Fantastic review! The best one I’ve seen for this pack! You answered questions I couldn’t even find on their website. I just bought this pack and a medium and small camera cube, a sling lite and a capture. Thank you so much!
I'm really glad to help out
Thank you so much for adopting the proper camera distance in order to make a useful review!! Most channels seem to not understand that.
I’ve learned that the hard way
Thank you Mr Abbott
Thanks a lot for a good overview!)
You're welcome.
Solid Review, very well done. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
You're welcome.
The best video of this bag !
Thank you!
I got mine weeks ago and I have discovered things on the backpack watching this video.
That's why the video is so long. There are so many little features on the bag.
Excellent review, Dustin. I have a Peak Design camera bag with shoulder strap and it's great. I can even slip a carbon fibre tripod across the top and beneath the cover flap. They make great products. Thanks again - will keep this review in mind for when I purchase a camera backpack.
They do make solid stuff!
It’s been all too long since I’ve seen an upload that caught my interest, but as ever, great review haha. I ended up on the Kickstarter for this after a couple of years with the large shoulder bag, and they’ve both been pretty perfect for my everyday use. I end up grabbing this out the car or house more often than the shoulder bag now. The straps aren’t always the Most comfortable with 40 kilos, but it works well, more so with the belt straps. Keep up the great work!
Whoa! 40 kilos? That's a lot of weight to pack.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Haha agreed, it's strong enough to do it so far, even if i aren't lmao. if i'm going that far up in weight though i'll normally take out the large camera bag and use it a large 'tasmanian tiger' bag for wild camping. three bags for different uses but that is by far the most useful bag so far. keep up the great work bud
Thorough review!!
How does the backpack work when piggybacked onto a suitcase handle?
Are the straps close enough or adjustable for narrow or sloping shoulders?
Hi Jeffrey. There's a wide range of adjustment on the straps, so I don't there is a problem there. The trolley strap on the back of the backpack works nicely when attached to a suitcase handle.
Nice in depth video, as always Dustin!
I'm not really convinced by the "box in a box" design though...
On a daily basis, I use the classical Lowepro Protactics, and an Atlas athlete for hiking / traveling.
We'll see if the modular approach to interior organization lasts. This bag has been very popular.
Got tat bag 2 days ago. Exited to test it on my trip to Mexico next week
Enjoy. I use mine all the time for overnight/weekend trips.
Hi Dustin,
Nice detailed review!
I was tossed between this PD pack vs. Atlas Athlete (Adventure is too big but works for others who need that much space). I chose the Atlas in the end.
If you have time, do check it out as the founder, Allan, is all about personalization and customization. He’s keeping it small to service his customers well. And he’s a professional photographer like yourself.
It doesn’t have that office professional look but what it does have is a built in ICU that is an expandable origami design.
Pros:
1) comfort, I think this most important;
2) flexibility, can handle gear and non-gear with removable hip belt and you can choose your belt size as well as it has two pack size, depending on your torso length;
3) high quality built all around;
4) expandable capacity, it has a built in ICU that can hold 10L of gear and for non-gear, it can expand to 30L or compressed to 20L if used as EDC;
Cons:
1) price higher than PD pack here but if you remove the built in ICU, they are close but still higher;
2) the laptop sleeve is better on Adventure but for Atlas pack, it cannot fit my 15” so I need to put it into a slim sleeve and on top of the camera where I think is best position for distributed weight
It was a tough decision as you stated, PD make quality and well thoughtful design. I may pick it up down the road for professional office environment.
Disclaimer: I don’t work for Atlas but just a big fan as well as I have lots of PD gear.
Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback.
The Atlas is a much better Adventure bag. It has a real harness and built to carry 40L worth of gear. PD is more of a travel bag, but unfortunately they have no idea how to design a harness to carry heavy load a long way. At least this bag has a hip belt that is bigger than a 1" strap. However, it looks very minimal, maybe carry 25 lbs for travel or short periods of time.
Take a look at any expedition backpack built to carry 40 or 50 lbs and the harness looks very different.
Dustin, your review is very much like everyone else, just opening every compartment. Do something different by actually loading it with gear and clothes so we get an idea of how much can fit in it. Load it up then put it on your back so we can see how it rides. Think about it. You didn't once mention if this bag was comfortable to you. Or can you adjust the harness, does it have load lifters? What good is it if it can hold all your gear, but it's a pain to carry? When you see a car review, yes they show you around the car, but they also drive it, right? Here you didn't even sit in the car, you just pointed to features like every other RUclipsr does. Sure lots of details on the pockets, but put something in them so we get a sense of scale.
You have some good bones, but you can do so much better.
I came to the same conclusions and chose Atlas as well.
Yass 😁
Great video of this back, got mine a few months ago. Great back to use with just one minor downside, the straps over my shoulder tends to slide of unless I use the straps that combine the two shoulder strap.
That's true. They will start to splay out if you don't use the chest tensioner.
Dustin thanks for making this review! Super helpful and "packed" with details! Maybe for the next one you can include a birds eye view shot too so we can get the real perspective of the bag? Also adds for different angles in a long video!
Shooting with multiple cameras and angles creates a lot more work - which is tough when I release three videos per week and this isn't my full time job. Maybe some day.
great review as usual. but can you attach a tripod to this backpack Dustin ? thanks
Sure, there are a couple of ways. It has criss-cross straps where you can attach it to the front of the backpack, or a setup on the side for side mounting (which works better with more compact tripods, IMO).
Question: Will a gripped pro DSLR like a 1DX II or D5 fit into the gear compartment on its side?
It will because you can choose the depth by adjusting the dividers.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Thank you. It's it padded well enough for heavy loads? Would it be comfortable to hike with all day with a 10+kg DSLR kit?
Nice review. By the way - says 4k in the description, but 4k wasn’t available to me....
That’s dependent on your bandwith and RUclips. It is definitely available in 4K
Does the black bag include with peak design backpack or sale separately?
You choose what modules you want. The medium cube was one that I selected.
It's good function backpack but it's very costly when compare with Pro Tactic 450 II.
Most all Peak Design products are priced fairly steeply, but they are also extremely durable and well thought out. I haven't used the bag you reference, but I have used a lot of other bags and note a lot of clever little extras built into PD products that keep me personally using them.
@@DustinAbbottTWI yes, a friend of mine also cheer me up. Will try to use it in near future. Thanks for your in dept review : )
A bag with bags inside it 🤔 I would need 10 of those bag inserts.
LOL
Have you used this pack or did you just get it and do this "review" on it? I'm asking because you did not reference anything as you had used it.
I've used it for multiple overnight trips as my sole piece of luggage and as a way to transport gear for day trips. It works great, though I always find that PD straps are a little less padded than what I like when the bag is packed really heavy.
True, it is nice, well designed bag. But al the features do add up in weight. Over 3 kg!!! ( with a camera cube) that is a lot for a Carry -on bag. Most airlines allow max 10 kg.
i fully loaded the bag for 1 week travel (fully loaded PD medium packing cube & PD small packing cube, 1 shoe bag, 1 tablet, 1 pouch for toiletries stuff, 1 thule tech pouch) and i walked into the plane with it on my back. No problem at all. AirAsia limit it to 7kg for carry on
I have noticed that airlines rarely look at backpacks. A pull along small suitcase often gets tagged on the jetway, but a backpack seems to pass inspection easier.
@@DustinAbbottTWI not passing inspection easier but walked pass the airline ground staff unnoticed. Hehe.
Why carry heavy bag contents when you can roll them in a rolling carry on?
In some cases rolling is great. In some cases, however, you don't have the chance to roll (I live in a country with snow for six months of the year, for example), and thus rolling gear and extending handle both adds weight and takes up storage space from the bag.
Peak design doesn’t mention that the bag is 45 liters only when the expansion zipper is unzipped. Otherwise it is only 35 liters.
It’s the 3rd sentence on their webpage for the bag: “Meets international carry-on size requirements, but expands to be a 45L gear-hauler and collapses to be a 35L day bag, making it unmatched for 1-bag travel.”
The fact that the tags are still on it shows he’s just buying to ‘review’ and returning it like a ghetto Walmart shopper 😂
I actually still own it and have used it many dozens of times.
I just got mine today, I think it's a lot of money for what it is. It's nicely made but overpriced and overrated.
That was my first impression, too, but as I started to use it and found more and more clever design elements, my appreciation for it grew.
Put the cat in the bag and retrieve it out from the sides pls...🙊🙊🙏
LOL
Man, you've put zero effort into this one... didn't even take the tags off in order to at least pretend you've used it.
How can you call this a review, when you never tried to pack it (if not actually travel with it), you have no idea what it's like to use it, no notion of how comfortable it is to carry.
This could be called a first look, a presetation, but by no means is it a review.
With all due respect, I've been using this bag ever since for a lot of purposes, but most often as my overnight/short trip bag. I stand by my conclusions.
