You may recall that back in September, the Peak Design team launched a Kickstarter campaign for an all-new Outdoor line of backpack and sling bags tailored toward the likes of adventurous photographers. Approaching nearly $3.5 million in funding after seeking a $50,000 funding goal, it’s safe to say that the campaign was a complete success.
Folks who know Peak Design also know that the brand makes wonderfully high-quality photography gear, ranging from camera bags to camera straps, and everything in between. Occasionally, Peak Design even collaborates with other brands, and that’s precisely what we’re here to talk about.

We talk about Topaz Photo AI a lot around here when we mention photo editing software, and that’s because Topaz Labs has built a name for itself in the photography community for developing AI-based software that can work real magic on images that might otherwise seem unsalvageable.
A feature that I use all the time when recording videos on my iPhone is the still capture button. This button allows you to capture a still frame as a photograph file even as you continue recording a video, and it doesn’t interrupt the video recording process in any way.
In addition to the recently released CameraModes jailbreak tweak that iOS developer PoomSmart recently released for controlling which shooting modes do and don’t appear in your device’s native Camera app, the developer has also released a new and free jailbreak tweak called EModeji that replaces the names of your Camera app’s shooting modes with Emojis.
There are several different modes you can utilize in the Camera app for capturing photographs and recording videos, but people seldom use every single one, resulting in what feels like a bloated Camera app experience that some users may feel like paring down to a less-bloated state.
Peak Design has long been known for its ambitious storage bags that suit not only everyday travel in almost any setting, but also for its photographer-conscious bag layouts that make storing camera equipment, accessories, and a laptop especially easy. They now offer a wide range of backpacks, slings, duffels, and smaller organization packs.
Apart from exposure-changing and color-grading software like Adobe Lightroom, Topaz Photo AI is perhaps one of my most-used tools when editing RAW photographs fresh off the camera sensor. Its powerful AI-based photo enhancement features can help polish even some of the slightest photographer mistakes, making a ‘halfway there’ photograph look more like a completed masterpiece.
Back in April, Peak Design announced a new Coyote tan colorway for many of the brand’s popular camera straps. Given the positive response to the new color, Peak Design has now decided to double down on the new colorway, applying it to more products.
At least one model from the iPhone 17 lineup in 2025 is rumored to bring a variable aperture for better control over the depth of field.
The team over at Peak Design are out with some entirely new products this week that will benefit frequent travelers, especially those who like pack for lengthy journeys.
