Shimoda Core Unit Medium DSLR v2

Professional-Level Protection for Gripped DSLR & Pro Mirrorless Systems

The Shimoda Core Unit Medium DSLR v2 is engineered for photographers carrying mid- to pro-sized camera bodies, including gripped mirrorless and DSLR systems. With deeper internal dimensions, it accommodates larger camera setups — including bodies as tall as a Canon EOS-1DX or Nikon D5 with a mounted 70–200mm f/2.8 lens.

Designed for modular flexibility, durability and seamless integration with Shimoda backpacks, this insert ensures maximum protection without unnecessary bulk.

Built for Pro-Sized Camera Kits

The DSLR-depth design is ideal for:

• Gripped mirrorless bodies

• Gripped DSLR bodies

• Larger camera systems requiring extra internal depth

It offers sufficient room for pro bodies such as:

• Canon EOS-1DX series

• Nikon D5 series

While equally capable of protecting larger mirrorless or compact DSLR kits.

Seamless Backpack Integration

The Medium DSLR Core Unit v2:

• Integrates perfectly with the Action X50 side-access system

• Fits all other Shimoda backpacks and rollers

• (Excluding the Action X30 model)

This ensures smooth gear access without compromising protection.

Modular Stacking Flexibility

The Medium Core Unit can be stacked with a Small Core Unit to create internal volume similar to a Large insert.

This provides multiple configuration options:

• Use Medium alone

• Use Small alone

• Combine both for expanded capacity

Modular design allows you to scale protection depending on your assignment.

Advanced EVA Protection System

Shimoda’s use of EVA laminated sidewalls and dividers provides:

• Superior shock absorption

• Greater structural integrity

• Thinner walls with increased internal space

• Enhanced durability compared to standard PE foams

An integrated aluminium frame further increases rigidity and load support.

Lightweight Multi-Purpose Skin

The included removable Skin serves dual purposes:

1. Dust-proof storage case when gear is not in use

2. Packing cell for clothing or accessories during travel

Water-resistant and lightweight, it enhances versatility without adding unnecessary weight.
