Great camera cube, very flexible

I've been looking for a better way to carry my camera and spare lens. I didn't want a dedicated camera bag - I don't want to advertise I'm carrying camera gear, and I don't need more bags in my life.
This cube fits great in my Timbuk2 messenger bag, which means I can carry my stuff comfortably and discretely. I have a Nikon D200, a 35mm prime, and a 18-70mm zoom.
I got this to hold my new drone. The Small size is perfect for my drone, the remote controller, with room to spare. Right now I’m using the extra room for sunscreen and bug spray. But it would also hold extra batteries. I like the moveable pocket. I’m using mine with a PD strap I already had.
I have a 45 liter travel backpack with a medium camera cube and just got this to use in the space left over. I use it to pack sound gear and on set I take it out of the backpack, put a shoulder strap on it and put an extra lens, som filters and some batteries in it. Great buy and great quality (as always)
I have bought the Camera Cube V2 in 3 different sizes (S/SM/M). I can customise my equipment selection for most jobs and the gear fits nicely into my Mystery Ranch rucksack. I highly recommend these cubes to anyone who is looking for a smart kit storage/packaging solution.
Well made and at a good price compared to similar products from other manufacturers as far as I can make out.
But on first use, my camera and lenses that I put in it are covered all over in dust and tiny bits of fluff (from the lining presumably). I was honestly shocked and concerned for my gear - it's not environmentally sealed and I'd be surprised if some of this detritus didn't make it inside. I'm sure you could vacuum it out or wipe it all out before using, but it's not a good first impression and not something I've experienced with any other gear, let alone 'premium' gear like Peak's stuff.
