Peak Design's new roller bag is here

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Peak Design has been one of my go-to brands for camera-carrying solutions in the past decade or so. I have reviewed every bag they've ever made.

​

Backpacks, camera straps, and sling bags have always been their thing, but many people wondered if they'd ever create a carry-on roller.

​

Today is that day.

​

The new Roller Pro uses an ultra-slim carbon telescoping handle to minimize intrusion into the bag's main compartment, and a new made-to-fit XL Camera Cube allows photographers to carry up to a 400mm f/2.8 lens.

​

I've summarized the bag's main features on my site and dug up the all-important internal dimensional specifications of the roller and the new XL Camera Cube so that you can see whether it would suit the gear you need to carry.

​

Roller Pro was launched as a Kickstarter campaign but met its target in five minutes. In fact, it blew through the $ 3 million mark in the first few hours, which is mind-blowing! The first batch will begin shipping to initial backers in May.

​

While I hope to get a review done as soon as possible, pre-sale samples of the bag are few, and I don't expect to have one in my hands before the end of the Kickstarter. I'd usually say wait for my review, but this might mean missing out on the significant pre-sale discounts. Your choice.

​

I do look forward to testing this out as soon as possible!

​

Cheers,

​
Dan

A black-chinned hummingbird from last year's workshop. Hello Reader, Last year, I led a fantastic photo workshop alongside Aaron Baggenstos to photograph the beautiful hummingbirds of British Columbia. We stayed in a beautiful mountain lodge, ate great food, made new friends, and shot thousands and thousands of photos. It was such a blast that we're doing it again in June, and we still have a couple of spaces available. A stunning male calliope hummingbird from last year's workshop. A female...
