Great for photography gears.

The core unit is great. There are some metals in it so the gear won’t move on the go.

Shimoda core was nuts are super flexible!

All Shimoda bags are amazing and I love the core units! I can preconfigure the single core units I have and swap them out based on what kind of shoot I’m going on!

Great part, lives up to the quality and thoughtfulness of the rest of the Shimoda system

I use two of these in my Shinoda Explore 60. It's really meant for the Shimoda system. I've also got a Manfrotto medium size backpack and this doesn't fit in it -- too deep. Got the small unit because two of them allows for the most configuration options in a Shimoda bag. Great quality and trim wall parts. Strong velcro. Waterproof on its own which is nice to have.

You'll discover unparalleled protection and organization with the Small Mirrorless Core Unit, designed specifically for the discerning photographer who values durability and practicality in their gear storage. Crafted from robust nylon, this unit offers a shockproof haven for your Mirrorless, SLR, and DSLR cameras, as well as a variety of lenses, ensuring that you never have to contend with excess padding or unnecessary weight.

The unit's intelligent design allows for versatile orientation; place it vertically to complement the side access of the Explore V2 25 backpack, or lay it horizontally for a snug fit in any other Shimoda backpack and roller. The inclusion of popular features from our Core Unit system, such as EVA laminated dividers and sidewalls, adds an extra layer of customizable protection, while the lightweight and versatile removable skin, coupled with an aluminum frame, provides additional rigidity and support.

With a depth tailored for mirrorless and non-gripped DSLR cameras up to 12 cm (4.7 in) tall, this unit is perfect for securely housing your equipment, including lenses as long as a 70-200mm 2.8. The Mirrorless/DSLR Body Fit is optimized for efficient packing, allowing for a lower profile within your backpack and compatibility with cameras like the Fuji X-T4, Sony a7 series, and the Canon 5D.

Experience quick side camera access when the unit is oriented vertically, ensuring that your gear is always within easy reach. For those requiring additional storage, the Small Mirrorless Core Unit can be modularly stacked with additional Core Units, enhancing the equipment carrying volume of your pack without sacrificing portability.

The included water-resistant and multi-purpose Skin serves a dual function: as a storage case to keep your Core Unit sealed and dust-free when not in use, and as a packing cell for clothing or other essentials during travel. The EVA protective shell and dividers offer superior protection compared to standard PE foams, allowing for thinner walls that utilize less internal volume while still safeguarding your valuable equipment.

Choose the Small Mirrorless Core Unit for a stylish, spacious, and protective solution that keeps your photography gear organized and ready for any adventure.
