Kickstarter: Peak Design’s The Travel Line Backpack — 4 Days Left

Featured Video Play Icon

There’s only 4 days left in Peak Design’s Kickstarter campaign for The Travel Line: Versatile Travel Backpack + Packing Tools. The main product is a 45L travel-oriented backpack with a plethora of features — a versatile carry-on sized bag, with great access and organization — and it looks great!

What’s neat are the “packing tools” — cubes and pouches that make it easier to organize and pack. Camera cubes (in small, medium, or large) have dividers and extra padding for protection of your camera gear. A very functional travel backpack design — we’re huge fans of Peak Design!

They’ve already raised over $4 million dollars through their successful Kickstarter campaign, and there are only four days left to back this project. Pledging $235 gets you the 45L backpack; $399 gets you the backpack plus an assortment of packing tools. Camera cubes start at $429. You would save 20% vs retail by supporting them in the campaign.




New Street Price on EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM: $1999


We now have a street price on the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM brand new from an authorized Canon dealer. The price is $1999.00 with free shipping, and it comes with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

You can also check out our street prices on a full assortment of Canon cameras and lenses.



EF 600mm III Pre-Order $12999 or EF 600mm II Street Price $10399


The most pre-ordered lens (from last week’s announcements) is surprisingly the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM. Several retailers are reporting a higher than expected number of pre-orders placed. Impressively, Canon’s managed to make this new lens almost 2 pounds (22%) lighter than its predecessor.

With a delivery date already pushed into December, we are predicting that supply of this lens will be limited. If you want to receive the lens shortly after release, we recommend a pre-order.

The new lens release has also increased interest in our street price of $10399.00 on the older Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM. Still a great lens and a $2600 savings over the new release. We don’t expect the price on the old lens will decrease, even with the introduction of the new lens.
