Thoughtfully designed and very well made. Like all their gear. I ordered a few different sizes to see what worked best for my load out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Shooting Out of the Duffel
on July 1, 2026

Using the Large Peak Design Camera Cube v2 inside the Travel Duffel 35L creates the ultimate self-contained mobile workstation. Because the Large cube takes up the entire main compartment of the 35L Duffel, it essentially transforms the bag into a dedicated, heavy-duty camera case.My workflow involves dropping the duffel on a table or the floor and shooting right out of it. The combination of the duffel’s wide top hatch and the v2 cube’s expanded, fold-away zipper lid means I get total, unhindered access to my gear without the bag collapsing on itself.The massive capacity of the Large size easily handles the wide-bodied Nikon Z8 and a heavy rotation of pro S-Line glass. It safely swallows the Z8 attached to a 24-70mm f/2.8 S or 14-24mm f/2.8 S, alongside the massive 85mm f/1.2 S, the MC 105mm f/2.8 Macro, and the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S. Even the giant 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR can be laid across the layout when configured properly. For Z8 shooters who need a rugged, fast-access floor-or-table workspace on location, this Large cube and 35L Duffel combo is flawless.

Do not recommend the Large V2 Camera Cube.
on June 22, 2026
Posted by: Eugene D
Now just to clarify. The V2 camera cube has substantially better build quality and the rigidity I’ve been craving compared to the V1 version. The biggest issue is that the supplied dividers are not the same length or have the variety as the V1. I simply cannot recreate the same design or even remotely similar to make everything fit as before. I mean I’m not even close. I can confidently say I can fit 40% less stuff in the v2 compared to the v1. Before you voice your criticism, I’ve been sitting on the floor for hours trying reconfigure a new design and it simply just doesn’t work. The difference is that the v1 gave you 4 Large dividers and the v2 gives you 2 XL and many pockets. I also don’t want to purchase more stuff and even if I wanted to, I can’t because it’s out of stock. I will be returning the v2 !

A storage solution with many options

I wanted a rolling bag to protect my gear, yes, another roll aboard bag to add to the many that I already had. What if I could convert and repurpose an existing roll aboard? Wouldn't that be perfect? Searching online I came across the CAMERA CUBE V2 from Peak Design in the XL size. Going through the various roll aboards that I already had, the TUMI ALPHA 3 was a perfect match. The CAMERA CUBE V2 - XL fits the TUMI with about 1/2" of room to spare and if I wish, could add additional padding to firmly secure it within the case.
The features of the CAMERA CUBE V2, give me a lot of freedom to customize my layout and provide great protection for my gear. Not having to roll a bag that screams "CAMERA GEAR! PLEASE TAKE ME!" through the airport or streets is comforting.

Worth Every Penny

Wanted to replace my old Domke camera backpack and had heard good things about Peak Design. I have been using the company's packing cubes and was impressed. Keep in mind that I cut my teeth on Domke bags and in my mind, they are the bench mark for camera bags. They just really haven't excelled with camera backpacks.
Peak Design has built a solid reputation for quality backpacks and the camera cubes looked interesting. So I decided to give the 18L Outdoor pack and SMedium camera cube a try.
I've only had the pack for a day and have to say I'm impressed. I've traded in my Canon 300mm f2.8 years ago for a 100-500mm (my main lens) and took a chance that the SMedium would accommodate it. I can easily fit the 100-500mm, 24-105mm, 24mm, 1.4x converter and the Canon R6 MKII in the SMedium. It slides nicely inside the 18L pack with room for a tech bag that will carry my spare batteries, charger and memory cards.
The front pockets carry a camera cover (should it rain) and a cleaning cloth. The side pouches sport my water bottle and monopod (tripod is a bit too heavy).
All in all the Peak Design camera cube is well made, offers plenty of protection and matches up nicely with the Outdoor pack. Would highly recommend it.

Excellent part of the PD Ecosystem

Big fan of how this works with the 30L Travel Backpack (when expanded- something to note if you’re stowing under a seat on a plane or coach). Holds gear securely, the clips give peace of mind that it’s not going to drop out if I open the backpack, and it’s very configurable with a good mix of dividers to break up the space as needed. I took it out with a Nikon Z body, a 24-70 2.8, a 70-200 2.8, a 35mm 1.8, a Mamiya 6 film camera and all the associated accessories like film, straps and such and I had space to spare. If you’ve got a decent sized kit you need to have on hand while out and about this is a solid option for Travel Backpack owners!

Fit for purpose and practical features.

I bought Camera Cube V2 Large in August'25 and i have held on to unpacking video and review since then! Now is a good time as i have taken and used it twice to wildlife tiger reserve safari in India and I was able to fit my Nikon Z6III, Nikon Z 70-200 Lens, Nikon Binocular, Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blower, Spare battery, 2-3 CFExpress cards, Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Reader, Battery charger, INIU Power Bank, 20000mAh Fast Charging Portable Charger, 22.5W Powerbank with USB Type C Input & Output, useful cables, and a Apple iPAD.
The bag is a very practical protection and has great features, check the video too. Easy access to side pocket to grab your spares when in a moving jeep/gypsy in the wild. Earthy colours like brown/sand/green/camo would be a nice add on to cater for the wild.

Weird shape

I bought the Smedium Cube because it was the largest sized cube that would fit the 25L Outdoor Bag. And from the get-go, I found it difficult to fit all the lens I would take outdoors (or on a trip) into the cube in a way that made sense. It took a bit of analyzing, but I figured out that the issue is that the cube is tapered downward, like an upside-down trapezoidal prizm. So while the opening is about 10”x12”, the bottom is about 2” shorter in length and width. That really affects what you could fit in there (such as an 8” telephoto lens with hood) in a way that doesn’t displace more space than needed or mess with the weight distribution inside the Outdoor Bag. I also found the shapes of the dividers not practical, and lacking as there is not one that can run down the longest length of the cube. And if they are going to fit inside another bag, maybe less padding to maximize usable space.
