I gotta say, I have been watching so many camera bag video trying to find the right one and I'm sick in the head watching them, but yours was so refreshing. You also did what 70% of the reviewers failed to do. Actually show what can fit inside. Thanks so much.
Great job on the video David! Thanks for making it.
I have a Shimoda Explorer. Love this bag. By far my favorite bag. This one looks really cool.
Awesome review David! I’ve watched a ton of videos on this and had been wavering on which size to get but this convinced me that 30L was the size for me. Thanks!
Thank you for the review and insight..appreciate it and this bag will definitely be a consideration for a new bag..
It's a great bag. Shimoda crushed it. Compliments my 2 other Shimoda bags really well. Favorite feature - the capture clip strap design. Freakin awesome! Also, great video bud.
Man, how crazy is it that Shimoda solved the Peak Design Capture Clip issue before Peak Design did!
@@DavidManningvlogRIGHT!? And now it needs to be on every bag
One thing I love about my lowepro backpack is the small felt lined pocket on the top front which protects anything you don’t want scratched like sunglasses etc.
I did about 200 flights to 60+ countries between 2017-2019. Did have a plastic belt at one point, but they usually make you take them off anyway. Thanks for the vid, like the bag.
Crushed this overview - got more real world info from this - thanks!
Thanks man, appreciate you watching!
Thank you for the video. I’ve have actually already taken delivery of my Shimoda Urban Explorer 25L in black that I bought during the Kickstarter campaign. I have two other Explorer V2 bags at 30L and 35L and an older Explorer V1 version as well. Obviously love their bags and have a different kit inside each one. The new Urban version is perfect for my lighter travel kit. Really recommend these bags. Happy to answer any questions. Take care.
I have the Explore V2 30L and the under the seat option is one of the bigger reasons I got it along with the guaranteed european carry on size for when I travel outside the country. I love it even though I've only had it for a few weeks now. Shimoda really makes some fantastic bags!
The edits on this one is perfect. The bag itself is so dope! 🤟
Appreciate it! Loving this thing so far🙌
Waited to the end to mention it fits under the seat 😊
Great review!
Hahaa! Gotta watch it all! I mean, the VERY ending is the best on this one in my opinion🤣
David, that bag packs a lot! They have obviously thought through the problem with each backpack has, and solved all I can think of!
That's sort of where I was at with it. I was really struggling to come up with cons for this pack!
I love my Shimoda explorer v2 bag which is very similar. I love that clip strap feature that's awesome!
Man, the amount of people that have said that about their Shimoda bags really says something about their products. They're so good, their customers become passionate about their work. Love that man!
Picked up the 25L two weeks ago and used it just this past week for a shoot. It's a great bag with a lot features that fit what I'm looking for and my needs. Having two laptop sleeves was a bonus. While I don't have that much gear to pack, I am considering returning it and getting the 30L instead. In several weeks I'll be flying out to a shoot for the first time (and it's international!) and just don't think I could pack what I need in the 25L. From your video showing the 30L and how it was packed, it definitely looks like the 30L is the way to go.
Thinking about getting the 25L. My only camera bag currently is the Prvke Lite and I love it but I need something for longer trips or when I need to take more of my gear. I love that the Prvke Lite fits under the front seat on a flight.
Looks solid! Every brand should take note of the extra camera clip slot and airtag pocket. Those are awesome.
Both are so clutch🙌
Thanks for the review! I’m definitely between this Shimoda Urban Explore vs a “All New” Wandrd Prvke.
I really like the Wandrd PRVKE bags. But I LOVE my Shimoda Explore V2.
Glad you got it, I had it in my calendar that they are dropping a new pack didn't expect you to drop a vid WOOOOO
My first time with a Shimoda and so damn stoked!
Good video man
5'10" 165, all about the details in sizing and fitting good job my man
Love that on websites when they say how tall the model is!
Great video! Always been a big fan of Shimoda. I wish the side access was on the left side instead of the right. My question is... is the internal pocket fixed, or is it removable?
Hi David,
Nice video! Does this exterior material brushes off easily with dirt and/or lint/pet hair? Love black but lint/pet hair are my pet peeves.
thought I knew what my next camera bag was going to be...now I am reconsidering this one. if I do, it would be the 25L
Ian returned to his roots at F-stop having the large top pocket (Tilopa) and the internal frame. But this time the camera cube has the frame. I have an X30 Shimoda. I like everything about it but the material. It is noisy when hiking. It gets distracting when hiking and filming. If I traveled more this Urban Explore bag would be a consideration. My Mindshift Daylight 18L continues to be my most used bag.
Our Explore line has pretty much the same top pocket... and I'll never return to those roots... :)
👍😁@@ianmillar382
Hi David! Thanks for the video. Looks like the perfect backpack. Does it stand by itself when fully loaded?
It's funny, the more you load it, the better it stands by itself. But it's for sure a balancing act. I'm not one to stand my backpack up though, so not a deal breaker for me
Can you put a smaller camera cube in so u can have some cameras gear plus some clothes etc in the main section?
Looks very nice….very long breakdown! With you through it all! DJI mic 2 oooooo
I'm passionate about my bags! Hahaha
Great review! Will the Ronin 3 Mini gimbal fit in the top pocket if you take the tripod legs off?
For the Key clip..I would rig a Peak design anchor link..and you can put the anchor circular connector/loop(the loop you put on your camera) on your keychain?..lol
I love it when you show hidden pockets and say people have no clue where they are, all 12 thousand who saw your video! 🤣🤣
Awesome review……I’m thinking of getting the 20L…any chance you will get your hands on that size to review?
I'm not sure I'll get any of the other sizes, but go check out Brandon Talbot's video on it. He got the 20L and was stoked > ua-cam.com/video/wcfsphmzHjY/v-deo.htmlsi=4zXJbGynW6tOpTEW
Does it stand upright when you put it on the ground?
Just as an idea... you could also hide the AirTag in to the hidden pocket! :)
Hi David! Does the top pocket fit a disassembled dji rs3 pro gimbal? Thank you
great review! if you have the boundary supply prima system, how does it compare it terms of comfort ?
Dang. I really wish this bag had a hip strap and could do a bladder. Would love it for mountain biking, hiking and the daily. Their other bags are cool but also don’t do bladders.
Hey David, i looked at this one in a shop today and almost bought it, but i felt that the zipper on the side was not really that smooth. In fact, i thought it felt rather choppy to open and close the side lid. Now i am not sure if i just had a bad zipper or if it needs some time to become smoother. Did that zipper on your bag work always well for you?
Is it possible to fit a large cube in the 30l urban explore ?
And also , can the medium cube fit mavic 3 , pro controller , A7iv 24-105 and 100-400 g master ???
Hey, thank for this interesting video.
I have a question. My 25L PM Nomatic is a little bit too small so I am considering support for this 30L.
I want to fit my two cameras with their lenses. They make 33cm long, a bit more maybe 33,5 or 34… the core unit is 33cm long… can you tell if the core unit can support a little more than the 33cm by distord or the frame will be too hard for that king of twist ?
I'm thinking of backing either the 25 or the 30 and I'm wondering how exact are the dimensions of the core unit?
My d7200 and 80-400g measures at just under 11", larger than the 10.6 in internal height of the 25L core unit. Would it fit with some coaxing? I would really like to use the smallest bag I can get away with that'll hold the camera with that lens attached and 1-2 others.
Fits also on the top in the airplane?
What size camera cube do you have in that one?
Is the Extra strap for the Capture Clip ambidextrous? Or is it only on one side?
Great review, super in depth as always, but the biggest con to the bag had nothing to with the bag itself but in the price point. $280 - $340 for a very minimal bag seems a bit excessive. The Action X V2 and the Explore V2 are far more feature rich (and robust in build quality) but some of the smaller sizes in those collections are coming in around the same price point as all versions of the Urban Explore bag. Just to state it the bag is phenomenal but in terms I think the price point should be a bit lower. While I love Shimoda bags and honestly use nothing but their bags it's hard to justify paying more for less.
Always looking for a good bag. I tend to over pack and then pay the price after having it on my back all day.
The internal frame feels like magic on this thing! I mean, outdoors backpacks have known for years that if you're carrying load, then an internal frame is incredibly useful, but camera backpacks have never seemed to grasp that idea
what would you choose? This backpack or the Wandrd Prvke?
Definitely this bag
Hi mate,I have a peak design 30l v1 bag where I pack fully up to 6-8kg daily usage. I found out the shoulder strap to quite hard,painful for long day wearing the bag and no cushion like this new shimoda bag had.
I did have shoulder pain after days wear the PD bag.
Just to check and appreciate if you could share some opinions:
1)Does this bag feel better in term shoulder cushion,weight distribution etc? Would consider to get this to replace my PD 30L everyday backpack.
2)does the top pocket able to fit a peak design tech pouch(if you had 1)😂(feel like you would😅)
Nice video btw man. ❤
Yea I have the exact same question
But the bag I’m using now is the onemo from pgytech which fits very well all my gear but is sadly not very comfy for me on a long day as I haul 100-400 c 24-105 and 17-28 with mini3 pro kit and the usual nd filters and stuff
maybe i am silly but how do you carry a jacket or trouser?
You mention about Peak Design Capture Clip STRAP - but what's about ulanzi - will be good for that backback?
The Falcam backpack strap fits it perfectly👍
Hi David! Great review. I have a question though, can the 25 or 30L fit a thick laptop in an EVA case on the back or front laptop compartment? Mine is an ASUS TUF 15.6 gaming laptop at 3cm Thickness that I put in an EVA case for additional protection with 4.5cm thickness when the laptop is inside. I'm just curious because most of my camera bags will fit my laptop but with the Hardshell EVA case then it wont fit anymore. I'm a casual gamer and have mirrorless camera gears and a small drone when I travel. Laptop EVA case with Laptop inside Dimensions are: Length 28cm x Thickness 4.5cm x Height 49cm. Hope you can answer. Thank you!
where can i buy the bag? the link in the description get me to kickstarter and there is no shop ...
Seems like the laptop sleeve is still tight for 16 inch MBP. 😢 It’s a pain to fit my 16 inch MBP into the Explore v2 35L.
Link to the shimoda bag doesn't seem to work. Might want to relink it. Thanks for another great video!
Seems to work on my end. Mind trying it again to see if something changed?
@@DavidManningvlog Working now! Cheers
that is an awesome looking back pack. i would have liked to know the price, and where to buy, the link you shared just goes to the kickstarter page, so i assume its not for sale yet?
i really need to look into getting a new bag, as mine is 13 years old, and not fit for purpose anymore.
They're launching on Kickstarter first at a 25% discount🙌
@@DavidManningvlog thank you. i will look into it :)
I can’t purchase it with the link 😪
I'd like to see the accessibility of the camera from side pocket!
In my 20L urban explorer, the laptop doesn’t go in the place mentioned in the video. It slides into yet another compartment accessed from the top compartment
They both have that slot for the laptop also. On the 20L, the backdoor slot is a bit smaller and you can only use the top slot and on the 30L you can use either option
What if your a short king? Would this be good for you like if you 5’5?
I would go for the 25L👍
Nice bag! Will you be sharing any thoughts on the new A9 III?
If I can get my hands on it! I'm hoping to get an early press version for a video, but that's only if Sony can make it happen
Any news on when shimoda will be selling these again? As these are a kickstarter campaign I believe?
They’re available right now at tech stores (like B&H)
Awesome bag..but kinda nit picking on one thing..the "side pockets for tripods/water bottle"..one side has extra "sleeve/pockets" at the 10:16 mark ..that is nice!.but the other side at the 9:44 mark ..pause the video..(where David is touching and holding with his fingers)..that inner part....they could have attached an inner pocket as well..on the same inner sleeve strap part where it swings away.. obviously not on the side where the side access door goes..
maybe just a pocket? without the "pen holder tabs"......seemed like a missed opportunity...in my opinion you can never have enough "pockets" for things..lol..like the saying goes..its better to have and not need..then need and not have...lol just my opinion..haha
It's a no-go for me. I don't particularly appreciate how the laptop is accessed. You must open the other compartment or the top to get to it. I travel quite often with my laptop for work and it’s a hassle to get to the laptop if there already items in the top pocket. I need a laptop where I can access the laptop without having to open other parts of the bag.
Wow….that’s a big issue….🤣🤣🤣 people are so lazy and irritated by the most pointless things….
you'd never know there's a hidden pocket nor an airtag pocket... if you don't have internet hahahahah, EVERYBODY is talking about it LOL
Hahaha If a thief is clever enough to steal a bag and then research on the internet about that bag, then more power to him!
@@DavidManningvlog sure coz thieves don't have phones, nor internet, nor care about what they steal... makes a lot of sense... most thieves, know the products they steal, to know how much to resell them... just saying...
You missed one of the most important details! The price
People will take the whole bag with the gear inside so not a good idea to put passport in the hidden pocket, maybe an Apple tracking pod instead :-)
The nice thing is that with the AirTag pocket upfront, chances are that even if they steal your gear, they'll probably ditch the bag. When you recover the bag, boom, you've got your passport back!
13ish….. a lot of DGI here
Hahhaaa! No chance my mouth says DJI. I’ve just resided to the fact that my mouth can’t do it!
@@DavidManningvlog 🤣🤣
Crap. I need to buy this before an upcoming trip....
Now that I've used it longer, I love it even more❤️
Hidden pocket? If I'm gonna rip you off, I'm taking the whole damn backpack. I'm not searching for your passport or wallet through the bag.
Just wish it had a hip belt
This is a near perfect bag for most people. The empty space on the front of the bag could've been utilized better by adding elastic cords, loop attachment points, or something on the front of the bag for exterior storage/carrying options.
These bags aren’t meant for that…go get the explore bags or action x bags…..these are built for city breaks or weekends away not hiking of the beaten track….how much gear do people need to carry….🙈🙈
backpack looks very nice but i guess it gets scratched pretty easily as i see from different youtubers .I have 40 dollars backpacks that can take more abuse. Only thing i don't like
no waist belt, bye
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bye then….
