When it comes to using camera gear, our carrying and mounting systems are truly paramount to being efficient in many shooting scenarios. While many brands have attempted to perfect a “one-size fits all” system, only one in my opinion hits the nail on the head for all my needs. In his latest video, fellow YouTuber and Sony shooter, Jason Vong, agrees with me that the Peak Design system flat out works. Individually the products are great and high quality, but used together they provide a seamless experience found with no other product line on the market.
In this video, Jason brings us along and shows us the utility and versatility of the Peak Design system through his use. Jason does a great job of going through many of the different variations and uses of the lineup. While this video is aimed at mirrorless shooters, I can personally say with confidence and from experience that DSLR shooters can utilize the exact setups used in the video with no issues. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to get the most out of your accessories then this video is worth the watch.

So is this taken directly from Peak Designs PR release or did you make that up??
It really is the perfect tagline (just cut "some of")....This should be marked "advertorial" sheesh.....
I said that because Jason Vong uses his Peak Design accessories for primarily weddings and I myself use them extensively in the mountains. Just shows how versatile good gear is .
Dude, I have the messenger bag for weddings, and it's so damn good. Plus my thinktank three lens bag was dated. Bonus, brides, and bridesmaids complement it. Any added love to your style/professional look is gold.
I'm not huge on aesthetics in terms of getting the job done but in this case it's an added bonus!
Hey, I have the bag. I tried it and found not conducive to the way I work. So it is used as a messenger bag/briefcase.
Maybe if an editor wrote it instead of linking influencer/spokesman/pitchman/shill gushing about a product, wouldn't have annoyed me as much. Just that the whole youtube star hardcore commercial aspect of your ad / article made me cringe.
To misquote Chinatown "Forget about it Jake. It's the internet."
Peak Design's clip is the worst product I've used ever, sorry. If it takes me more than a minute to mess with it to clip in a camera its not worth a penny.
It might not be for everyone. I've never had an issue clipping it though maybe it wasn't adjusted accordingly?
I even told the Peak Design people at a PPE and they even admitted the problem to me, which was bold and have respect for them of doing so too. If I had their time to take my suggestions to re-design the clip to actually clip in much easier and faster I'm more than wiling to help them out. But as for the other products I agree they're good. I'm debating for the bag from peak or FroKnowsPhoto bag...
Have to respect people owning up to design flaws!
I have to agree its a great concept but a bad design. I also dont agree with every time you come out with a new product you go to Kickstarter for funding. If the product is doing so well you would be able to get a loan or an investor to help build the product.
It's honestly cheaper to raise it on kickstarter for marketing. They take whatever the percentage could easily be counted as a marketing budget which I think would be cheaper. If it does very well there it could have more exposure to people not in their network/fans, etc. making more new customers.
I don't get that (re Kickstarter) - why use outdated methods of funding when there are newer methods that allow you to get ongoing product feedback as you finalise the design process?
How so? What is the issue?
You can't easily clip in without a struggle or going in very slowly to clip it in place. It's not like that spider belt thingy where its seamlessly clip or something. The clip is meant to keep your equipment secured and make it easy to attach/remove from the clip. Hence why I use a black rapid. I got the peak design clip to test it as a 2nd camera option for weddings, which was way too slow to shoot with both and highly recommend a double black rapid strap instead.
I'll admit that it doesn't clip in smoothly (since it has to be aligned pretty much perfectly, but I also don't have any real issues with it either. It works great for me.
The good thing with the spider holster (from what I have seen) is that it is very easy to attach it. But I'm not so sure how it would work on a backpack for example?
I guess like all things they all have their pros and cons :)
Why is it that so many self-styled, self directed video bloggers have adopted such an irritating on-camera persona? Just back off and present the content without all the histrionics and attempt at forced personality.
Yeah, he's super animated and a lot to take in sometimes. Being over the top get's eyes on you.
I purchased a Peak Design Slider Strap and I couldn't love it more.Dollar for dollar, it may be the best piece of gear that I bought this year. Distributes the weight of the gear, hangs and adjustable levels, doesn't draw attention with loud logos or scream photographer, bonus that it is super easy to remove for when you are shooting with a tripod.
I own their Slide Lite and it's easily the best strap I own.
The bag style, design, color and material seems to be a knock off of Artisan & Artist designs from a few years ago, too.
