I’m on the same boat regarding the Peak Design bag! (Also made a review/rant a while back 😂) I find that, while it’s made to be capable of holding a lot, once you utilize all the compartments, the experience of using it just goes downhill. “Quick Access” is not quick anymore when the bag is full. You still have to shuffle your items with your hand. That being said, it’s pretty good for “carrying” your gears from place to place (although the bag itself is a little heavy), when it comes to Quick Access, I find it frustrating to use.

[@ByteReview]

I’m hoping I can make it work for me but yeah right now it can be frustrating to use

[@fkw1239]

apple fanboyism

[@renegaderumi25]

Awesome vid as always Tom, thanks for sharing! The Cortex podcast had a State of the Hardware episode recently and they spoke about the peak design backpack, might be something in there worth listening to. Anyway, had a blast watching this video. Thanks again!

[@ByteReview]

Oh thanks! I’ll check it out

[@hotmintchoco]

Hi Tom! TIL that you actually don’t like to make these edc videos too often but heyyy consumerism haha, but tbh i really love it when you post EDC videos! Because of you, I actually bought quite a lot of the edc things you use, such as the Larq bottle, the orbit key, Apple Watch, this and that. So yeah you have one viewer who looks forward to your next edc video, good work once again!

[@ByteReview]

Glad you like them!

[@Cadence_W]

Sweet setup!

[@TamaraGirodie]

Great vid Tom! I always love you chill vibes, and the sea foam color you love so much really just sparkles in your videos. I do have a bag suggestion, though it won’t be for this particular EDC. I have been adoring the TomToc sling, specifically the smaller model that is meant to hold a switch in the back pocket. It has a fantastic build, is well designed, and durable. I used it as my going out bag for my entire 3 week trip to Japan and not only was it incredible to use, it still looks brand new! Plus there is a creator on their site to let you customize everything about the bag (which unfortunately wasn’t available at the time I got mine). Regardless, love the videos, can’t wait for the next one! ❤

[@ByteReview]

Oh thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check it out

[@moazhmi]

Nomatic Mck All the way , that bag pack is game changer

[@ByteReview]

Yeah I've heard amazing things about that one. Maybe I should have tried that 😩

[@meridanikole]

i discovered you like two days ago and you seem so down to earth and sweet. love your videos 💕

[@ByteReview]

🙏🏻

[@vesves_4]

I also finally got an OLED switch (the TOTK one) at last, and I'm so glad that I did. I've been playing handheld more often and the screen brightness and extra screen real-estate are really appreciated! I have about 55 hours in and still feel like I've gotten almost nothing done ^^; And I almost forgot to buy the Pocky mug so thank you for the reminder!

[@ByteReview]

Ahh thank you for picking it up 🙏🏻 and yes so worth it for handheld mode!

[@gr-os4gd]

I might have to try this out; my camera and lenses are larger and are an extremely snug fit in my Peak Design Everyday Sling V2 (10L).

[@Splin7er_the_ninja]

I would love to see where everything is stored in the bag! Great video as always. I remember your modded game boy pocket that didn’t hold a lot of battery. Did you get the switch online Gameboy?

[@scottmuir2385]

I completely agree with the Peak Design Every Day Backpack - I bought the 1st Gen 20L in 2019 for a European holiday - but honestly I just didnt get on with it. Aesthetically its great and it feels premium, but the side access I find problematic when the bag is loaded up & the straps (perhaps its just my body size) I just dont find that comfortable. I reverted back to my ThinkTank Airport Commuter as just all round better for me.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah I think I might need to find something else

[@gr-os4gd]

Those origami dividers would be so much nicer if they were thicker (more padded). That might compromize their folding ability though?

[@ByteReview]

Yeah I think you’re right

[@dean-fx]

I LOOOOOOVE this bag, and couldn't agree with you more on the smaller compartments just being such a great idea; but they don't quite work for me. Additionally I feel when you use these, it tightens up the laptop compartment and almost squeezes my laptop (14" MBP on the 20L). One other gripe I have on the bag (yes I actually like the bag, but figured I'd point out its faults); is that it gets absolutely filthy with like white scuff marks, just going from my office to my car. Not sure why the material is so sensitive, but yeah. Otherwise, fantastic bag! lol

[@ByteReview]

Haha yeah I’ve also noticed the laptop bit getting rather tight too

[@vaultfox]

Clicked for the green aesthetic thumbnails, stayed for the top tier content :D amazing videos, really love the vibe as well

[@krisg4134]

I love Pocky, and I’ve ordered the mug along with a few stickers.☺️ We Want More Pocky!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thanks for reading!☺️

[@ByteReview]

Thank you so much!

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

My EDC is my iPad Pro 2020 11 inch, Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, AirPods Pro 2, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, SSD Samsung T5, Backpack SWISSGEAR Scan Smart TSA Laptop, and USB Power Plug 18.5".

[@traceysmith311]

I'm actually thinking I will sell my 1st gen AirPods Pro as I've barely ever used them. I found the Beats Fit Pro and love them so much that I have two pairs, one to stay at home and one that stays in my bag wherever I go. I wanted to love AirPods, but they just don't stay in my ear like the Beats Fit Pro do, and I the Beats also have active noise cancellation, so they tick all my boxes! Great video once again, Tom!

[@PhilipZJY]

Great video as always! I don't use my camera often enough to justify getting a bag with special camera compartments/functionality (I've been using an Ogio Newt laptop bag for at least 4 years) but I'm wondering if it would give you more peace of mind to get a compact camera cube and put it in a laptop bag/anything that'll hold everything else in your tech bag aside from the camera equipment 🤔

[@ByteReview]

Yeah ive been using a camera cube with Fjallraven Kanken bag and in a way I actually prefer that!

[@coppensbram]

Try the Brevitē Jumper backpack. I switched to it from the PD one and so happy with it!

[@ByteReview]

I’ve heard nothing but good things about that one!

[@coppensbram]

@@ByteReview Yup I was skeptical but I absolutely love it now. We have similar gear (although I’m team Canon), here’s a quick vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHrOhGd8e5dqqqc

[@ChrisFreitag]

I can not believe how much more useful and practical the Brevite Jumper has been. It feels like an actual everyday backpack. I get a surprising amount of gear in the camera department.

[@darrenhaken]

Where did you get your prints on the wall near where you hang the backpack?

[@juliancanalesphoto]

Been a really big fan of the Shimoda Explore v2, really great for Camera gear and TONS of pockets, but a little overkill for EDC, for that my go to is the DB Journeys bags or even an Aer SF bag. I have a Peak Design bag but I'm also not the biggest fan. Fantastic vid Tom :)

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for the bad advice! And glad you enjoyed it

[@juliancanalesphoto]

@@ByteReview aw man I'm sorry the advice was bad man!

[@MotoWata]

I'm watching from Japan! very nice video!

[@ByteReview]

Thank you very much!

[@LasseVagstherKarlsen]

Those "origami" dividers inside is exactly what I don't like with my Peak Design Messenger back as well. Granted, that one is top-loaded, which means stuff won't randomly fall out when you access it, but I don't feel like things are properly lined up. The camera body with a lens on also takes up a bit too much space due to how these dividers have to be set up, so all in all the back will be sold. Hope you can figure out how to properly use it though, they're quality bags.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah the quality is stunning but the folders are just tricky to get right

[@Tvennet]

THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for openly say that Peak Design bags and their origami dividers just feel wrong! I can’t understand how people love these bags so much. I have the same exact feeling with the PD Tote Pack. I love the design of the bag, but as soon as I put my camera in, it just doesn’t feel quite right.

[@ByteReview]

You’re welcome! Can’t help but feel like it’s awesome on paper but in practice I just can’t get it working well

[@robertoandres4642]

I have this same bag, and I have the same thought on how really safe is my gear. I just wanted to suggest to you, I have my AirTag under de laptop sleeve. You see, you can undo the belcro part that change according to de size of the laptops and hide the AirTag underneath.

[@ByteReview]

Oh that’s great! Thanks

[@croppixelmedia]

I had that same problem with the PD bag. I just couldn’t get down with the design, I ended up getting the Peter McKinnon everyday bag and couldn’t recommend it enough.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah that Peter McKinnon bag looks awesome, maybe I should have gone for that

[@Maarschel]

I‘m not quite sure if it’s still applies to you: There’s a repair program regarding the crackling sound in the Gen 1 AirPods Pro.

[@ByteReview]

I went for it but I was two months out 😫 they wanted £180 to fix them which is just silly

[@windycity92]

So im sort of in the same situation with the PD tote bag..i love the aesthetics of it but i dont know how to make it work for me in a realistic way. Still trying to figure out the organization flaps lol great videos!

[@ByteReview]

Yeah I wish there was a decent how to or some good examples online 😫

[@ReganShorter]

I have the tote bag and feel the same way! It just feels so tight once you fill it, but somehow things are still loose inside of it. And the bottom is impossible to use with the little lip on each side. I kind of regret getting it :(

[@chuckrfuller]

I wanted to let you know that you are definitely using the shelves the wrong way. I would turn two of the shelves and make them vertical. this will allow you to put your camera in the middle with a lens connected to it immediately. This will also give you four shelves for prime or smaller lenses. Just make sure to put your 24-70mm/15-35mm lens which are basically in the middle with your camera. Also your Nintendo can lay against the side. I hope this helps.

[@ByteReview]

This does help! I'll give it a go, thank you!

[@zehneuroaufmtisch]

Hi Tom, Thank you so much for your videos! About the AirPods: I had the same issue and (at least in Germany) there is a free replacement Programm for AirPods Pro with that issue. I got mine replaced for free. Maybe, this will work for you as well

[@ByteReview]

I tried but apple said I was two months too late ☹️

[@TyrantTiger85]

Funny I'm still using my OG Samsung Bluetooth earbuds from YEARS ago and it's still like brand new... I even bought the new pro ones from Samsung and did a comparison and decided to return the pro ones because I was getting a better fit on my ears from the OG which led to better sound.

[@ByteReview]

That's awesome they've lasted so long!

[@Damiondabbles]

What’s that skate deck on the wall?

[@Banoro]

You should check out the Beats Studio Buds + if you’re looking for new wireless earbuds! The sounds quality is close to the AirPods Pro, and the translucent design would be right up your alley! Also they’re cheaper than the AirPods Pro and even the AirPods 3rd gen! Definitely worth a look :)

[@ByteReview]

Oh those things are sick!

[@Sandilini]

You could take your AirPods to the Apple Store and have them test them. Some gen 1 AirPods Pro had a defect. Mine did and they replaced them for free despite no longer having apple care because it was a known defect.

[@ByteReview]

I did take them in and they just said they're broken and there's not much they can do - a repair was £180! So at that price I'll just grab a new set...

[@lennartuecker]

What is better on the fx3 compared to the a7iv? As a photographer I‘m not that into video stuff but I see many ppl making the switch recently.

[@ByteReview]

It’s a much more video oriented camera, so the body is video first, lots of holes for screwing attachments to it etc! Barely any rolling shutter, 120FPS 4K, too handle for audio etc etc - lots of stuff tbh!

[@croppixelmedia]

Just throwing my opinion out there. If you’re not that into video I’d say go with the a7iv because the FX3 is in the cinema line & you’d probably get more enjoyment/results out of the a7iv. Disclaimer I’ve never used the FX3 for photos so I could be wrong but just one opinion.

[@lennartuecker]

@@croppixelmedia thanks for the comment, but I‘m already shooting with an a7iii. The question was just out of interest. :)

[@max-mkl]

Im currently using my nothing ear one for the gym and when Im on the go but I do have to say after 3 years they start to do some weird things every now and then. The sound fades out from left to right and then the reconnect. and paring them with my M1 Mac book ai sis nearly impossible takes ages. switching between devices is really annoying. Sound is fine and I do love the design. My old air pods died that's Why I went for them. I do think that the life time of in hears is shockingly bad. Air pod/ pro etc after 2/3 years they die and that's not to care. A lot of my friends have the same issues.

[@ChrisFreitag]

My answer for my Peak Designs Everyday backpack was to sell it. I absolutely loved the way it looked but despised the way it worked. The top opening and laptop part were also too difficult to get in and out of. It’s “peak design” was being the ultimate form over function object ever created.

[@ByteReview]

Oh man, I’ve not heard anything good since I said I wasn’t a fan of it! Maybe I should have gone for the Peter McKinnon bag 😫

[@MilkKomsonChannel]

Dude! I made a video about how frustrating it is to use (in Thai) … Still nobody has bought it from me 😂 Maybe this is why some people online praise it so much hahaha 😂

[@harvey.c]

whats that font youre using?

[@dinis984]

Anybody help: I'm thinking on buying an iPad, and this week at a store near me there's an M2 iPad Pro 11' 128gb that's only 50€ more than an M1 iPad Air 256gb. What would you guys choose? The Pro with the refresh rate and newer processor, or the Air with more storage? Thank you in advance, guys

[@ByteReview]

At that small of a price difference I'd probs lean towards the pro, assuming 128GB is enough for you.

[@dinis984]

@@ByteReview Thank you very much. Yeah I already have a Mac so the iPad will work mainly in the same way you use it. I was more concerned with storage space with Genshin Impact in mind and some other games, but I'd assume 128 is enough for my use case. Thank you! Love your videos.

[@kashibansari1]

I need one tab to study 😭

[@Siva_Sathappan]

Hi Tom, love the tech and the whole theme you have going on. However, instead of getting the bag in black if you had got it in white it would have matched your whole color scheme going on. Although I’m not sure if they do offer that bag in white.

[@ByteReview]

Sadly they don't! And while you're right I pretty much just wear black all the time haha

[@lilyyt8627]

Ive had this backpack for a year and I can say the side pockets are great for quick lens changeovers but the feel of constant rocking of gear inside annoys me. I love the look of it and how it’s waterproof but I’m looking for a new camera. I think it’s the perfect everyday bag not camera bag.

[@shaungreer3350]

My only question is why do you need to carry all of this every day? like what does your day to day routine look like where you need to carry all of this?

[@ByteReview]

A lot of it is day dependent! But a good example would be a full day of shooting video for a client

[@adden2242]

wow a g-master lens I could never afford that 😔😔

[@ByteReview]

Took me many years of Photography and film making to work up to it!

[@JamesLauricia7]

Early 🎉

[@Fernyg323]

More watch videos !

[@bryans8656]

I'm not a professional photographer so that bag would be considerable overkill for me, and it's too gimmicky for my taste. I have a padded briefcase style bag for business travel, and I carry my iPad Mini 6, M2 MacBook Air, iPhone 14, UGREEN 100W charger, Docktech hub, and the necessary cables.

[@Mavinceyou]

I bought for 35Euro 7 Years ago a Backpack from a No Name Reseller … I used it every Day … It’s even all functionally yet … But so much Money for a Backpack?… I invest it in my next Apple Product … Sure!

[@boringgames3625]

mechanical watch trap??? xd

[@thomassmith2577]

Edc videos are some of my faves and I love your channel, but when every (or 90%) of the edc items are displayed in the thumbnail, i just scroll on because everything I needed to know about the video is displayed for me in the thumbnail.

[@ByteReview]

Fair enough!It’s a delicate balance cause of it was just a bag, even more people would scroll on haha

[@thomassmith2577]

Makes sense! And I really do love your content though. Seeing a new video from you is always a plus for me.
