Peak Design

Photography has been present in different periods of my lifetime (read more about that journey). I bought my first motorcycle in June 2018: the Ducati Monster 821. You could say that bike kickstarted my self-employment as it is now. And with rediscovering my passion for photography, simultaneously I bought my first Peak Design product: a black Slide camera strap. Ever since, I’ve been a huge fan of their quality products and have extended my gear bit by bit. I aim to deliver quality in everything I create and demand the same from the products I use. No exceptions for my camera gear and accessories. Who would’ve thought I’d be riding around on a motorcycle with a camera around my neck (pics 2018 + 2022) calling it a job one day? Not me!

Al though Peak Design is globally known as a photography brand, it may not surprise you that they’ve entered the world of everything mobile too. With that comes a sophisticated line of mobile x motorcycle products, which I’ve been using since 2022. It’s unbeatable in function, design and quality and I’m proud to run their various European motorcycle events with a small team for Peak Design every year!

My phone is always protected with either the sleek Everyday case or the more rugged and thicker GNAR Case, which I always pick when available for my model phone.

At home I have different type of stands in the house, a dedicated car mount in my van and daily and the charging motorcycle mount on my Desert X. This ecosystem is unbeatable and when purchased you’ll never look back. Promised.

I wouldn’t be able to work and travel like I do without the convenient line of bags Peak Design produces. It kept my gear organized, dry, dust free and above all SAFE on all of my travels and adventures both on and off the bike. I’ve upgraded my photo and video gear a couple of times throughout the years and Peak Design always had a solution when I needed a different size bag, pouch or cube.

A challenging part of my work is that I’m usually working solo. On my motorcycle trips, it’s difficult to grab shots of myself. My Travel Tripod is therefor my indispensable partner in crime, my sturdy helper, my ABSOLUTE MUST! I carried a large, heavy Leofoto tripod on all my trips until I discovered this travel tripod, which packs away small and light. I will definitely never go back to bulk again. It handled my heavy mirrorless setup perfectly and even in the stormiest of conditions I felt absolutely safe leaving it all alone while I rode by on my motorbike for some b-roll shots.

Another very important yet tiny product is an Anchor Link. There’s no other Peak Design product I trust my life more with than these small anchor links which are on the end of the camera straps connecting it to your camera body. I kid you not, these can hold a ton of weight and are by far my most used photography accessory and besides my two camera bodies, I also have them attached to my drone controller and other items that needed a strap to carry.
