
Metromonger by greenroom is what I would expect.
I love the Hat !!
where can i get it ?
i would love to support your channel in that way.
WHAT ARE THOOOSE!?!?! no really, I liked the boots, where did you get them?
Got anything recommendations around the $100 mark? Although this Black is awesome is a bit outside my budget 😄
Ooooh dang! Great review
Great vid - just next time, if you're reviewing a black bag... maybe wear a shirt that isnt black, might show the bag a bit bitter. Cheers.
Looks good! Too small for me though. I’ll be waiting for the 30
Love your videos man! Watched your channel for a couple months now 👍
Love the black version
gosh what a beautiful bag..!! bonus it also matches my car lol i definitely like this color combo #wishlist
I really wish they have options for inner layout color, yellowish brown is kind of bad
prefer like purple, red, deep blue, green, grey etc
Great Job mate.

I will get the 10L Sling first, should I get Ash or Black or Charcoal color?
Will Black one get dirt more easily compare to other color?
Someone count how many times the word "straps" is said in the video :) Great video bro! As an owner of the bag I highly recommend it to everyone that stops me to ask what kinda bag i have. It's beautiful. Can't wait to see what they do next gen of this bag. 25L?
All the straps!
Have one, great bag but so uncomfortable on the shoulders, and I only have a Nikon Z6 and 2 lens in it!!
How you like your pd backpack? Do you still use it?
Btw: the material is nylon with a weather coat.
WrxMike I love it. Yes I’m still using it.
But does it have any straps?
hell yeah!!!! Epic B-roll!!!!! :)
I spoke to Peak at Photo Plus last year, they hinted at a 30L coming in Feb or March, that one I cant wait for! Great video man
Eric Rossi Oh nice!
Does anyone uses the Peak Design Backpack. Any feedbacks on its shoulder straps. How does it feel when the backpack carries lots of equipment and heavy. Any discomfort ?
I still use this same bag, it’s awesome and has held up so well. The straps are comfortable but firm
@@LeeZavitz Appreciate the feedback. Thank you .
I need 30L for Black Version and it hasn’t come up yet!!!
Love that bag. Def want one. Probably going to get one. Ahhhhh my wife is gonna kill me. I have G.A.S.
I don't like this backpack. It is good for mirorles camera. The N800 with 24-70 (or 70-200) mounted is not possible to fit inside, without frustration.

If you put inside your laptop it is possible to damage cover by the quick release plate. I have 30 liters version.
About time they made a black version. The other colors just screams "Hey I'm carrying expensive gear!" Did you ditch your Fuji gear?
Well done 👍🏽
do you find that the black material get scuffed easily?
I have the same concern, plus the loose compartments/space between compartments that could make the gears fall easily. I love the design but not sure I can afford to break some items because of that.
Love the black color but I want a 30L version.
I'm sure they will come out with a 30L version this year
No denied, this is one of the best backpack in the market. But it is overpriced. Brand like Thule, Timbuk2 have similiar features and quality but half of the cost.
Can you fit the Zhiyun Crane inside?
I would buy this bag if they included pockets in the straps to store cards and a sleeve pocket in the back of the bag to store a passport and wallet
Snagged one as an upgrade to their short flash sale on Kickstarter recently. Love the all black!
I actually had the first launch edition one, so I literally ditched that one for the color of the new all black. xD
Neways, gotta love the anchor thingies too! And they always cheer up the look of a camera with those red accents, don't know what it is about that. Not sure about their seatbelt-style straps though, that's a bit... weird. I don't prefer it myself.
Can the 30L fit a 17" laptop? (Razer Blade Pro)
nice vid bro keep it up
What's with all the magnets, isn't that dangerous for our tech? Like hard drive or SD card?
can you vid a glide cam in it?
this vs lowepro protactic 450 aw?
Anything a lot less expensive lol?
This strap, those straps, adjustment of the straps, straps straps straps
Nice

can you turn next time the Displays in the back off. i find it a bit disturbing during the review... (IMO) ;-)
i like the review stuff videos....

Your dividers are upside-down brutha. Unless you have them turned that way on purpose.

This way made a better top shelf. But yeah if you flip the divider the other way you can make small cubbies that would be much better for small lenses
beautiful, but does not worth all those money. Max 90 bucks. Pricing is really badly done
fall down through
No problem
Man, you put the stripes upside down !!!!!!!!
I tried it both ways I like how I have it setup like this. If I were to flip the top shelf around theres an even bigger gap for things to fall through between the top and the inside.

damn millennials love your backpacks, put your hat on straight eminem lololol lmao!!!!! luv ya kiddo!!!! good video!
LOL
"Thumb down twice". I see what you did there.
Pitty that inside colour is yellow vomit and glad I watch a few videos on youtube, their photos show a nice warn tan colour (leather like)...
