This bag was built with photographers in mind, but most travelers will appreciate its easy accessibility, clever tuck-away straps, and the elegant way the bag expands and contracts, depending on how much you’ve packed. The accessory cubes cost extra, though.

The Peak Design Travel Tripod has many attractive features that might make it the perfect choice for you. First of all, it comes with both a bag and a hard case, so you have options to protect your investment depending on where you're headed and what you'll be doing. Hard cases can be a crucial accessory when it comes to certain types of travel. We love the design of the Peak Design model. It can adjust to position the camera angle to be very low to the ground thanks to its wide footprint, and it has a nifty shoulder strap. It's easy to set up and take down than many models we've tested, and we found the phone mount to be innovative and useful. The Peak Design Travel Tripod is one of the more stable models that we've tested, so if you're going to be shooting a video, this one is an excellent choice.
The biggest downside to purchasing this model is the price. For many applications, a cheaper model will do the trick. It's also a bit heavy and bulky compared to other travel tripods on the market, especially once it's in the hard case. Regardless, we think the Peak Design Travel Tripod is an excellent purchase for those looking for a stable tripod with many luxurious extras that is also easy to use.

The Peak Design Travel 45 is an extremely well-designed pack that has loads of great features. It takes home the top honors in our Best Travel Backpack review, but it's much more than just a pack for travel. This is a particularly sturdy and rigid bag, which helps protect your luggage, camera gear, or anything else you stuff in here, making it great for day-to-day use. This rigidity also adds to the overall durability of the pack. The thick, dense foam in the hip belt and shoulder straps are some of the most comfortable we've worn. And, those straps can be packed away behind a magnetic flap to make stowing your pack during travel a breeze. It has detachable lash straps that double as compression straps, compressions buttons, and a circumferential compression zipper to make carrying a variable load easy with this pack. This also helps if you need to fit it into tight spaces, as you often do when traveling. Peak Design also makes many accessories for camera gear, including a camera case that nests nicely inside this pack. 
The sturdy and rigid construction does make the Travel Backpack difficult, if not impossible, to overstuff. So, this might not be the best choice to backpack across Europe. However, we think this bag's sleek design, ultimate comfort, and well-thought-out features make it one of the best choices for carrying your gear near and far.

 Use the front access to get into what we call the organization panel in here. You've got a handful of separately zippered pockets and these pockets back here actually upside so you can get to them from the front or the back. You'll notice that a few of these pockets have perforated mesh which allows you to see what's actually in there. and this pocket up here has internal organization

 so using a single cable lock, you can actually lock that access to the main volume. I'm going to move my zippers to the top for both the back access and the front access. Then he's one of these puppies. You get a cable lock in any travel store just on the Internet Whoops! Open it up, feed it through the rings of your zipper and coupled with hiding your side zips, you've now effectively locked access to the main volume of the bag

 The main new zipper have the same theft-deterrent zipper poles that are everyday backpacks have you unattach the hype. One run it through the ring on the opposite sipper and then reattach because the zips travel together. Pulling on one will not open it up. To recap, nobody's getting in the front, nobody's getting in the side and no one's getting in the back

 Just like on our everyday backpacks, the travel backpack has dual side access so you can get into the bag when it's on your body or if you just want to open it up and get to a specific part of the bag Side access really shines with our separately available camera cubes, which you can click on the link for that somewhere around this video. So Travel Backpack also has front access. Use the front access to get into what we call the organization panel in here. You've got a handful of separately zippered pockets and these pockets back here actually upside so you can get to them from the front or the back

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L: Setup + Tips

  Nonetheless, I didn't have time to return it so I jerry-rigged a fix by tying and safety pinning the strap into place and took the bag to Europe for my two-week trip. I'll list some of the best and worst parts of the bag.  Pros: -carry-on compliment -expandable storage is great -pockets everywhere -tons of robust straps on all sides to carry and move the bag -expandable water bottle holders so you can fit a bottle even at capacity -ridged and comfortable back -super high-quality materials and zippers -expandable front pouch for more storage after capacity -exceptionally rugged and waterproof -concelable straps and magnets everywhere -definitely a good looking bag!  Cons -while the main straps are great, the backpacking chest and waist straps are far from comfortable, I think they value looks over functionality here - so if you're going to be wearing this 24/7 make sure you're aware of that -no interior straps for compacting clothes like other travel backpacks -while the materials are amazing, they are heavier and add some weight - my bag was easily heavier than my brother's osprey bag which was significantly lighter at capacity -for me, receiving a previously returned item while paying full price  In the end, I really had a good experience traveling with this bag because of the great functionality while looking good at the same time. If I didn't receive a defective and previously returned unit, I would have considered this a buy that would've lasted me a lifetime

I'm returning mine though because I feel like I've been wronged by paying full price for a used item - although i just may purchase it again for my next trip. Five stars if you don't run into the problems I had, but it’s three stars for me

Great backpack... if you receive a new one

 So If you have things strategically positioned in here,, unzip that from the side, grab what you need. This is especially handy for the camera cube insert. Keeps Your camera Easy to grab, easy access. One Last feature to notice here is that all the zippers on this are lockable with O-rings and they come with some additional securing features as well

 That's really great for getting the pack into side access mode while you're wearing it, as well as hiding the strap system, which we'll get into in a second. The Straps themselves offer some high-density foam, definitely comfortable here. More comfortable than the Peak Design Everyday Backpack; So just note that they've definitely improved upon that system that they had going on with the previous pack. And Then they also feature aluminum glide hardware on the straps themselves,, which are good

 Onto Some of the cons.: The zipper choice really puzzles us. The sternum strap comes off little bit more easily than we'd like to see. And Lastly, the side hails provide a bit of a funky, imbalanced carry

Peak Design Travel Backpack Review | 30-45L Pack Perfect For One Bag Travel

Looking for suggestions of a backpack for short travel + tech stuff

- This is a heavy bag. I had to meet some tight weight restrictions for the airline carryon bags, and this bag did not help in that regard.

- The lash straps are super handy. I used them to lash an extra coat to the outside of the pack.

Many great features, but heavy on shoulders

 So honestly, I think this is one major design flaw in the peak design 45 liter although I think it is also outweighed by the streamlined design and all the other clever little touches that are included in it. First, one of the coolest things is that you can expand it from a default 35 litre to a 45 liter size and I think this makes it perfect for both shorter and longer trips. Let's take a quick look at the compartments. On the front is a travel organizer which has four zip pouches inside, two of which can also be accessed from the main compartment

 What happened on my first trip with this backpack and went to Rome I Had two bags with me so I checked this one in although it's carry-on size in this case I Checked it in and saw the backpacker returned from the conveyor belt without it my sternum strap. So what happened I think was that I left it on one side and that's just not enough to keep it in place if you check in this bag. I Do highly recommend taking off the stern strap and putting it inside your backpack where it is safe. Fortunately, peak design does have placement straps available, so I got a new one, but it was a little bit annoying

 But here's the thing. You can also detach it and that of course makes it really easy to lose.

 so there's one thing I'm honestly not really a fan of and that is the sternum strap. It seems really clever and flexible at first because you can take this out and adjust the sternum strap look for different heights depending on your preference. But here's the thing. You can also detach it and that of course makes it really easy to lose

Peak Design 45L Backpack (In-depth After 6 Months)

Need one travel backpack for full-time, around the world travel (semi-minimal)

 I carry it around like a duffle bag 90% of the time because the shoulder straps are not comfortable at all anything over 10 lbs will start the straps digging painfully into your shoulders because of limited padding and poor bag stabilization. If the straps had more padding, load lifters to stabilize the straps and hip belt stabilizers it would be a different story. Or if the bag just had wider straps similar to the shimoda backpacks it would probably be my favorite bag.

With a travel backpack V2 please take some tie to look at other camera backpack manufactures like shimoda or hiking bag companies like Osprey for a better harness system and improve the straps so we can use this bag to actually carry equipment.

 I have been trying to use this bag for most trips for the last few years, restrictions really cut down on where I could go. But this is not a bag that you want to wear as a backpack. I carry it around like a duffle bag 90% of the time because the shoulder straps are not comfortable at all anything over 10 lbs will start the straps digging painfully into your shoulders because of limited padding and poor bag stabilization. If the straps had more padding, load lifters to stabilize the straps and hip belt stabilizers it would be a different story

beautiful bag let down by the straps

 When you put it on and you attach it to both sides. if there's weight in the bag, which there will be, that's why you're using the sternum strap, then the straps kind of roll in which gives you a slightly annoying feeling and a slightly uncomfortable feeling. It has gotten better the longer I've used the bag and the longer I've had it, but it is still something to keep in mind. Same with the hip straps

 You can buy the camera cube for it, which essentially turns the whole thing into a camera backpack if you want to, and again, if you want to, you can buy the rain fly for it. So in terms of quick access, you have one pocket on the front here, one smaller pocket which is about big enough for I don't know, a pair of sunglasses, a couple of small things. Your main quick access is going to be in here at the top. There is one pocket on the back here and one pocket on the front

 It's going to stand up to a lot. If you're throwing it in and out of taxis you're taking to airports buses, then it's It's going to stand up to the punishment that you want to give it. On top of that, these solid materials and this slightly heavier weight mean that it's going to hold its shape. It's going to hold its shape even when it's empty

 But if I was to, uh, use one word to describe it that would be over engineered, significantly over engineered. I can't help thinking about systems like the uh, the Tortuga set out which has these great massive straps which are just straight up easy to use heavy duty long distance hauling straps. These feel a little bit more like form over function. I would have liked them to be a little bit more padded
