Shimoda's BEST Camera Bag Yet! - Explore v2 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this video, we review Shimoda's newest and best camera bag for landscape and travel photography, the Explore v2! The newest line of camera bags in the Shimoda family melds many features that we've come to love of the original Explore with a few new features for added functionality and comfortability. In particular, I review the E25, or the 25 liter option of the Explore v2, and discuss how much gear you can fit into the bag, as well as the differences between the 3 different shoulder strap options: the Technical Strap, Women's Simple Strap, and the Women's Technical Strap.
The new Shimoda Explore v2 is extremely modular in both fit and function, making this the closest option on the market to a one-bag-fits-all for landscape and travel photographers. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for being one of the few reviews showing a DSLR in the Shimoda 25L with the small mirror less ICU.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are the first reviewer of the Explorer bag that actually put a full frame lens (the Sigma 150-600) in a core unit and showed it in a video. Shimoda apparently thinks everyone shoots with a Sony. I am getting the E35 because I have a D4 and a possibly gripped D850. I am getting the large DSLR core unit. Not sure if I should get the medium DSLR + small unit. Very hard to visualize. So far I think people agree that the Shimoda is a comfortable bag. Thanks for the review of the features.
Absolutely! I think in your case, a large DSLR unit would be a great fit for the camera bodies that you have. I have a original Medium DSLR ICU and it's a little tight, and am unable to put my Sigma 150-600 on my camera body to store it. I have to store them separately.
I’ve seen many Shimoda bag reviews and this was the best, most thorough review of them all!! Thank you!!
I'm glad that you found it helpful! Thank you!
I already have this bag and I watched the whole video. Thanks Holly. Keep it up.
I have watched several videos on this bag and yours is the best.
Thank you for your excellent review of Shimoda’s nice backpack! I ordered the Explore V2 30L size so that I can get the Large Mirrorless Core Unit for a Nikkor Z 180-600 lens, which is 12.5” long (with stored lens hood). Hopefully it will also permit other lenses like the Nikkor Z 14-30 f/4.
One of best reviews of this bag, thank you!
Love love love the channel! Am so glad they gave you a V2 to review…. Stay unbiased now please thank you love the channel
Best bag review ever!
Thanks for the thorough review!! It was really helpful. 🙂
Great review and video! You went through everything and every time I thought of a question you covered it a moment later.
I'm glad that I was able to cover any questions you had!
Nice job on the review!👍👍👍
Great review! Thanks
Hi. BTW the outer zippered flap on the camera cube opening has an inner pocket where the flap on the camera cube can be inserted. This saves having to open the camera cube door as well as the outer flap pocket. In your vid yo seem to be opening both when accessing your camera.
Awesome review
Thank you!
Nice review, but I would have liked a piece about value for money, looking at the cost compared to that of competitors.
Can I use it as a daily backpack when not using for camera gear?
Can you fit MacBook Pro 14inch?
Curious yiur thoughts. Many reviews on older Shimoda cited how the back panel never touches the ground. It seems Shimoda moved the belt attachment to the back panel and now the belt lays on the ground?
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
Been looking at this bag for a while. Wondered if it was too large for daily use though.
Do you still use it? How has it held up?
Great video! Very helpful. I’ve been looking at Shimoda x30 and F Stop Loka UL. I’ve been using a Mindshift Backlight 18L or 26L, I have a love/hate with them. I don’t like how heavy/thick the waist belt is. I have a Nikon Z6ii, 24-70 f4, 200-500, Sigma Sport 70-200 and plane on getting a 14-30 f4(to replace my 16-35 f4) and a prime. How do you like the PD Capture Clap?
Do they make a 25 with black leather zipper pulls? The brown looks too USA.
Does the Peak Design Clip fit on the mens strap?
What travel tripod do you use?
Great review! Just ordered one a couple of days ago. I’m wondering if you can squeeze in the medium mirrorless cube in there.
I just learned this week that you can! It’s a tight fit, but you can squeeze one in. It’s not designed as such, so just keep that in mind.
@@HollyWalterPhotography awesome!! Thank you for the info.
@Holly Walter Can you still use the side access with a medium cube in the 25L bag?
This bag or any of the shimoda bag (explore) is compatible with Flight carryon?
I got fuji xt4, 16-55 2.8, 56 f1.2, 12mm, 90 f2 and 2 battery, 16inch macbook pro(m1 max) and galaxy tab s7, and few batteries, power bank, adaptors etc.. I need something that carry all this and few dress( jacket, shirt, pants, shoe) and carryon compatible.. I am searching for a bag couldn't get one.
Check out the Shimoda RUclips channel. The bag's designer has made numerous videos on the bag, what it carries ( he has Fuji gear) and airline size compatibility.
I don't like that the material of the woman's tech straps aren't the new material
I totally agree! I’m really hoping that Shimoda will release a new line of Women’s Tech Straps that are the same material as the new ones.
Well done review. Thanks.
