An Awesome High-Quality Camera Backpack!

The Shimoda Explore V2 30 Liter Adventure Backpack Starter Kit is a SUPERB backpack for the photographer with a smaller mirrorless camera such as a non-gripped Nikon Z8, Z7, with 2 or 3 short Nikkor Z lenses. For example, it fits a Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 24-120 f/4 S, a body-only Z7, and a Nikkor Z 14-30 f/4, with room to spare, for additional accessories, filters, batteries, air blower, etc. The metal YKK zippers with leather pulls are excellent and smooth. There is a multitude of various sized pockets for larger items such as light jackets, laptop, chargers, etc. The 2 fold-out mesh pockets are great for a tripod and a water bottle. Also, the camera cube can be easily removed and replaced with a smaller cube or cubes for a different configuration. The cubes are more rigid than other brands, which offers both superior gear protection, and permitting the backpack to stand vertically on its own, which many bags cannot do. Also, it has 3 handles, making it effortless to pick it up.

Bag looks and feels puffy. Size is small, did not have room like reviews on YouTube said. Bad reviews. I wanted to return to get bigger size but Adorama charges for shipping.?????? Don't get this bag for traveling! Cost too much $400.

Great Bag for hiking

This thing can pack the camera gear and leaves room for clothes. I had two mirrorless full frame bodies, and four lenses (100-400, 70-200, 24-105, 14-35). It can also has a water bladder for hikes or a laptop sleeve when going through the airport. There is also side pockets perfect for tripods or water bottles or anything else you could carry. I had enough room for a puffer jacket and a rain jacket on top. The strap system is highly adjustable.

Nice looking bag. Loved all of the pockets. Zippers seemed stubborn. Bag loaded with waist belt on was very comfortable but seemed too tall and bulky for me. I had to return.

Impressed

I never write reviews but this one is special. Ever since finding out about Shimoda bags and the quality that's behind it. I can say it is worth the price tag with so many features and little things that caters to the outdoor photographer. I believe anyone who enjoys being out in rugged terrain would definitely love this bag and even if you're not going out to the wild even urban territories this is a bag that doesn't scream out you're carrying a ton of gear.

How the Shimoda Explore V2 25L Women's Backpack Starter Kit with Small Mirrorless Core Unit, Teal, Elevates Your Adventure Experience

The Shimoda Explore V2 25L Women's Backpack is meticulously designed for adventurous women who seek both functionality and style in their gear. As Shimoda's most compact adventure backpack, it is perfect for those who travel to demanding locations and need a reliable companion that adheres to strict international carry-on regulations. Its compact size ensures it fits comfortably under most airline seats, making it an ideal choice for global travelers.

This backpack is tailored specifically for women, featuring the Women's specific Tech Straps and Adjustable Belt. The ergonomic design of the straps curves away from the chest, complemented by dual sternum straps that eliminate awkward pressure points, ensuring maximum comfort during long treks. The adjustable belt, which can be modified by 2.4 inches (6cm), provides a customizable fit around the hips, catering to women with smaller waists.

The Explore V2 25L is packed with smart travel features to enhance your journey. It includes lockable zippers for added security, a hidden passport pocket for discreet storage, and a luggage-handle pass-through for seamless airport navigation. The sleek design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also built to withstand the rigors of adventure, satisfying even the most discerning creators.

Designed with practicality in mind, this water-resistant camera backpack offers multiple access points. The side access allows for quick, under-the-arm retrieval of gear without removing the pack, while the anti-theft rear opening provides wide, unobstructed access to your equipment for less urgent shooting scenarios.

For tech-savvy travelers, the backpack includes dual laptop/tablet sleeves, accommodating devices up to 14 inches. This feature allows you to carry both a laptop and a tablet, offering flexibility for various packing needs.

Included in this starter kit is the Small Mirrorless Core Unit, a modular camera insert that provides shockproof protection for your Mirrorless, SLR, and DSLR cameras and lenses. This ensures you carry only the necessary padding and weight, with the option to expand your layout by stacking additional Core Units.

The Shimoda Explore V2 25L Women's Backpack Starter Kit is the ultimate blend of comfort, security, and functionality, making it an indispensable tool for women who are passionate about photography and adventure.
