RRP: $545.41 @ Peak Design.

      You know, I considered not sharing this because I knew some wowsers would sook about it, but the price here is nearly 25% off rrp, and if someone wants one of these bags, then getting nearly a full quarter off the price is pretty decent.

        Yikes, is that really 25% off? I'd love that bag, but still not at the price point. I bought my Peak Design stuff over the in the US. Maybe it's just the Aussie tax.

            @TheRealCJ: I mean - some local brand Aus products are also expensive when the equivalent is cheaper in NA. So that really isn't all that true.

      There is always one… On every premium niche product deal, with objectively good/best pricing, someone comes along and tries to shove their values down others throats.

      These exist, people buy it. Very much so, they are generally loved and many think prices justified for carrying, protecting and conveniently using thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment.

      Sorry the company didn’t check with you when they were designing, tooling and manufacturing this product. Maybe you aren’t the target audience though?

    Yeah, nah. Love the gear but it's a bag in the end. Would rather spend the money on the kit, lenses, bodies etc. Must say they do hold a value even 2nd hand but there are plenty of other ways to carry your gear. Not scotching the bargain OP and the gear is good, just pricey.

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 17:51

      Yeah, not the bag for me either. I've taken a look at them at a local camera shop and damn are they well made and comfortable, but they're a bit too small for my liking (for an every day backpack, that is)

      I have a backpack that I've used for close to a decade, and haven't found one I like more, to the point I bought another one to keep in my cupboard as a spare for when mine finally gives up the ghost, just in case carribee discontinue the model.

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 17:53

      Sure, they are very well reviewed and most people who buy them have very little bad to say about them. I guess it comes down to if you're willing to spend that much on a bag.

    • Reviveme on 17/06/2022 - 18:23
      +1

      Depends how much gear he have, I'm just assuming but an amateur photographer would have a body and maybe 1-3 lens, you could trying getting him the Peak Design Everyday Sling if he specifically wants it for camera use only. It's lighter and easier to bring on hikes or wherever. And use the remaining money to buy like the pd capture clips and straps.

      But you could buy this and he can use it as a camera bag and a everyday bag.

    I've had the Peak Design Everyday Backpack V1 30L for years now. It's pretty close to flawless. The price really has gone up on these over the last few years. But if price is no concern… These bags are amazing

  • Remorhaz on 17/06/2022 - 18:04

    Peak Design gear IS very nice (their camera straps and attach points some of which I got during their original Kickstarter are awesome) - but this or the Orbis 20L Camera Backpack (a fake/knock off of the PD Everyday Backpack V1 20L) I once got from Kogan for the princely sum of under $32

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 18:12

      I will say for peak design, they really stand by their products. I backed the kickstarter for the original camera clip. It broke about four years later, and they replaced it with the V2 without hesitation.

  • Tiigger on 17/06/2022 - 18:06

    Impossible for me to justify this over the excellent Osprey Nebula that you can get for around $145 at the moment

      Different use cases, the Peak Design one is a camera bag first and foremost. It would be immensely annoying trying to carry a camera and gear in that Osprey pack.

      A better comparison would be similar Camera backpacks

  • aragornelessar on 17/06/2022 - 18:26

    Lifetime warranty too - https://www.peakdesign.com/pages/warranty

    I haven't had to test their warranty claims in Aus (I have only owned their bags for just over a year), but in the US there have been pretty amazing stories of PD replacing faulty or frayed gear years after you'd expect them to. I'm sure this is factored into their regular pricing though

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 18:29
      +2

      I can personally say that I've dealt with their warranty, backed the kickstarter for the original capture clip, used it for about 4 years when the thing broke. One email with a couple of pictures of the issue and they replaced it with a Capture V2 without any fuss.

    • aim54x on 17/06/2022 - 19:14

      Tested their warranty on various occaisions.

      Kickstarter Everyday Messenger
      -strap issue, new strap sent
      -swivel attachment fraying, replacement bag sent

      5L everyday sling
      -zip problem, replament bag sent

      Anchor recall - got replacements for all the affected ones I had

      Big user of their gear, but I definitely prefer their orginal Gen 1 bags

  • Gwilli on 17/06/2022 - 18:32

    Backpacks are not idea for camera gear access anyhow, all the valuable stuff is behind you and out of reach, even with the side access zips. but if carrying a lot of gear lenses, tripods, lighting, it does make sense.
    I have used slings and messenger bags like crumpler and these are better for everyday walk around stuff, 1 body, batteries and a couple of lens outings, everything in front if needed or slung out back when not. Weight is a factor of course, a heavier bag is harder to carry but probably offers more protection. Peak design stuff is good quality, i like the leash and straps as they are comfortable and strong.

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 18:33

      I have my gear split between a backpack and a sling bag, the sling for when I'm walking around taking photos, but the backpack for when I need to carry all my gear and/or have a long way to carry said gear.

      • Gwilli on 17/06/2022 - 18:37

        Yeah, that's the way i travel, i have an all purpose convertible backpack/trolley with wheels for airports, the straps stow away and can be a trolley or stow the handle and use the straps to backpack. All lenses in covers and bodies wrapped in cloth or cases. All the gear in the pack for transit, then broken into sling for day tripping.
        I did use a large bum bag for a few years that would fit a small SLR but it broke eventually and couldn't find a large replacement.

      I went with this: https://www.lowepro.com/au-en/fastpack-bp-250-aw-iii-grey-lp…

      Access from the side, so you drop off one strap and sling it, then unzip from the side to access the main compartment without having to take it off all the way. A photo on the page shows how it works better than I can describe it.

    Be careful, buying peak design products is like doing drugs. You won't be able to stop because all of their products work so well together.

    As a photographer, I started out with their "Leash" Camera Strap—hands down the best strap for a lighter camera kit (I shoot Fujifilm). It's comfortable, light, adjustable and has quick releases. Then, having accumulated many cameras and lenses, I needed a proper solution for an increasing body and lens collection - my two slings were too small and too big and got too heavy on one shoulder. The camera insert I had took up too much space and was really annoying in the bottom of my backpacks. Considering that I this point I owned more than $4000 worth of camera gear, I think it was a good idea to spend at least several hundred to protect that expensive gear. I purchased up with the 20L version of the backpack used and have not regretted it.

    Here's my brief review.

    Pros:
    * Extremely Durable
    * Very weather-resistant (A hike in semi-heavy rain got the inner lining of the camera compartment wet but probably only after being placed on lots of very wet surfaces, I reckon it would've stayed dry if it were on my back the whole time. All my camera gear remained dry and working. Rain may also seep into the lining pf of top quick-access compartment)
    * Includes straps for carrying stuff outside of the bag.
    * The dividers are great and flexible for whatever you're trying to carry.
    * Works very well with other peak design products. I also own the peak design capture clip v3, which has been amazing on this bag. Also it includes an anchor clip for your keys.

    I do also have a few gripes/cons:
    * While it is very weather-resistant it is not weather-proof as I believe they claim in their marketing material.
    * It's uncomfortable with heavier loads, the straps are not very comfortable and padded. I found myself forced to spend an extra $50 to purchase the hip belt to carry more of my kit without sore shoulders. If you use full-frame cameras (DSLRs especially) and intend to carry a couple of lenses and a tripod, you should expect to need the hip belt.
    * It's certainly not as convenient as a sling bag. You have to swing it around the front to use it, this move doesn't inspire much confidence when I'm holding it or have it clipped to the bag. This makes it difficult to change lenses while the bag is still on, it is not a good lens-changing platform. They tell you to adjust the straps as you bring it in front of you but I have found this to be very awkward.
    * For my 20L version, the laptop compartment shares space with the main compartment and having a laptop in the bag means less space for gear. This also applies to bottles and tripods in the side pockets. When it is packed full, the zips also become hard to operate.
    * The mag-latch is great for expansion but on the higher rungs it leaves the top exposed to the elements.

    Overall, it's a great bag for any camera users, but you need to be aware that it is (still) not perfect. That being said, even given the chance to get my money back and get something different I would still purchase this bag (especially at the used price I did). If you do buy it, be careful as their products work together so well - I would love one of their (very overpriced) tripods that would fit slimmer into the side pockets and one of their slings for lighter carry.

    I've got the 10L sling and carrying a Mirrorless body with 2 zoom lenses it got heavy so I was doing research for a camera bag that could double up as an everyday carry. Read a few people saying that they get sore shoulders after a day of travelling with a load in this bag so I ended up buying the Wandrd PRVKE V2 31L instead. I think most people would be happy with this bag though but if you get sore shoulders might be better off with a Shimoda explorer or a PRVKE.

    This is a BIFL bag. I have the V1 when it came out (4 years now) and bought it for around 350 AUD. I have used it everyday since. Still going strong. Meanwhile my coworkers have been spending 100 dollar on a bag that they will change every year. Less garbage on Earth. Lifetime warranty. Smart features without being too overly designed. Looks good. Before I used to own multiple bags and will eventually change it after a few years as they begin to break or the features are not adapting to the changes in my life. Also saved me the headache of researching the best bag every year.

  • saintpat on 23/06/2022 - 14:19

    I use their everyday messenger V1. Very well made and lots of nice design features. I got a pretty good price on it at B&H.

    I personally prefer the design of the first generation stuff.
