FAQs

What size camera bodies and lenses fit in the Medium Mirrorless Core Unit?

The Core Unit is designed for mirrorless camera bodies and a selection of lenses. Specific dimensions can be found in the detailed product specifications on the Shimoda website, but it generally accommodates pro-level mirrorless bodies with attached lenses and several additional lenses.

Can I use this backpack as carry-on luggage?

The Action X30 v2 dimensions are generally within airline carry-on limits, but it is always recommended to check with your specific airline for their most current carry-on size restrictions before traveling.

Is the backpack waterproof?

The backpack is constructed with water-resistant materials and features weather-sealed zippers to provide excellent all-weather protection, but it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged submersion should be avoided.

How do I adjust the torso height?

The torso height is adjusted via a ladder system located on the back panel. Typically, you release a locking mechanism, slide the harness to the desired height, and re-secure the lock.

Can I remove the Core Unit?

Yes, the Core Unit is fully removable, allowing you to use the backpack shell for other purposes or to reconfigure the internal layout extensively.

What is the purpose of the hidden tracking device sleeve?

This sleeve is designed to discreetly hold a GPS tracking device, providing an extra layer of security and peace of mind in case the backpack is lost or stolen.

Troubleshooting

Backpack feels uncomfortable

Adjust the torso height and shoulder straps for a personalized fit. Ensure weight is distributed evenly.

Camera is difficult to access

Reconfigure the Core Unit dividers to optimize access paths for your most frequently used gear.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant. Gently work the zipper back and forth.

Core Unit dividers won't stay in place

Ensure the Velcro tabs on the dividers are firmly attached to the corresponding surfaces inside the Core Unit.
