Shimoda Designs Action X40 V2 Starter Kit (Army Green, 40L)

The Shimoda Designs Action X40 is designed for aggressive photographers with serious gear needs. It's an efficient and fast-access backcountry camera bag, built for action in foul weather, ever-changing environments, and challenging terrain.

Secure Design

The X40 is designed to carry gripped bodies and will comfortably fit most mirrorless and DSLR cameras up to 6.7 inch (17cm tall) via the DSLR Core Unit series. Its roll-top access allows users to expand or compress the volume to the demands of the day. It features multiple attachment straps, including TPU compression straps for greater durability when attaching skis, and its removable helmet holder lets users secure mountaineering, ski, or bike helmets to the outside of their pack.

Perfect Travel Partner

Action X's interchangeable and adjustable shoulder straps feature two zippered pockets to carry the latest iPhone Pro Max phones, a water bottle, or personal accessories. The Action X40 features a side camera access and two removable tripod or water bottle pouches that can be moved to the belt location for instant access to key accessories like snacks and lenses, or removed completely to save weight. Two padded sleeves protect laptops and tablets up to 16 inch. Finally, the removable belt, luggage-handle pass-through, and hidden AirTag sleeve make the Action X40 a stealthy and stylish partner in urban and travel environments. If you need to carry a gripped camera body and still want a relatively small pack, this is the one for you.

Adjustable Torso Height

The X40 has three height options with approximately 3 inch (9 cm) of vertical adjustment. This means the same backpack can fit short or taller male or female torso heights, ensuring a custom fit for everyone. Those with taller or broader torsos can add the Booster Kit for a greater range in torso fit.

Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System

The X40 utilizes Shimoda Design's DSLR Core Unit series. Core Units provide shockproof protection for Mirrorless and DSLR cameras and lenses, and ensure a user never carries more padding and weight than necessary. The X40 v2 can accommodate the Small, Medium, and Large DSLR sizes. It can also accept the shallower Mirrorless series.

Dual Laptop and Tablet Sleeves

Both rear and front panel padded sleeves fit a laptop up to 16 inch in size. Having two sleeves lets you pack both a tablet and a laptop while providing options for various packing scenarios.

Expandable Roll-Top Access

The Action X series has a roll-top access so the bag can be adjusted to your gear needs while maintaining a tight and compact fit. The roll top can expand with a volume range of 7 L. The top section also has an additional quick-access YKK SplashGuard zipper that makes getting at your gear extremely quick and easy, especially in foul weather.

Hidden Tracking Device Sleeve

A new hidden sleeve holds a personal tracking device so you always know where your pack is. In the unfortunate scenario, your pack goes missing, a tracker can assist in discovering its location and recovering your gear. The sleeve accommodates AirTag and Tile Pro devices.
