Explore v2 25L Backpack Starter Kit (w/ Small Mirrorless Core Unit)
The Shimoda Explore V2 Starter Kit is an adventure-ready camera backpack that shows up ready to work. It comes with the Small Mirrorless Core Unit, which means you can slide in your mirrorless body, a couple lenses, and a few essentials. It’s light, protective, and dialed from the jump.
The Explore V2 itself is made for serious terrain: weatherproof fabrics, side and rear access, comfy harness system, laptop sleeve, and just the right amount of external straps and stash pockets. It’s the bag you grab when you're catching sunrise at the summit or hopping a flight with your essentials.
Everything feels secure, easy to reach, and built to keep moving. The modular design means you can swap out core units as your gear grows, but this setup nails it for lean-and-mean mirrorless shooters. Less bulk, more adventure, and zero camera juggling.
