Built for Adventure Photography
The Shimoda Action X30 v2 is designed for photographers working in changing weather, challenging terrain and fast-moving environments. Its compact, low-profile shape provides a comfortable fit while hiking, cycling, skiing or travelling between locations.
The backpack is suitable for most non-gripped mirrorless and DSLR cameras measuring approximately 13cm in height when used with a compatible Shimoda Mirrorless Core Unit. This makes it a practical choice for photographers who want dependable equipment protection without carrying an unnecessarily bulky pack.
Expandable Roll-Top Storage
A roll-top opening allows the backpack’s storage capacity to expand or compress according to the demands of the day. Keep it compact when carrying a lightweight setup or extend the compartment to accommodate clothing, food and additional outdoor equipment.
The roll-top design provides useful separation between personal belongings and the dedicated camera storage area, making the X30 v2 particularly suitable for day hikes, landscape photography and location assignments.
Fast Side Camera Access
Side camera access allows you to reach your equipment without opening the entire backpack. This makes it easier to respond quickly when the light changes or an unexpected photographic opportunity appears.
With a compatible Shimoda Core Unit installed, your camera and lenses can remain organised, protected and ready to use while you move between locations.
Adjustable Shoulder Harness
The Action X30 v2 features adjustable and interchangeable shoulder straps, allowing the carrying system to be configured for a more secure and comfortable fit.
Two zipped pockets built into the shoulder straps keep important items close at hand. Depending on the item’s size, these pockets can accommodate a large smartphone, compact water bottle, snacks or other frequently used accessories.
The supportive waist belt helps distribute heavier loads across the body and can be removed when carrying lighter equipment or using the backpack around town.
Flexible External Equipment Storage
Multiple external attachment points provide flexible storage for tripods, trekking equipment, skis and other bulky items. Durable TPU compression straps offer additional resistance to wear when attaching demanding outdoor equipment.
Two removable pouches can be used to carry a tripod, water bottle or similar accessory. These pouches can be mounted on the sides of the backpack or transferred to the waist belt, placing essentials such as lenses, drinks or snacks within easy reach.
When they are not required, the pouches can be removed completely to reduce weight and create a cleaner profile.
Removable Helmet Holder
The included helmet holder allows a mountaineering, skiing or cycling helmet to be secured to the outside of the backpack. This preserves valuable internal storage space while keeping your helmet conveniently accessible between activities.
The holder can be removed when it is not required, allowing the backpack to be adapted for photography, travel or everyday use.
Laptop and Tablet Protection
Two padded sleeves protect laptops and tablets measuring up to 16 inches. This makes the Action X30 v2 a versatile option for photographers and content creators who need to review, edit or back up their work while travelling.
The combined laptop compartment measures approximately 25.5 × 38 × 2cm.
Ready for Travel
A luggage-handle pass-through allows the Action X30 v2 to be secured to compatible wheeled luggage, making it easier to move through airports, railway stations and other busy environments.
A hidden AirTag sleeve provides a discreet location for an Apple AirTag, helping you keep track of the backpack while travelling. The included rain cover supplies an additional layer of protection when weather conditions deteriorate.
Core Unit Compatibility
This product is supplied as a backpack shell and does not include a padded camera insert. A compatible Shimoda Core Unit must be purchased separately to organise and protect cameras, lenses and other sensitive equipment.
The low-profile Action X30 v2 is designed around Shimoda’s Mirrorless Core Unit series and will accommodate most non-gripped mirrorless and DSLR cameras measuring approximately 13cm tall. Always compare the dimensions of your equipment with the chosen Core Unit before purchasing.
