I've taken this case out in blizzards and in -40 celcius. It's protected the camera really well so far. Will be taking it out a lot this year while hiking.
These camera cubes work so seamlessly with the 45L travel backpack it makes packing a breeze. I love that they come with an abundance of dividers. The padding is nice and soft, the velcro is strong so things don't move around in your bag. Packing and organized camera bag is easier than ever!
I bought this originally as a protective bag insert, but I like it so much I used it as a weather-resistant walkaround bag now too! After a month of use one of the sling loops failed, I spoke to a CS guy and I had new one in my hands in like 3 days. This is the reason why you should choose to pay more for quality things; truly outstanding customer service. (before undies get twisted, even the best products in the world have manufacturing defects sometimes, it's how the company handles it that makes the difference.) One small improvement I made, I made a small tie to link the two access zips so that I can open and close the top flap with one motion. Depending on what you're using it for it's a useful addition.
I wasn't sure if I should get the medium or large, but glad that I went for it and got the bigger one - giving myself some room to grow into. While it's always a little hard to get the interiors of these things adjusted - velcro is both awesome and a complete pain - there was plenty of room to get the job done. I like that this can work as a stand-alone item, but can't wait until the Travel 45L is available so that I can really get a sense for the complete system. Overall, highly recommend this thoughtfully designed case.
I've been running the cube (small) for a few weeks now. It's amazing. Perfect size for a camera (a7IV) and a few other items. I know it's set up to carry an extra lens, but I keep other gear in there as most of the time I just run around with a 28mm prime. I've had my leash on the bag and just run my cuff and clutch on the camera when I'm out. The cube gives you easy access to the camera no matter the situation which is nice for long hikes when you need to rest the hands while moving and don't want the camera bouncing around in the open. (especially with the snow I'm dealing with while wearing gloves) My absolute favorite part about it though is the simplistic design on the outside. I can wear the cube to my work meetings, on the street, inside restaurants or clubs, and anywhere else and nobody looks twice. It doesn't have horrible designs on the outside and the all black color goes with any outfit and situation I find myself working. It's literally the perfect bag. I want to find a negative about it and just can't. Great product and company all around. I'll be picking up more gear and am extremely excited to try out all of the other products they have to offer.
Purchased a large camera cube in Sept 2021 to serve as a protected case for my Nikon D500, 200-500 zoom, 75-300 zoom, 18-70 zoom + hoods and accessories (cleaning kit, rain jacket, chargers, card reader, etc.) when traveling and storing at home. All fit with room to spare. Fits perfectly in Samsonite 21" hard sided suitcase. Have used suitcase + cube extensively when traveling, always as a carry on. Simple, safe, reliable, works great. Only suggestion is that some of the dividers could have velcro on both sides of their tabs to provide more flexibility when connecting them.
Im slowly adding to my Peak Design collection. I have the medium and large camera cubes now and I love them! They are perfect for my wildlife photography lenses, especially when I travel!
