        This insert is great, I bought it for occasional use but now always keep it in my backpack - well padded protection for my camera, lenses etc.! Great for travelling.

          The dividers are easy to adjust to fit your equipment. The compartment is easy to remove from your pack.

            I have used many camera specific backpacks but none of them are very comfortable for hiking, riding, etc. This fits well inside my REI Traverse 30. I can carry a Canon 7D with a 24-105 and a 70-200 f4 lens with room to spare. Saved my gear when my water bladder leaked in my pack too!

            Just what I was looking for

              Comments about Mountainsmith Kit Cube Camera Compartment:

              I am an outdoor and urban photographer, so when I go shooting I have some specific needs in my gear bag. I need a backpack that protects my equipment like anyone else, but I also need a pack with plenty of support and space for non-photo gear. Water bottles, note pads, gadgets, extra clothes, they all come with me.

              I found that no camera bag could be nearly as comfortable as my commute bag or hiking pack, so I searched for a way to adapt those to my photography instead of the other way around. When I settled on the Kit Cube, it was nearly the perfect sleeve. It fits in my daily commute bag (North Face Borealis) and my hiking pack (Kelty Redwing) very comfortably, leaving plenty of space for the extras I need. In the sleeve, I am able to fit my Nikon D90 with a Tamron 28-75mm lens mounted and a Tamron 70-200mm lens along side without cramping if I put items in vertically. I can easily fit the same camera with the 70-200mm lens mounted if I go horizontal, but that limits my options for extra lenses.

              I like the weather proofing on top for extra protection in unexpected weather, but the draw string could be a bit better. I think the padding could also be a bit stiffer for more protection, but that would impact the ease of fitting it into bags so I understand not doing it.

              I decided to write a review on this after showing it to two friends and having them both announce they were interested in buying it. I hope it helps others who are looking for the same thing.

              I bought this item in the REI store. I was able to find a location with it in stock easily using the tools on the website.

              Comments about Mountainsmith Kit Cube Camera Compartment:

              After trying several dedicated photo gear packpacks, I found this to be preferable for adapting a regular packpack to packing photo gear. I can move it between my pack and my carry on roller bag when traveling. Room for my T2i with 17-85 attached, plus 3 other lenses (10-22, 70-300, 50mm).

              Elastic bungee closure is a bit awkward to open.
              Top is fabric only, so no protection from above. I insert a thin layer of closed cell foam when needed.

              Very affordable solution.

                Comments about Mountainsmith Kit Cube Camera Compartment:

                for this price u can transform any backpack into a nice padded camera bag.. its just small enough to fit in any backpack and I had my 550d with 24-105l lens which is pretty big and a 24L and a 10-22mm in this pack.. but it was a little crampy.. it would be great for a camera body and 2 lenses just like the picture.. or a camera with 3 smaller lenses (most non L lenses for canon)
                could use a little pocket inside or outside for memory card but overall very simple and useful for me
