Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L: Setup + Tips

Many people like me think that walking in the street with a tripod not concealed in a bag aside seems too high-profile. I hope Peak Design will release a set of tripod bags for different sizes with always PD low-profile style and attachable to Molle straps in the future. And a series of Molle system backpack to adventurous photographers. Thanks!

Man they’ve really thought this bag thru

I want to use my travel backpack for many years. So what r the best maintenance tips you can give us?

I might have to buy the bag just because Lawrence made me enjoy this video way too much

Make that in charcoal and take my money!

Side access in backpack is one of the best thing ever

lol at the corny jokes

Can you bring this inside the plane as a carry-on and fit top overboard?

Your first "pro" tip is a bad tip for 2 reasons, leaving the zips at the top makes the bag a bigger target for thieves and if you load the contents wrongly it's possible that the weight can pull the bag open by nudging the zippers. I've experienced both of these, it's better to put the zippers at the bottom, pull both to the top when you want to grab the laptop, then put both zippers down to one side. This also means that you are more likely to feel someone trying to grab the zipper and open your bag.

Do you think that putting so much stress on that main zipper is good idea? Capacity is humongous, so is possibly weight of the load. I owe two backpacks where I can get to the main compartment through the zipper on the back, but straps are connected to the frame of a backback. Here is different and straps are connected to the main flap... putting almost all of the weight and stress on that main zipper.

I'm a huge Peak Design geek and I've seen the evolution of your products from the start. I use a lot of them, but with backpacks - I will wait a year or two for v2's. I would not take this backpack on some 3-month journey through the woods to check out some chimpanzees... not that I want and could ever do, but still. ;) Cheers!

You are the best presenter for a bag!! I have been debating on which travel bag to buy for my trip to Japan and I've decided on this bag over a few others I've been debating on! You are the reason for my decision as well!!

This video is amazing and the reason I would want to buy Peak instead of the competition - this detailed video showing off every feature in detail instead of as a quick commercial made a huge difference in my buying decision!!

Damn!! After reading a few negative reviews, I've discovered the the shoulder straps suck and hurt your back/shoulders quite a bit if you have more than 30L worth of gear in the bag....I'm going to be backpacking across Japan for 2 whole weeks with one bag on my back the whole time. I do not want to have to carry my shit if it's going to kill my shoulders...I was debating on whether or not to do the 1 bag travel or a carry on suitcase and day pack....I'll keep your daypack in mind in case I can't find a proper 1 bag trip solution.

I'm confused, I have to buy the inside padding separately?

Who would have thought Seth Rogen knows so much about backpacks..

I have a crack a the best travel day pack....what do you think?

Is that a backpack, or a space shuttle?! Wow. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to figure out all the features... Can't wait to try mine!

excellent video about a fabulously designed backpack! very entertaining too!

Way out of my budget, but this has to be the most perfect backpack ever for my weekend photo getaways.

I love that guy. I want to see more of him, does not matter what he sells.

I love backpacks and great design.

It’s obvious that you guys love backpacks and do great design.

I just received my backpack and accompanying kit ... excellent work on great gear. Ticks all the boxes for me. Lucky I watched this vid as there were a couple of features noted I wasn’t aware of.

What next Peak Designs .... I’m waiting ...

It's almost like you guys put some thought into this.

My dogs went nuts over the squeaking sound. 👍🐾👏

a 20 minute video on a bag? That's insane, Who would watch tha... sits through the entire video

What lock do you use in this video? I cannot find it anywhere.

Will the 5l everyday sling fit in the backpack. I was the thinking this would be great to use travel to a destination and then have that has a daypack. I realize you could use the camera inserts but the sling has the possibility to be carried in different ways like a waist pack.

Is the zipper to main compartment which is holding the whole load safe enough? How long you think it will last before it breaks? I really like how the bag looks but really unsure about that zipper holding the whole load. Especially when you have photo gear inside.

This is like porn for bag lovers.

Really need to mount a tripod centered on the back. The only thing lacking is a hideable pouch at the bottom to support the legs. Otherwise this bag looks great.

What is the weight of the bag?

Why no YKK zipper on the main compartment??? this is a $300 plus backpack and supposedly premium materials were used... if its not YKK zipper on the main compartment or basically if its not YKK zippers on every zipper then it is not Premium materials period.

PLZ TAKE MY MONEY!!
But video is better in 1.25 speed, no offense 😂

holy shit this is like the best backpack ever made

Sure would like to see this bag carried by an average size woman...

no thanks. your products leave me flat.

I need this to know, will it fit my Asus ROG GL502VT in the laptop compartment? Size is 15.4 x 10.5 x 0.9 inches thanks!

There are so few rules for men's fashion but they are the only guides we have for how to dress, save SOs. Follow them. Belt and shoes should match.

I’m super excited about the new travel line, I just wish I would be using the bag on my upcoming trip in October!!

HM?

"It's not a big deal"😂👍

Alright, waiting for the tripod now guys

Oh, I'm loving the Sage!! I can't quite bring myself to buy from a non-EU location though - I'd have to pay an additional 25% in sales tax when the package reaches Sweden and that's just not doable for me right now 😭

perfect!

Hej guys from Peak Design. It looks cool would love to buy my third backpack from you guys. I just want one thing to be better. Your shoulder straps is hard on my shoulders.
Please make some kind of shoulder padding accessory available to buy and put on our PD backpack shoulder straps!

I'm so happy I backed this. My current travel backpack sucks

Hahahahaha! This guy needs to do all the videos. Period.

Lawrence needs an Oscar i dont care anymore

When I use bags that open at the back like this one, I typically take both arms out of the shoulder straps but keep the waist strap on and swing the bag around my waist, then open it. That way I can easily change lenses and do all sorts of thing. If I drop anything it will land inside the bag. With some packs (like the Lowepro Flipside 400) this works really well, with others it feels rather precarious, like something will fall out at anytime, or the whole thing will collapse and my gear will be all over the place. How does this work with the travel backpack?

Also, the product I REALLY hope you will make is a bike handlebar bag for DSLRs. There are a few of them out there, none of them is good. In the end I made my own and it kind of works, but I really wish there was a good option available over the shelf.

Will the sage colour be coming to other bags..?

This new guy for your Deep Dives and Setup videos is my favorite person ever.

Love the comments throughout the video! Keep it up!
