I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).
I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.
I like:
- The simplicity
- The design
- The large main compartment
- Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert
I don’t like:
- No water bottle holder
- No quick access to camera
- To few images showcasing the insert in the bag
Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?
Would you recommend something else?
A lot of photographers seem to like the Peak Design bags, that’s what led me to them. They don’t really have a water bottle solution but the quick access is definitely there and I like the organization setup a lot - very easy to customize. There wasn’t a price listed on the link you shared but I think the Peak Everday bag is about $260 USD.

The peak design straps a horrible, they cut into you and are really uncomfortable when the bag gets heavy.
I like a lot of Peak Design stuff, but their backpacks are designed for small people and are pretty heavy at the same time. I’m 6’4" and a bit barrel-chested, and the padded part of the straps stops right at my armpits, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Really? I’m 6’5" and I have the large one (I think 30L vs the smaller 20L?) and I don’t have any problems with it. Fits very well.
I did use the 20L. I have a similar issue with the 5L cross-body bag. I dunno, maybe it’s not just my height, but my shoulders, arms, and chest. It’s not a problem I have with the other backpacks I use from Timbuk2, Osprey, or Arc’teryx.
