I've been using the small cube for almost a year now, and I am thoroughly impressed. I tried using it as a standalone bag and as an insert on my KATA Orbit messenger bag, works perfectly on both occasions. Materials are pretty durable, though I would prefer it to be a little more padded. It gives enough protection against elements even on its own, but the quick pull-away zip means there's a small gap where water ingress may occur. No problem when used as insert bag. Size is optimized for PD Travel backpack, so it's no wonder that it's a little too wide for my rucksack - but it fits just fine on my messenger bag. The shelf dividers are a godsend for prime lenses. My travel kit consists of 1 DSLR with zoom lens, 2 primes, 1 flash, 1 spare battery, and lens cleaning kit - everything fits nicely inside the small cube. After such trip, a sling loop on my cube frayed and I contacted Peak Design's customer support. The whole warranty claim process was hassle-free, without the usual convoluted, corporate, bureaucratic "limited lifetime warranty" - and 2 weeks later a brand new cube arrived safely at my doorstep. Nothing short of awesome!
I use this all the time for keeping my camera gear safe and out of the hands of my 2 small children. I love how versatile it is conforming to the different gear I am carrying, and how easy it is to grab and go.
I actually got this to have a safe container where to keep my camera gear at home. I used to keep my camera and lenses in an IKEA box, with everything wrapped in scarves. This, of course, seemed like a terrible long term solution.
I was so happy when I got my camera cube. It is great quality, and very easy to customize so that all my gear would fit in. All my camera stuff is now safely put away, and I can sleep more calmly at night.
well, the main reason i bought this cube is because i want to carry my camera with my daypack not my camera bag. tho it turns out not te be that small, i have to place the bag vertically, not horizontally inside the bag as i want it to be. but still, it did its job really well. my lenses, mirrorless and several things is safe inside the cube! not, it's always inside my daypack hahahaha
I purchased a gift certificate for your my son-in-law. He has been looking stand wanting your camera cubes. Now he can just go and what he wants and needs. The process was easy, even for me. I am not always the most astute at ordering items in-line.
The camera cube was highly praised by other sports photographers I've worked with. The quality is unmatched and I love that you can use it as a backpack on the go. I made my own camera luggage bag (and saved $ on a think tank) with a rolling suitcase and used this camera cube as an insert. It can fit ALL of my gear which includes two pro bodies (1Dm3 and 5Dm4) and an 80d with my lenses (16-35mm, 70-200mm, and a 300mm)! The inserts come with plenty of customizable options and are fantastic quality vs prior brands I've used.
I'm usually hesitant about packing items made to go inside of packing items; I like to pride myself on being a relatively good packer but when I purchased the Travel Duffle I suspected the Camera Cube system would be useful. Boy, was I right! The Camera Cubes make it possible for me to keep my sensitive gear packed with the workhorse items without any risk of damage all while maintaining a high level of portability and easy access which is extremely valuable to me while photographing weddings when I'm moving around a lot but still want to have all my gear with me.
The PEAK DESIGN small camera cube is the most versatile and amazing bag I've yet to buy from Peak Design. It's a light and flexible enough to be used as a casual Carey, when I don't feel the need to break out my full backpack. Yet it's flexible enough to be used as an insert in my larger packs. It attaches to a PEAK DESIGN strap so easily and remains highly protective of my most expensive gear. I don't know what how I lived without this thing!
