Peak Design is becoming a well-known accessories maker for photography, with their lines of bags, straps, camera clip (popular enough that competitors not provide attachment points on their own bags!). they have recently launched a kickstarter campaign for a new type of product, a travel bag:
The Travel Line: Versatile Travel Backpack + Packing Tools by Peak Design ? Kickstarter
I'm not advertising the product by any mean, simply passing along information. I've had the chance to test a pre-production prototype for a while and will be writing a full review of it. It's a very interesting product, just as well made as you'd expect from Peak Design, and full of clever elements.
The campaign ends in a few days, on September 20th. It will of course be possible to order the bag afterwards, but there is a significant discount on kickstarter if anyone is interested.
The takeaway is :
-this is a bag built for travel, sized as a carry-on for flights, so not a "small" bag
-it's also a photographic bag because you can use it with any of three camera cubes (small, medium, large). The cubes integrate well, easy access is offered via openings to the sides. There are provisions to carry a tripod, etc. It's not meant ONLY as a camera bag, so if you want quick access it might not be the best choice (rather look at their Everyday Backpack, or another brand. I'm a fan of Mindshift Gear's rotation180 myself).
-The camera cubes can be used standalone with the company's strap to turn them into a basic sling bag
-This being Peak Design, they see the travel bag as a system, so they include accessories such as packing cubes fitted to the bag, a tech/gadgets pouch, etc.
I'll be happy to answer questions if people are interested and want to know more!
