Hey folks. Anyone use the normal pro tripod (not lite/tall) with 200-600 sony G lens or something similar. I can’t find any reviews per se. I have the aluminum travel tripod but it’s kinda wobbly sometimes. I heard there are major improvements with the new one but I wanted to know how much better it is.

For quite a while now I have been eyeing one of the tote bags for a personal item that will nicely fit on top of my roller while walking around, and can be used as a quick-access bag during travel/flights to carry and access my essentials. I hoped the Travel Weekender would fill this need, but it is simply much too large for my needs.

Does anyone have both of these bags and is able to give me a rundown of how they compare? I like the idea of the City Tote for its lightweight nature, although it is technically slightly too large to be a personal item on most flights (but it is certainly flexible/foldable enough to hide that fact).

On the other hand the design of the Everyday Tote seems more in line with other Peak Design bags I own and love (the 6L Everyday Sling and 20L Everyday Backpack) but seems like it might be a little less organized. These bags will purely be used to carry non-photography items such as my laptop, tablet, nintendo switch, and general essentials + some snacks.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Hello everyone!
I’ve been a Peak Design user for a few years, but only have the big brothers of the collection. I have a 45L Travel Backpack, a 30L Everyday Backpack V1 and a 20L Everyday Backpack V2.
I use the 20L as my EDC and it’s quite handy, but weirdly I find it difficult to carry my Nintendo Switch 2. It doesn’t fit horizontally on the mais compartment, with the dividers I don’t have enough space to carry it vertically, and the laptop compartment is quite snug in these models so it’s too tight to remove comfortably.

I was considering buying an Everyday Sling, mainly for my Switch 2 carry so I can get more use out of it, and also to try and minimise my EDC size.

My question is which Sling sizes can I considered.
The 10L seems like overkill for the Switch 2, at that point might as well get a backpack.

The 6L seems like a safe choice for the Switch 2 to fit with the joycons assembled, which I’d prefer. And my iPad Pro 11” would also fit in days I’d need it, which is a plus.

The 5L V1 seems interesting to maybe considered carrying the Switch 2 tablet inside the tablet sleeve and the joycons on the size pouches. And maybe the iPad can still fit?

The 3L seems like an utopian dream of an EDC but I doubt the Switch 2 even with the joycons detached would fit.

If anyone with either of these models has a Switch 2 and can give me some actual answers I’d really appreciate!

Thanks.

First thoughts, in hindsight my bottle might be....larger than average (at 26oz) the pocket is very slightly suspended off the bottom so if not in the bottle pocket then it can just about fit but even trying smaller bottles it's a tight fit (height wise).

This is my first 6 lr sling and it packs a lot smaller than I expected (my fault), was looking for a larger sling in general and this doesn't fit the bill for me, have already got the 12 on order.

Happy to answer any questions before these go back.

I have a field plate on my camera that I use with a capture clip on my backpack. On a recent hike, the field plate unscrewed itself and dropped the camera onto the ground, it started out as tight as I could get it with my fingers.

So now, I'll have to use a backup cuff looped around my backpack chest strap since I can't trust the field plate, which is annoying.

A suggestion that I thought up would be a new version of the field plate with teeth that engage when the thumb drive handle is stowed, preventing any unscrewing.

U might ask why would they when heroclip exists? Well maybe because it looks better and could be more sleek

In the video itself, the colorway looks dark blue/navy to my partially colorblind eyes, and I really like it. Can someone help me pinpoint which color it is?

Now that the City line js out, has Peter mentioned what they're going to be releasing next?

Is there anywhere in London that has the City bags in stock? I’d love to have a look at them instead of buying blind from the website

I got the capture clip and for the most of the time, it's great. But I am struggling with one thing:

I will sometimes have to take my backpack off (most of the time to chug some water). But because the camera is on the straps, I have to take it off first. And now that I have to hold the camera with one hand, I only have one hand left to take off the pack and do whatever I wanted to do with the backpack.

Does anyone have a crafty solution to this?

I also have Field Pouch as a fanny pack (for quick access to lenses) and I was thinking of adding capture clip to that and transfer the camera to it, when I need to take off the backpack, but it seems a bit of an overkill solution?
