Looks like a great backpack 🎒, would love a backpack like that. In Norway the weather can be a challenge, not easy to protect your gear. Great review 👍
I have Action x50. I love this backpack, straps are comfortable, much better than my Peak Design. The only issue with x50 is that for some airlines it is 2-3 cm above the height limit. x40 seems to have a perfect size.
Hi David - I just bought the x50 v2 - did you ever get told you couldn't bring it on carry on? I have an international flight soon and am a little anxious about it. - thanks
@@brentguilianoI used x50 v1 for carry-on from japan to Indonesia just remove the internal frame and the hipbelt, pack it in your trunk, then roll the top till maximum height for carry-on bag. Idk if it work for Europe or American flight tho 😂
@@brentguiliano Never on international flights (had many of them with this bag). I had some issues with cheap flights inside Europe (Wizzair, Ryanair) but they are usually very rigorous.
Been overwhelmed by looking at all kinds of backpacks/rucksacks and this video got me SOLDDDDD... I'll definitely use your affiliate links for hooking me up! Much love my brudda
I've just bought the Action x30 and the only thing I didn't like was the front pocket. It's a huge pocket, very deep, you can also put your notebook there, but it's too tight. Even without the notebook inside, you can't put much in there, because it won't fit. You can't use all the space inside this pocket because of this. 2 or 3cm more would make this pocket very usefull. That's the only thing I would change in this bag. The rest is perfect!
Love my Shimoda Explore V2. I've been looking at getting an X70 for longer trips, the V2 has come at a great time! Love the yellow, but I think the green is for me!
I ordered the x50 v2 with the large DSLR insert and needed the bigger one for my Sony 200-600mm and when I go to fly with it I will take out the framing and put it in my check luggage so I wont have any problems with it being too big to take as a carry on with me and its sitting in Anchorage Alaska right now on its out to me here in Dillingham alaska and cant wait to get it
I appreciate your insight I’m trying to decide between the dji mini drone and the mavic 3 for content creation in the Philippines 🇵🇭. You have been a great help ! What are your thoughts ? Thx in advance
Awesome 👏 I started a Channel Big Dreams Philippines 🇵🇭 and I’m in need of a new set up for traveling with gear ! This is perfect 👍 ! So happy I found your channel ! You are an inspiration ! Thx 🙏
🇵🇭 I have the Shimoda 25L Explore V2, kabayan! I think that's the size that would make the most sense with the kind of transpo that we have in the Philippines. A lot of people are skeptic about the straps but it will change your mind as soon as you use the bag, see how utilitarian & feel how comfortable they are. I've used Peak Design, Manfrotto, Vanguard, Lowepro & Case Logic. I sold them all to be able to afford the premium price but to me my Shimoda is worth every penny I spent on it. Mabuhay! 🇵🇭
Thank you for your review! I really love the colour and am thinking about buying it but I have one big concern. Does the colour attract insects? I have used a rain cover which is yellow (but a bit more neon and reflective for good visibility) and hundreds of insects were constantly following me in the woods. When I packed it away everything was fine then. Would love to hear from everyone with this pack who has this pack!!
Great review, thank you. Just a quick question. Do you think the lateral pocket, either one, may fit a relatively sturdy (and heavy) tripod such as the Rollei Rock Solid Beta (2kg without central column, shortest segment 65 cm), not including the head and clamp? Again, tx for your time
Hi Jeven, First of thanks for posting a lot of informative videos, even one of your video helped me to chose between DJI and Rode mic. Now Regarding video and audio mixing, I have a few questions: 1. Which software is easy and quick to combine and edit two videos and audios from different cameras? 2. When shooting, do you record audio separately or connect it to each camera? Or does one camera capture the audio while the other captures the video? 3. When using two microphones, such as one clipped on the subject and the other being a shotgun microphone, how do you ensure there is no echo? For example, if one microphone is attached to the subject's shirt on the chest and the other is mounted on one of the cameras, there is a chance of echo. How do you overcome this issue? 4. Since you use two cameras placed at different angles, how do you mix the sounds together without any syncing problems? I will be using two cameras and two microphones - a DJI microphone attached to the subject's shirt (on the chest) and a Rode shotgun microphone on one of the cameras. How can I properly sync the videos and audios from these two different cameras and microphones? Thank you in advance for your guidance!
I have had my Action X30 for a couple of years and it still looks new! Fantastic bag. btw... instead of removing the hip straps, I just tuck them into the back cushion. They are out of the way but available if I need them.
Nice review for You, young and strong guys. Joking in all the comments! Buying the first drone, a DJI Mini 3 PRO COMBO I got one useful little service bag and a large backpack I don't use. Buying the Mavic 3 PRO i dropped the COMBO, getting another bag I most likely wouldn't use. At the age of 70 years a back pack also working as a rest for the bum, I've got the equipment serving me well. Grandpa? No, strangely not. On art when travelling is to minimize the load.... That suits me. Haha, using the backpack as a lighthouse... I use my hairless scull.... Needing "plenty of gear" the trunk of the car is used. Climbing mountains... My video is waiting for the permit to be launched... Zippers.... I've got a backpack having lots of zipped pockets. Good? No! I can't find the things, or I forget tools put there....
What size would you suggest if i want to use it just for bringing my complete DJI Air 3 Fly More Set , together with hiking gear, such as rain coat , food , some clothes. Would the 25L be to small ? Have to reconsider the cabin luggage size as well
@@JevenDovey Thanks .... i just did as suggested. Over here in Holland they not sell the Yellow version so i need to order it directly in UK but then lot of taxes are involved since they are no longer a member of the European Union .
Great video. I used you link to Shimoda but it says the backpack isn't available until November 2023? I was psyched to order this until I ran into this issue. Any ideas?
How's your experience going with international traveling? I've been thinking on getting this bag, but I've also been doubting if it's a better idea to get the Explore 35L v2, I'm afraid this 40L is to big for airplanes. Any thoughts?
This is a brilliant video. I've realised that i don't need to find information on any other channels but this one. You've simplified my life. Thank you.
@@bladerealm124 I mainly use the X40 now which is the newer version of the X50 but slightly smaller. I don't have any major dislikes with it. Very functional if you need an adventure style bag.
I absolutely love the fact that your bag is yellow. I have a North Face I've been using for close to 8 years now. It has served me well and continues to do so, and... It'd YELLOW!
This bag with Internal Core Unit is 2.7 kg plus your MacBook Pro 14 . Total 4.3 kg * ( 9.47 LBS )😅 Many airlines has strong 8kg limit. Max 10kg I am not buying new Shimoda until they use better lighter materials and remove this ugly straps. Good Video. I like new colors Yellow and Teal
Love this video!!! Which size would be ideal as camera backpack used as a personal item tucked underneath airplane seat? So Carryon-on goes on top compartment and personal item under the seat. From airline guidelines perspective.
Great video ! I do not know for sure if the X40 with medium Core Unit V2 DSLR would be a good fit for my equipment or if I would need to take the X50. Do you know if the medium Core Unit V2 DSLR would suit for the following equipments: - D7000 with 70-200 2.8 - Lens 28-200 Nikkor - DJI Mini 4 Pro + 3 batteries + RC2 Thanks in advance

Which bag size is the max for bringing backpack + carry on suitcase on a plane
Being wondering the same thing!
Hello, thanks for a great video can I just ask if your peak design clip digs in to you? Thanks
I don't wanna talk about the price...since it seems worth it Lol.
Great backpack and review, really well and thoughtfully designed
I got one question, does a 105 Sigma Art fit into the cube?

Damn its so cool but expensive 😑
Hey Jeven, which version of the Peak Design Capture Clip do you have attached to this bag?
Does it fit under an airplane seat?
Not available until fall. 😢

25 will work but it will be small. Look at the 35

Hi Jeven, thanks for your video, do you have a video for the best setting "gain expo tuning" for DJI Mavic 3? (Normal, Cine and sport mode)
The problem i always have is whatever i need out the bag is always at the bottom or i cant remember what pocket its in!
Thanks to the bell I’m already watching! Thanks Jeven!
Ayo he released some Angoons footage heck yea!
Can’t wait to share the full bts from our trip up
Yeah, that’s a very interesting bag
Say just curious what the weight is of your fully loaded bag?

I can't find the yellow one.

Yes
Is the back and hipbelt made of mesh on the inside like on the Explore v2?
