A good divider with some drawbacks

I like the thing, and it’s definitely necessary if you buy one of the travel bags. The Velcro on the dividers isn’t the best. Probably because it’s on a flat, rigid surface so there isn’t any flexibility. I find it detached sometimes as the bag moves around. Still there are plenty of options for divine the bag up, so you can kind of double layer some things. The loops that mount the thing into the backpacks are on the wrong side, in my opinion. The are in a position where you can have the side access flap permanently open if you want the cube attached to the bag. I could’ve just had loops on both sides so I could pick how I wanted it installed. Also, just in led a few small zipper pockets on the exterior. More pockets never hurts. I find myself wishing for more places to put little things on all of the park design stuff.I still give the think a 4/5 but I want to make a few of the weird design choices clear.
I love the camera cube system. I've used the cube in my main camera bag, but love that it also detaches and can be used to protect my gear in checked luggage.
I bought a small camera cube to fit inside my old leather sling bag. Now, I can use my leather bag as my main camera bag during some formal-ish shoot. The small cube fits my XT5 with XF16-55 f2.8 and XH2 with XF33 f1.4.
I have the small and large cubes. I actually love that these are not sold with the bags. I bought the cubes before I could afford a bag and put these cubes into a plain jane backpack and made it feel like a photography bag. I could also pull out the cubes and put them in different bags depending on the type of shoot/trip I was going on. They`re thick and sturdy. The side access for a bag (if you have one) is sick. It sounds silly, but the zippers are the best i have ever used. I put the small cube on inside of my kayak and kept it next to me while i was rowing and kept my camera dry from a number of splashes. I can fit a Canon R5 with 100-500 telephoto in the small cube. Best cubes I have used.
I like the flexibility of this camera cube where I can easily adjust the partitions for the camera gears I am bringing out for the trip. It can be mounted on my Peak Design Travel backpack or used as an interior camera bag in any other backpack. I can also use it as a camera sling bag with the use of Peak Design Anchor Links and Leash strap.
Just received the bag this week and loaded it with my gear. I love the versatility and how much the bag holds in such a compact size. I bought the medium bag, and it is just right! (See photo). I can still even get some more in here if necessary. So happy that my small tripod even fits. Love the multi sided access. Everything seems very well constructed and I expect long life from this bag.
I expected the small to only fit what was advertised, but I can fit the following gear in one small cube: Canon 5D4, Sigma 30mm 1.4 Canon AE-1 Fujifilm x100F Hard drive, battery wall charger
