Peak Design Medium Camera Cube compatible Travel Bags (BCC-M-BK-2)

This is a great camera cube. Definitely an upgrade from the V1. If you’re on the fence, and can afford the v2, get it. The v1 is great but this is amazing and smaller to pack while also having more volume and the protection from water.

This is the medium v2 camera cube, as there is another medium camera cube available, but that is the v1. The v2 is thinner than the v1, so it seems like you would have more room - however, it’s 2cm less in height. So where my Nikon z7 fit perfectly in the v1, in the v2 it’s slightly too tall - you can still close the cover, but you see a bulge from the eye piece. The other issue is the side access doors - these are too small to allow the z7 to be passed through, and I am sure my old Sony a7r would have been a bit of a struggle to get into this narrow access. The sides also taper down to the bottom, meaning you have less room at the bottom compared to the top.Aside from these issues, the bag is well built and ideal for the peak design travel backpacks. I would not recommend this if you want a dedicated camera bag - there are better alternatives. However, for travelling, especially with a Peak Design bag, they do make sense.

I bought this to store my toiletries when I travel. As someone with lots of skincare items, this cube is extremely spacious (no more trying to jigsaw my things into multiple tiny pouches!) AND it's padded. The felt dividers are really useful too! This just made my packing process so much easier.

Unfortunately, as some people have already noted in here, the V2 cubes are smaller than their V1 counterpart. I ordered a medium V2, and when stacked next to my medium V1, it is very clear that the V2 is smaller. I tried to fit all my items from my V1 into the V2 and could not.. So buyer beware, if you have V1 cubes, do not expect the V2 version to be the same size. It's too bad because I liked the feature updates on the V2 such as the rimless edges, but simply cannot take advantage of it because of the smaller size and my existing gear won't fit into the V2.

I was on the fence as to whether to get a larger cube like this or a dedicated photography backpack. In the end, I ended up sending the Cube back. It wasn’t quite as large as I’d hoped it would be, and I couldn’t figure out a good way to lash additional accessories to it. I now have the 30 L every day backpack and it seems more appropriate for my needs. That said, the camera cube is a lot more affordable. If I wasn’t packing around a tripod and a gimbal all the time I probably would’ve stuck with the cube.
