Medium Core Unit
- Use inside pack to hold and protect your photo gear while offering fast access in your bags
- The Core Unit's shorter depth allows for more efficient packing scenarios and leads to a lower profile in your backpack
- Orientate it vertically to integrate with the side access of the Explore v2 30 backpack
- Interior holds a mirrorless or non-gripped DSLR camera up to 4.7" (12cm) tall with lenses as long as a 70-200mm f/2.8
- Holds cameras like the Fuji X-T4 and Sony a7 series but can accommodate a Canon 5D or similar size
- EVA foam-laminated dividers protect equipment and prevents it from knocking together
- Interior is a bright-yet-subtle blue color, which makes locating items inside the unit quick and easy
How It's Made
- Rear and side access options: The side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack, and the anti-theft rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for less time-sensitive shooting situations
- Lightweight and wear-resistant ripstop nylon shell treated with a highly water-resistant and wear-resistant Carbonate Ether polyurethane coating
- Lockable water-resistant splashguard YKK zippers increase security and protection for your valuable gear
- Free-standing padded base features a lightly padded panel to add more protection when placing the pack down and able to stand without any assistance
- Base panel also features two ventilation holes to limit any potential condensation buildup inside the base area
- Lightweight rain cover provides an extra layer of protection in wet conditions and it stows in its own pouch for easy storage
How you Carry and Wear It
- Convenient side handle allows you to carry it like a conventional bag for easier handling at checkpoints and on planes or use it as a luggage handle trolley strap
- Handles on the top and the base make picking the pack up easier and safer
- Can be carried using the built-in handle along its top or by its padded shoulder straps which can be adjusted upward or downward for a better fit
- Removable EVA foam padded waist belt transfers weight to the hips for additional comfort with mesh sleeve to quickly stash trash and a gear loop for carabineers, ice axes and even small tripods
- Adjustable sternum strap limits unintentional shifting around the wearer
Improved Aired-Out Harness System
- "Aired-out" system allows air to flow through the perforated mesh and EVA foam cushioning that makes the harness feel comfortable and cool on your torso
- Weight-distributing shoulder strap shape and fit help support the load—instead of the weight pulling backwards, like most common camera backpack harnesses, the straps distribute weight across the chest area
- Fully customizable for the perfect fit, no matter your size
- Swappable shoulder straps allow you to install optional Shimoda straps that offer a better and more comfortable fit
- Three torso height options with approximately 3-inches (7.5 cm) of vertical adjustment allows the same backpack to fit short or tall torso lengths, ensuring a custom fit for everyone
