If you are looking for a solution for safely carrying your camera gears whilst wanting to maintain your backpack for everyday carry as you have quite a bit of personal items? Look no further, this camera cube is beautifully designed and built using high quality material.
Pros: Clever origami design, I could actually fit 5-6 dslr lenses with my canon rp body
Can be used as a standalone carry with the peak design strap
Cons: It would be better if it came with better quality dividers, the one that came with the camera cube was slightly damaged after minimal usage. But you can be rest assured that peak design's great customer service would take care of the problems. It certainly did for me, I have the dividers replacement sent to me at no additional cost at all.
Overall, it is a great addition to your arsenal if you need a portable solution for moderate amount of camera gear whilst not wanting to invest in those full camera backpacks.
Great to travel with. During long hauls put in your main carry on bag, it fits perfectly like any packing cube without any straps getting in the way. During day trips you can put on any strap with a peak design anchor and now you have a shoulder bag to carry your gear. I haven't tested it in the rain but it looks like it could handle it. Small cube is big enough space for my a7iii and 2 small to medium sized lenses. Only 2 things that would make this better: a place to attach capture clip (like on their sling) and a zipper on the outside of the cube in addition to or instead of that removable pouch on the inside. These are not deal breakers, you can still attach capture clip to the strap and the removable pouch is there for accessories.
I'm no professional photographer, so I never need to carry more than my camera and a lens or two at a time. The small camera bag is a perfect size for my minimal setup, and it even has room to spare after my gear is packed. The interior pocket keeps extra SD cards in one easy-to-reach place, too. I haven't had an opportunity to fly with this setup yet, but everything has stayed right where I packed it when venturing out by foot or car. All in all, a fantastic purchase that already has me thinking about other PD products I can add to my travel roster.
I have a pretty light and nimble camera setup. An A7c, with a mid-range lens and a 35mm prime. This light setup comes all the little accessories: filters, straps, cables and cleaning stuff. The small camera cube fits it all. I love that everything is protected and consolidated. It's small enough that I can just put the whole cube in my various bags and get out the door. No squeezing or reorganizing. Just stow and go.
I tried several different camera bags, and the Camera Cube is EXACTLY what I was looking for! The versatility and ability to carry and configure my gear as I want, but ALSO be able to carry it on its own, but also put it in different backpacks is awesome!
Can't recommend them enough and looking forward to the next exciting thing Peak comes up with.
I also use the Peak quick release camera strap and have the dongles mounted on the Camera Cube, so when I want to use it as a sling bag, I can, and when I want to stow it in my backpack, I can! PERFECT!

Perfect for travelling with one camera and a few lenses

Perfect size for travelling with one camera and multiple lenses when you don't want to go all out. Fits perfectly into Patagonia black hole bag and keeps everything safe.
I ordered the small and medium camera cube and absolutely LOVE them! I wanted something modular that I could put in different packs depending on what I was doing, hiking, traveling, camping etc. I looked at packs that have built in camera compartments and just didn't like them. These cubes are the perfect fit for what I need and better yet I bought the two slide straps and I can easily put a strap on either cube and carry it as a bag! This really is the best design I have ever found and I've been carrying camera gear for over 30 years. These cubes are built very strong and durable, the padding is excellent and being able to customize the interior is perfect!
