Peak Design: For Photographers On-The-Go

When Peter Dering set off on a four-month trip around the world in 2010, he found that carrying a large camera with him was a bigger chore than he anticipated. Upon returning home, he began designing a device that would make carrying photography gear far easier for artists like him. After 10 months of hard work, he put his invention, the Capture, on Kickstarter in hopes of gaining the support of fellow photographers to get his product off the ground. The Capture was an instant success and since then, Peak Design has continued to design and build convenient carry solutions for all travelers, commuters, creatives and adventurers. Customers actively participate in the design process as Peak Design still works through crowdfunding, allowing for more risk-taking innovation and feedback from users on each product. Their brand is completely carbon neutral and 1% of all revenue is donated to environmental nonprofits. The designs are protective and offer ultimate organization, built to solve problems while keeping photography gear completely accessible. Their products have even received awards from publications like Carryology, Gear Patrol, Men's Journal, National Geographic and The Verge.

Versatility That Meets All Travel Needs

Abt carries various Peak Design products, including their iconic Capture clip. The Capture can clip to any strap to hold digital cameras safely with a built-in security lock. When you slip your camera out to capture the perfect photo, all you need to do is press the quick-release button. The Capture clips in four different directions to enable easy lens changes and it's completely weatherproof and rust-resistant. Peak Design also makes multiple styles of bags, including backpacks, messenger bags, sling bags and field pouches in various sizes. Peak Design backpacks and messenger bags were initially created for photographers, but these products are also great for everyday use or carry-on luggage. They can fit a combination of DSLR bodies, lenses, drones, controllers and camera accessories, sometimes multiple at a time so you can have everything you need in one pack. For everyday use, they can hold a laptop, tablet, notebooks, a jacket, shoes, your phone, wallet, keys, passport, sunglasses and more. This is possible due to the multiple pockets, dividers and sleeves inside Peak Design backpacks and messenger bags.

Traveling with this many items can be a heavy load to bear, so Peak Design makes their bags extremely easy to carry. With features like external carry straps, quick-connecting sternum straps, padded shoulder straps and padded grab handles, you can hold your backpack or messenger bag however is most comfortable. Peak Design sling bags and field pouches are designed to hold cameras too, but are smaller in size, minimalistic and built for those bringing less on the go. The sling bag and field pouch can be worn across your chest or on your hip. One of the most important accessories for a photographer is the tripod, but unfortunately, these devices are not typically easy to transport from place to place. As a solution, Peak Design also has its own line of weather-resistant travel tripods, which are half the size. Their tripods are easy to set up, the legs deploying in seconds, and they offer vibration damping and camera stability. They can even be used with cell phones. Abt also carries Peak Design cell phone cases, camera neck straps, wrist straps and clutch hand straps.
