Peak Design Mobile Review

Dustin Abbott

November 14th, 2023

It’s no secret that I enjoy certain Peak Design products. All of my cameras have those red anchors hanging off them, as I enjoy Peak Design’s straps and carry solutions. I often use their Travel Tripod, and my overnight bag is a Peak Design Travel Backpack. The reason why I like Peak Design products is A) they are designed as a system, to work together, rather than as just standalone products and B) they come with a lifetime warranty. In a culture where so many products are only designed to last a few years, it is refreshing that PD’s products are built to last for the long haul. That was a big part of why I was interested in their approach to mobile, as it seems I burn through mobile cases every six months and they are literally ready for the trash. I’ve spent several months with Peak Design’s mobile ecosystem, and – no surprise – I’ve been impressed with a lot of the fine details. You can get my full thoughts in the video review below.
