Shimoda Action X40 V2 40L Backpack Starter Kit with Medium DSLR Core Unit Army Green

For photographers who demand efficiency and durability in challenging environments, the Shimoda Action X40 V2 40L Backpack Starter Kit with Medium DSLR Core Unit is the ultimate solution. This backcountry camera bag is meticulously crafted for those who venture into foul weather, ever-changing landscapes, and rugged terrains. Designed to accommodate gripped camera bodies, it comfortably fits most mirrorless and DSLR cameras up to 6.7 inches (17 cm) tall, thanks to the versatile DSLR Core Unit series.

The Action X40 features an innovative roll-top access, allowing users to expand or compress the backpack's volume by up to 7 liters, adapting to the day's gear requirements. Its robust construction includes multiple attachment straps, such as TPU compression straps, which provide enhanced durability for securing skis. Additionally, the removable helmet holder is perfect for attaching mountaineering, ski, or bike helmets externally.

Interchangeable and adjustable shoulder straps are equipped with two zippered pockets, ideal for carrying the latest iPhone Pro Max, a water bottle, or other personal accessories. The Action X series, including the X25, X30, X40, and X50 models, offers side camera access and two removable tripod or water bottle pouches. These pouches can be repositioned to the belt for quick access to essential items like snacks and lenses or removed entirely to reduce weight.

The backpack includes two padded sleeves, safeguarding laptops and tablets up to 16 inches, providing flexibility for various packing scenarios. Its removable belt, luggage-handle pass-through, and hidden AirTag sleeve make the Action X40 a discreet and stylish companion for urban and travel settings.

The adjustable torso height feature offers three height options with approximately 9 cm (3 in) of vertical adjustment, ensuring a custom fit for all users, regardless of torso size. For those with taller or broader torsos, the optional Booster Kit extends the range of torso fit.

The Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System is integral to the X40, offering shockproof protection for mirrorless and DSLR cameras and lenses. This system ensures that users carry only the necessary padding and weight, accommodating Small, Medium, and Large DSLR sizes, as well as the shallower Mirrorless series.

Finally, the backpack includes a hidden sleeve for a personal tracking device, such as an AirTag or Tile Pro, ensuring you can always locate your pack. In the unfortunate event of loss, this feature aids in the recovery of your valuable gear. The Shimoda Action X40 V2 is the perfect blend of functionality, adaptability, and style for photographers on the move.
