Pretty much any Peak Design product has a alternative that is on par in quality and usually cheaper. Their bags, strap and clip system, and their tripods. You may want you to look into those next time you’re shopping.

Okay can you recommend me a bag?
Yes. What are you looking for? School? Commuter? Hiking? Photography? What types of items will you carry? What’s your budget? Tolerance for weather?
I need to carry full waterproofs and a bunch of little tools, plus water and food. Can think of it as a work bag for horticulture that will be taken to different sites. Perhaps study materials as well, but at that point maybe I should be using different bags? Budget, well, I don’t mind spending a bit but I don’t understand how expensive some stuff is nowadays.
I used to use an Osprey Farpoint 40 until it broke, I replaced it with the new model but it’s not really suitable as it lacks any internal organisation. I’m pretty disappointed with it really, but I’ll keep it for carry-on luggage. Not that I travel much.
Honestly I vastly prefer having my storage organization blocks separate from the bag. More modular.
It’s not their clip system. ARCA plates have been in use since the '90s. Theirs is just a spin that fits most equipment featuring ARCA clamps.
