I bought the medium camera cube and it's great way to store all of my camera gear. I have a DSLR camera and 5 lenses and every one of them fits in this bag with room to spare for all of my accessories and maybe even another lens in the future. Below are some pros and cons of the cube.
Pros: This cube is sturdy and well built and I foresee it lasting a lifetime. I feel like my camera gear is safe when I'm traveling with this cube. I love that I can access my camera through the side panels or the top of the cube. It also fits all of my camera gear and accessories (minus my peak design tripod) and the organization panels mean you can really customize how everything fits in the cube.
Cons: The medium cube is big! It doesn't fit in my Swiss backpack which I was hoping it would but it is a little too thick and wide. It does fit in my Swiss duffel bag but it takes up about a third of the suitcase. Now I'm looking at getting another peak design backpack that can hold the cube and my laptop but the ones designed to hold the camera cube are so big (I'm a 5'5” female) so it would probably look a little ridiculous to carry that around with me. Another thing is that while you can add the clip on strap the cube is a cube and it's a little awkward to carry around.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase as I was only really looking for something to store all my gear when I travel on short trips and I don't mind just having it out separately or sacrificing some space in my duffle.
I've always had trouble keeping my rig from leaving marks on my leather backseat, but the medium cube has been a great solution. I can transport both of my mirrorless cameras with monitors / mics attached, and not have to worry about them falling over as you can run the seatbelt through the back strap.

I just finished a weeklong trip and used the small cube to pack my Leica M body with three lenses. It fit perfectly inside of the PD Travel Duffel. The bag works wonderfully on its own as a small day bag. I can either use the duffel strap or a PD Slide strap to attach to the cube for daily carry. I used the slide. The padding is excellent and while I did not use the bag clips inside of the Duffel, I should have it would have made things very secure.
I use the large camera cube as part of my portable studio setup. It allows me to carry two AD200Pro flashes, fresnel and barebulbs for both, barn doors, gels, a full size camera body with two lenses (35/50mm), flash controller, remote shutter release/intervalometer, batteries, memory cards, knives, sharp sticks, etc...
I use this pack all on its own, with a PD sling and anchors to carry it around. It's been an absolute blessing in terms of quickly schlepping my gear around to remote locations. The origami dividers make organizing the internal space incredibly straightforward and easy.
I got the medium And small camera cubes, they are great for travel and even just for gear storage. The dividers are excellent, easy to install according to the size of your camera gears. I have two fuji mirrorless cameras, 3 flashes and a lot more accessories that I added throughout the years, the camera cubes are perfect for organization. I am happy with the purchase, i feel that my gears are secure all the time wether I am traveling or just at home.
Absolute quality on this piece of gear. Awesome functions, great aesthetic, super useable. The only con for me is that I wish there was a smaller model, something more backpacker-minded that'll cut down on pack space required.

I'm a beginner, and I mostly do street photography and portraits. I bought the small cube and a strap, and they work perfectly as a small camera bag. It's very light but solid, so I feel that my expensive equipment is well protected.
