Small Cube large capacity
on June 12, 2023
Posted by: Andrew
from Oakwood, GA
I now have all 3 sizes. I've had the medium and large for a while. The medium is my usual go-to for my backpacks. The medium has tremendous capacity and fits just about all my gear. If I'm going to travel for a week or longer, I swap it out for the large so I can keep all my bits in one cube.
The "small" (not really small) cube is my latest addition and it is fantastic. I've been using it along with the medium to hold all the photography doo dads like, L bracket, flash, chargers, cords, etc. Greatest part about using it like this is I take the cube out of the backpack and use it for a small day bag. I've slapped on some peak anchors and a camera strap. I can put in a body with 2 or 3 lenses maybe a few filters and an extra battery and I have a very lightweight bag to carry around especially when I know what lenses I'm going to shoot with.
A few things I'd like to see in version 2 or a separate product and only on the small unit because it's such a great carry option. I'd really like if the top was expandable by about an inch or maybe 2 like it's done on the packing cubes or on the travel backpacks. Reason being, the newer mirrorless lenses can mostly fit standing up with some exceptions, I can even almost fit an rf70-200 attached to an r6 standing up. It actually does fit like this but it's tight to close the lid but does still work stretching the bag a bit. I also wouldn't mind seeing a place on the outside to hook on a capture clip, and a small zipper pocket big enough to hold a battery lens cloth, small bits.

the best camera cube
on June 1, 2023
Posted by: sur321
from New York, NY
I bought large mainly to store my extra gears. instead of buying camera bags and backpacks to store. this is most affordable option than pelican.
wish there was some sleeve pockets and sturdier shoulder strap adapter.
Peak's large size is larger than any other cubes and unique divider is the best in the market.
better than shimoda or f-stop cubes!!!

Great cube but missing a few features
on May 31, 2023
Posted by: WIphotog
I bought the large size cube because I needed something that would fit a large telephoto lens, as well as a mirrorless camera body and other, smaller lenses, and various other items. Overall, the cube is well designed, but there are definitely a few issues.
The first issue is that, although the cube is large enough to fit the lens, they do not make dividers that are long enough to span the longest length of the bag. You have to stick together a number of the smaller dividers to span the space. It works OK but is kind of a pain, especially if you’re rearranging the layout.
The other issue is that peak design does not sell a shoulder strap for the bag. The only way to add a shoulder strap is to repurpose one of their camera straps as a shoulder strap. That would work fine for a smaller bag or lighter gear, but for those of us who shoot with heavy lenses, the camera strap does not offer enough padding to be comfortably worn. Their camera straps are also designed to slide around, which is not ideal for a heavily laden bag.
I own a peak design tote, which comes with a shoulder strap. At the moment, I am using that strap with the bag, but it looks silly because it’s in the gold color. I confirmed with customer support that they do not sell the shoulder straps separately, so at the moment that’s the solution I’m stuck with. I’m going to keep using the cube, because it is hard to find well designed cubes this large, but I do hope they make some improvements in the future.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Holds Quite A Bit
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: D Man
from Denver, CO
I bought the small camera cube and a slide lite strap that can go either on my camera or the cube. The cube holds a ton. It easily fits a Canon RF 70-200 f2.8, RF 15-35 f.2.8, Canon R6 MK II body, battery charger, extra battery, and lens cleaning supplies. Not only am I glad I got this, but I'm also glad I got the 2.8 versions of the lenses since they fit just fine and, in my view, they are easy to carry around and use. The 70-200 and battery charger are under the camera in the attached photo. The camera sits atop the brilliantly designed origami shelfs.

Great, initially, straps might be confusing

I bought this a few years ago. While I enjoyed the use of the product greatly I had initially gotten confused as to which area I was to add my shoulder strap to. This inevitably caused that area to tear. It would be nice if both placed could be reinforced. Everything else has worked as a charm to this day.

Ultra usefule

I bought this camera bag a couple of weeks ago.
Been around having some shooting.
Great how a 6D MKII and a DJI Air2s fit in there.
Nice to carry them with me and being able to swap capture device with few gestures.
