Protective Modular Camera Insert for Mirrorless & DSLR Systems

The Shimoda Core Unit – Large Mirrorless is a premium padded camera insert designed to deliver shockproof protection for mirrorless, SLR and non-gripped DSLR camera systems.

Ideal for professional and adventure photographers, this Core Unit ensures you never carry more padding or weight than necessary.

Optimised Depth for Mirrorless Systems

The Mirrorless depth design accommodates:

• Mirrorless camera bodies

• Non-gripped DSLRs up to 12cm (4.7in) tall

• Lenses longer than a 70-200mm f/2.8

The reduced depth allows for:

• Reduced bulk and weight

This makes it ideal for travel and adventure photography.

Seamless Side Access Compatibility

The Large Mirrorless Core Unit integrates perfectly with:

• Shimoda Action X30

• Shimoda Explore V2 30

It also fits all Shimoda backpacks and rollers except the Explore V2 25.

Designed to maximise internal carrying volume without wasted space.

Modular Stacking System

For larger loadouts, the Core Unit can be stacked above or below another Core Unit, allowing photographers to expand carrying capacity modularly within compatible larger packs.

This system provides flexibility for:

• Multi-body setups

• Hybrid photo/video kits

• Extended expeditions

Superior EVA Protection

Unlike many inserts that use lower-grade PE foam, Shimoda uses EVA laminated sidewalls and dividers, offering:

• Greater shock absorption

• Enhanced durability

• More precise density control

• Thinner walls with superior protection

An internal aluminium frame adds additional rigidity and structural support.

Lightweight Multi-Purpose Protective Skin

The included removable Skin serves two functions:

1. Protective Storage Case – Keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust-free when not in use.

2. Packing Cell – Can be filled with clothing or personal items for travel use.

This adds versatility beyond camera protection.
