Smedium just right!

Bought two new smedium cubes with the idea of using the two of them in the 45L Travel Backpack, when I received them I discovered the smedium will fit (snuggly, but will fit) with a medium cube in the Travel Backpack; so I will be returning one of them.
I do mostly travel/adventure photography, need a bag to get as much gear as I can fit to my destination, and have used either the pack and medium cube closed down to the 30L size. The smedium will give me more room than the small cube and will fit a Z8 with 24-70 AND an Air2S and controller, which I can then carry on the hike or bike. If I want to bring a bit more gear I take the backpack.
Bought this product a month ago and got it a week ago. Immediately used it for a photography outing and attracted my friends and admired how good is the design and the convenience in use.
I bought the SMedium cube to protect my camera, lenses and other equipment when traveling. After configuring the cube, I discovered the dividers also provide vertical as well as lateral protection when the cube is closed. That was pleasant surprise compared to other camera storage systems, including those manufactured for camera manufacturers.
I just purchased the SMedium V2 Camera Cube and it is Just Perfect (JPerfect)! I also own the medium V1 Cube; the SMedium V2 fits my Sony mirrorless kit and returns space in my travel bags for clothing. Perfect fit and function.
I bought this to replace my current V1 Camera Cube, and I have to admit, I was not sure about it. But, since I've been a long-time PD user, I dove in and replaced my Large and Medium Cubes at the same time. Now I'm patting myself on the back for the good decision! The changes are not just cosmetic, but greatly improve the usability of the Cubes. The waterproofed zippers, grab spots on the corners, changes to the shape and interior design, all add up to a V2 that's definitely worth the upgrade!
I am an underwater photographer, and packing my camera and lights takes up multiple bags. These v2 cubes are great (I bought a few in every size except X-small), but specifically the Smedium size is my favorite. It fills a much needed niche between the small which is too big too be considered small but not big enough to be very useful. And the Medium is sometimes too big. The Smedium is my favorite size and I can see buying many of these!
