Design and Aesthetics:
First impressions matter, and the Peak Design 30L doesn't disappoint. The sleek and minimalistic design appeals to my aesthetic sensibilities, while its rugged build instills confidence in its ability to withstand the rigors of travel. The weatherproof exterior is a game-changer, keeping my valuable equipment safe from unexpected rain showers or dusty environments.
Comfort and Ergonomics:
A comfortable backpack is crucial when you're constantly on the move. The Peak Design 30L excels in this department, featuring padded shoulder straps, and a well-padded back panel.
Versatility and Flexibility:
Whether I'm hiking through challenging terrain or navigating bustling city streets, the Peak Design 30L proves its versatility. The option to expand the backpack's capacity is a lifesaver, accommodating unexpected gear additions or souvenirs collected along the way. The external attachment points are a blessing for securing tripods or even a drone, enhancing my creative possibilities without compromising convenience.
Final Thoughts:
In my journey as a travel photographer and filmmaker, the Peak Design 30L Travel Backpack has proven itself to be an indispensable asset. Its thoughtful design, durability, and user-centric features cater perfectly to the demands of my creative lifestyle. From capturing breathtaking landscapes to documenting vibrant cultures, this backpack seamlessly integrates into my workflow, allowing me to focus on what truly matters-telling compelling visual stories. If you're a fellow creative constantly on the move, the Peak Design 30L is an investment worth making.
Full disclosure, Peak Design reached out to me and asked if I would like to review some of their gear which of course I said yes to. I was sent items in exchange for my honest opinion and review. As with everything on my channel I only review gear I would actually use.

This looks really nice, but I do already have the 45L (which I _love_ for travelling) and the 30L Everyday one (for every day). By now I _could_ have gotten this one instead of the Everyday 30L - but having both might be too much things to have. And the 45 is also good as a carry on, still - even together with the Messenger bag as a personal item (below the seat) - my favourite travel combination.

[@SimonSonghurst]

Hard to select the perfect bag. Well for me anyway. So many options!

[@burnn3]

Have you actually tested the horiztonal thru strap (at the top) on a suitcase? Traveling through the airport with the bag vertical is most ideal. Also, I was literally emailing PeakDesign about the medium cube + 3L sling combo. And you sold it for me!

[@SimonSonghurst]

Works either way perfectly for me. Did you buy the bag in the end?

[@thanawatniponsukchot7320]

Love your review style 👍

[@SimonSonghurst]

I appreciate that!

[@jirivondrous3856]

Nice review, thanks. I'm on the edge of buying one :-D What size is the sling that fits there so nicely please?

[@SimonSonghurst]

Glad the review helped. It's the 3L version. I'm planing on reviewing this and others soon.

[@jirivondrous3856]

It sure did, thanks and looking forward to it ;-)

[@emecea]

Is it necessary to increase the capacity of the bag to install the camera cube?

[@SimonSonghurst]

Yes you need to put the backpack in expansion mode. Otherwise, the cube won't fit.

[@romeuhilgenstieler2875]

Hi. Could a 6l sling fit in this bag? Thanks.

[@SimonSonghurst]

@romeuhilgenstieler2875 Unfortunately not. 3L fits perfectly though with the medium camera cube.

[@valentinsarariu]

Hi, do you know if a large camera cube v1 fit in this 30l backpack?

[@SimonSonghurst]

@valentinsarariu - Yes it will in expansion mode.

[@eprohoda]

How are you?!Like! this is excellent - Simon,:))

[@SimonSonghurst]

Hey, thanks!

[@cmg11235]

lots of nice details and design ideas ... but looks too heavy....

[@SimonSonghurst]

Depends on your load out. Just clothing it's totally fine but as with most camera gear it can get weighty quickly in a bag that size. Medium packed camera cube and clothing its not so bad.

[@AzrealJ]

It’s clunky too, when it’s packed out you have to take out everything to get to you interior storage
