I have a Sony A73, 16-35 f2.8, 70-200 f4, and a 50mm 1.4. Can I fit this in the small core unit or will I need the medium?
@@Hectoram93 It will be snug but yes. You may have to remove the hood of the 16 and place in the Core Unit unattached, but it might OK with it on.
Love the Shimoda E25 in green. Planning for a sakura trip in late March with E25, I just wonder if the capacity is ok for a Canon 5D3 with RRS grip, a 17-40/f4, a 24-70/f2.8, a 70-200/f4, and a Rubinar 300/f4.5, thinking to get 3 of them packed in E25 if 4 is not possible.
@@Eericfong @Eric Fong 5D with grip will be too big for Mirrorless Core Units. You'll need a bag that takes the DSLR depth. Which means the E35. otherwise you will deal with the camera sticking out some. Best to check the actual camera dimensions with grip and compare to the Core Unit's internal depth.
Thanks for the side by side! Made me more confident with my choice for the E30
Not sure if you saw, but there are many comparison images on our FB page.
Love this type of series. Would love to see more of these with other people
Would love to too... anyone can do it :)
Can you please do a comparison between the 30 vs the 35?
Would love to see the E25 accommodate the new 14” M1 MacBook Pro. Think that would be such a perfect fit for so many people
It does fit. The compartment is 12.6 x 8.9 x 0.8 in. while the 14" MacBook Pro is 12.31 x 8.71 x 0.61 in. Shimoda needs to update the specification..
Can we fast forward time so I can get mine? 😩😂 I cant wait to be able to use it. My current bag is driving me nuts and is so cumbersome.
Excellent review! Very informative, clear, well paced. Thank you!
Love the Shimoda bags and now I own three, E30L V1, E30L V2 and E35L V2. One thing I’ve found though is when planning space for camera bodies the additional size of a camera body with an L- bracket has not really be taken into account for mirrorless core units. Inserts should be slightly deeper to make room for this essential camera body add-on IMHO. Not as big an issue for DSLR core units I use in the E30L v1 and E35L V2. I’ve been thinking of adding a E25L V2 and it not clear if in a small mirrorless core unit my Sony A7x or A1 will fit with L bracket for Small Rig, Kirk, or ReallyRightStuff I always include to support tripod work. I notice your videos never show an L-bracket on any bodies. Please consider these an essential add on.😊
Completely agree with this. My Canon R6 with L-bracket is just slightly too tall for the medium mirrorless core unit and cannot really be pulled out of the side access. That isn't so much of an issue as I'm not likely to be using an L-bracket if accessing the camera though the side, but it's one less feature of the bag to use. But my overall comment on the E30L is the core unit is too small. I can only just get my R6, 14-35, 24-105 and 70-200 in it, and only if the 14-35 is attached to my camera, which is probably not the lens I'd want attached by default. In hindsight I wish I'd bought the E35L which would have given me the extra height for the L-bracket and allowed me to store lenses vertically instead of lying down.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
Would love it if we can get an E30 with large mirrorless space comparison vs the medium core unit
Not sure if you saw, but there are many comparison images on our FB page.
Thanks for the video. It would be great if E35 is also in the comparison
I second that!
It would be but I'm only one man and time is far too limited and video are very time consuming for my production level/ability. Sorry, but you could easily imagine the XL with the shame shirt size compassion. Add another 5 Liters...
@@ShimodaDesigns totally understand. Appreciate by the way. I have X50 and ordered E30 in the beginning, then switched to E35 at the end.
I’ve been going back and forth with 30L (large mirrorless) vs 35L (large dslr) AND color, black vs green. Initially, chose black 35L and started questioning if it was too big and possibly too cumbersome. So, switched to 30L in green (because I like green). Then I watched ANOTHER video on a compact motorized slider I ordered which fits nicely in backpacks. And, subsequently switched back to the 35L large dslr model. After much thought and second guessing, watching RUclips videos, my final verdict; you can always pack smaller with big, but never pack bigger with small. (Plan is to purchase smaller inserts to pack smaller). And, you can (will, probably, likely, maybe-lol) always just buy another Shimoda bag. Hope this helps others still trying to make a decision.
@@henrytemd appreciate your reply Thomas
This was helpful because I had been trying to decide between 25 and 30 for a few days. Thank you Ian！
Which one are you choosing and why. Can't decide yet.... ahhhhr
@@PiTheHammer I feel like this video has accidentally exposed a problem people have been suffering with :)
@@ShimodaDesigns which is ?
@@PiTheHammer Which size bag!
@@ShimodaDesigns that's right, you might consider posting pictures with the bag on people's backs so we have an idea of the actual size :)
Thank you for this. I just backed a 30 and may switch to a 25!
Thank you. You may change again after my next video ;)
@@ShimodaDesigns oh gosh. This is what happened with your first Kickstarter and I ended up just waiting for a final product I could try at the shop.
I’m a female (5’10) adventure film maker that travels by bicycle / train to shoot. Specifically want to be able to carry on, carrying 2x fx3 bodies, 2 lenses, batteries, and xlr mics.
As a product market my only suggestion to your team is to get more non-white males testing your gear :)
@@ShimodaDesigns It looks like a comment was deleted, but it would be nice to see diversity in people, shapes etc when trying to figure out - sight unseen - if the bag is going to work for me (and others I've recommended it to). 👍
@@BikeShopGirl My comment asked "What does skin color have to do with Adventure Photography" I deleted it because I was going away with likely no wifi, and with the way things get out of hand these days, I chose to avoid any drama and swiftly delete it. With that said, we work with people who are talented and give no consideration to gender, shape or skin color. If you know people who are what you are referring too, and talented, have experience creating this sort of content and specifically into adventure photography, please feel free to email their channels to me. From what I have expereince in my corner of YT... there are not many who fit the bill and this is the exact reason why you don't see what you're afterparticipate
@@ShimodaDesigns Thanks for the continued dialogue in your YT comments!
In the outdoor industry and bike industry spaces, we are working hard on DEI. Often opportunity brings more opportunity. Finding the smaller creators and adventures that haven't been able to break through does take some more time and may not bring as many views as you others BUT their unique audience and input can bring that much more to the table.
My big dilemma (I must not be the only one!): 25L is enough space, but my main computer is a 16in MBP!
You could do what I did and shift away from using a laptop. I only work at home on a desktop now. I only pack my laptop when I absolutely need to. Kind of like ditching the mobile and claiming a piece of my life back. :) Might not work for all...
Its a bummer, to wide open your backpack to grab the raincover during the rain
Shimoda bags are amaizing, but love to see with lightweight material... Like for urgan/local park forest exploration :) i dont need that terrain rain waterproof material, rain cover would cover pretty much most of the rain :) Fstop has mountain series and that would be nice to see something similar from Shimoda :) i am sure lots of not that heavy duty phographers love to own it :)
Pretty sure their Mountain series is heavier but I may be wrong. I designed those almost a decade ago... and they they still appear to be the same:)
@@ShimodaDesigns my point was that material on explore V3 could be like a hiking backpacks material less heavy duty but would have same functions and comfort level. I like take photos on weekends and i feel current shimoda backpack material is Overkill for me...
I own an E25 but this makes me want to purchase an E30 just to have another option...lol
Hi Ian, I have an E35 and I am also thinking of adding an E25 for shorter trips and hiking. I was wondering if Sony 100-400mm GM Lens would fit in E25 Starter Kit's small core unit?
Good question!
Would be good if the 25L fit a 16inch laptop. Kind of a big deal.
Try a bigger bag.
@@ShimodaDesigns I actually prefer the roll top design on the actionx packs, but those don’t fit a 16inch laptop either. Do you think I can fit a 16inch laptop with a stand alone sleeve in the backside of the action x pack? I think making sure it fits in the pack is more important than it fitting in the built in sleeve.
@@pizzomedia7261 Not exactly sure what you are asking but you can fit a 16MBP in the rear sleeve (it is snug). You can also fit one in the front sleeve/pocket with or without a padded sleeve. This is for all bags except the E25. Explore is a bit nicer as you can also use the top access which limits any contact with the rear panel a zipper. But this can also be avoided by handling your laptop with greater care.
@@ShimodaDesigns I even fit an XPS 17 in the explorer 30, incredibly. Really snug but it works and it allows me to get triple duty out of the bag (hiking, travel and office commute). That increases the bags value exponentially for me!
I wonder if you'd consider making an "Explore V2 mini" for lighter day hikes... Something like a 15-20L with the same level of comfort would be amazing.
@@andreas1701d @Andreas1701 I would try the E25 first. Any smaller and you would not be able to carry much. Also when you get smaller - you also start to experience less comfort. The bigger a bags footprint the more comfort it offers (IMO). The more weight in a smaller area, the less comfort you will experience. The E25 IMO is a very good size for minimal days (relative you your torso size).
Buongiorno!!! e complimenti per i prodotti che vendete...Volevo chiedere se tutte e tre le taglie, quindi sia il 25,30 che il 35 sono in grado di trasportare il treppiede 055 di manfrotto? Grazie in anticipo per la risposta.
How much could the length of the bags (specifically the 30 or 35) be squished if lightly loaded?
Southwest lists under-seat dimensions at 18.5”x8.5”x13.5”.
The Sigma Art lenses I have are on the longer side and I would like to use the medium DSLR core so they stand on end but that means I would need the E35. So if I could squish the length d couple inches it would fit.
Hi, can the 30L fit a DJI Mavic 3 with room for a mirrorless and a couple lenses?
it really depends on the Core Unit on those lens... but likely if nothing is too big.
@@ShimodaDesigns Alright thank you. Also may i ask why Shimoda doesn't offer shipping to Australia?
@@XavierBaker Hi we have have distributor in Australia (Maxxum). It doesn't make much sense to ship across the world when you can already buy it locally. Plus it would not be cheap :)
@@ShimodaDesigns I dont know why i didnt think of that lmao, but yeah that makes total sense and I see why. I actually just purchased an explore v2 30 about an hour ago of Diamonds Camera. I cant wait for it to arrive!
Where can I get those audio filters?! They really do make the audio sound a lot better
Full gear list in the the description but for just the dead cat-- Dead Cats for GoPro: amzn.to/37skMBH -- one thing i would suggest is buying extra. Mine are starting to look a dead cat or cat attack them :)
@@ShimodaDesigns Thanks for the response!
Can the 25l fit a 70-200 lens attached on a Sony r4 body?
Check the actual length of your set up and compare to the internal dims posted on the product page.
shimodadesigns.com/core-unit-small-mirrorless/
Well I'm upset because now I think I need a 25 also. 😁 I was avoiding it because I already got the 30. Just to confirm, could the 25 fit an A7R4 with 24-105 f4 plus 1 additional lens in the core unit?
So I know for the E25 V2 you had the new small mirrorless insert. You referred to the core kit in the E30 as the medium mirrorless. Is it a v2 medium mirrorless, or maybe the older medium mirrorless v1, or even the mirrorless DSLR v2? Or is there some kind of small and medium mirrorless Sorry to keep asking questions here but its just not clear to me. It looks like in the "mirrorless" between old and new there have actually been three units created.
I only use the latest Core Unit's, no discontinued items are used unless noted or old videos. This is the M-ML v2 in the E30. E30 does not take DSLR.
Hi, I'm interested in the travel pouch in the video but couldn't find it on your website. Is it a new product? When will it become available? Great comparison video, definitely gave me a better idea on size. Thanks.
Hi, available to KS Backers after the campaign ends, otherwise not until October to public.
Is it possible to mix the E25 with the medium mirrorless? I've got a A7r3, 24-105, 16-35, a 12mm fisheye, 28/2.8... sometimes I a 100-400 at the top. just wondering if it'll be too tight... (note: sometimes I carry a mavic 2 with extra batteries too)
E25 only takes the Small ML.
Will the 30L pass as a “personal item” for flights under the seat?
The 'personal item' really depends on your airline choice but it will fit under most seats. With that said... those airline seats seam to get smaller every flight.
Great video thanks. I’ve been trying to decide between the E25 or E30. I have a gripped Fuji X-T3 with the 18-55mm kit lens, a 16mm prime and a 35mm prime. I think I’ll ditch the grip and go for the E25.
Hi Ian
Didn't you have a sewing problem packing so bulky clothes in the front pocket?
i'd fear the sewing would break.
Of course there is no sewing problem. Beyond that I wear Teton Bros outerwear, which is extremely lightweight and packs small. The 2 jackets I put there are far from bulky...
I have a Sony A73, 16-35 f2.8, 70-200 f4, and a 50mm 1.4. Can I fit this in the small core unit or will I need the medium?
It will be snug but yes. You may have to remove the hood of the 16 and place in the Core Unit unattached, but it might OK with it on.
I can't seem to buy the V2 in green in Australia, is there a way I could buy one and get it shipped here without costing heaps on shipping?
Hi, you can contact Maxxum Distribution in AU, they sell v2 and most of our gear. Contact info is on the international dealer page on our site. shimodadesigns.com/international/
Can I fit a DSLR in the 30L? I know the 35L is for DSLR, but that one would look huge... I’m only 5’3” or 5’2” petite... anyone?
Hi, no you can not. Only the Mirrorless depth Core Units
Out of interest what tripod model on the bag did you use in the video?
MePhoto Backpacker S. One thing I forgot to mention is that when 100ml Nalgene bottle is 3/4 full it's about the same weight as this tripod, or many travel light tripods. It's a good counter balance - of course that changes over a day...
Hi Ian, can a 14" MacBook Pro fit in the E25 laptop compartment? The dimensions say yes, but just want to be sure.
Laptop Compartment (in):8.9W x 12.6H x 0.8D in.
Not likely in the rear - but it will in the front pocket.
@@ShimodaDesigns Hey Ian, the MacBook Pro 14 does fit inside the laptop compartment of the E25. The 14 Pro is 12.31 x 8.71 x 0.61 inches while the 13 Pro is 11.97 x 8.36 x 0.61 inches, so the only real difference is that it's 0.35 inches wider, which isn't even a centimeter difference. They are the exact same thickness and the E25 can easily accommodate the extra quarter inch or so of height :)
@@ShimodaDesigns Linking your response to the 14" Macbook Pro in 25L question. FYI my 13" macbook air 2014 model is bigger than the M1/2 14" Macbook Pro models. So, Will the M1/2 14" Macbook Pro fit in the E25?
can you put a Shimoda small cube on the top section?
Please view this video for details (e25: No e30:yes) ruclips.net/video/MXZSmN7xgdw/видео.html
Can the 14inch MacBook Pro fit in the e25?
You can fit it in the front sleeve - but it will not fit in the rear.
