Talkin' Backpacks w/ Peak Design's Founder Peter Dering

Back in the Fall of 2008—several years before Instagram filters became a trend—Olympus introduced in-camera Art Filters in their DSLR cameras, specifically designed for the creative photographer. These filters helped transform basic images into works of art that deliver emotional impact, long before it became mainstream.
Curious to explore art filters for yourself or looking for the perfect gift? Purchase the E-M10 Mark IV body today and get a complimentary M.Zuiko 14-42mm II R lens—all for just $699.99, now through September 29th! If you're eyeing something weather-sealed, save up to $300 on an OM-5 kit. Visit explore.omsystem.com/petapixel or head to your local authorized retailer!
Peak Design is one of the most recognizable names in the photography industry and probably the most well-known accessory brand in the space. From the Capture Clip, to straps, to bags, tripods, and more, the company recently set its sights on the outdoor and adventure market after years in development.
Peak Design's founder and CEO Peter Dering joins Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and Jaron Schneider for a discussion about the company's history, product strategy, and -- of course -- the new Outdoor series of backpacks.
