It is a light duty camera bag made for everyday adventures, which accommodates common creator tools, including up to a 16-inch laptop, Capture Clip and much more.

Shimoda Urban Explore 30 Backpack with Core Unit Boa in More Detail
Newly developed recycled material
The Cordura re/cor RPET is a Shimoda developed fabric, which is 100% Post Consumer Recycled Polyester, made from PET bottles and packaging. It features GRO Polyester (spun), which is 2x PU Coated, a custom rip stop weave to reduce snags and tears, and is a highly durable fabric, which works in naturally.
Versatile storage
As the middle sized bag in the range, the Shimoda Urban Explore 30 Backpack offers plenty of versatility to bring all of the essentials you need for a day trip. The removable core unit can be configured to fit a camera, lenses, small drone or other items, with both side and rear access to grab your gear and capture the shot.
A top compartment provides some internal space for clothing, snacks and other personal items, and includes three organiser pockets for your phone and other essentials. Two external side pockets with compression straps offer storage for a travel-size tripod, water bottle or similar sized items.
A luggage handle passthrough connects to your roller bag for travel, while a retractable handle and signature base handle are also available for easier grabbing from awkward spaces.
Features for creators
Aside from the main compartment, removable Core Unit and upper compartment, a cable management pockets provides cable access into the main compartment, enabling you to keep your camera topped up with power while stowed away.
Security features
Several features have been designed to keep your gear safe while out shooting and during travels. These include a hidden AirTag sleeve to store your tracking device, a hidden passport and valuables pocket, which is safely tucked away, and the side access can be zipped shut for an added layer of protection.
Protective rain cover
A Shimoda rain cover is included with the Urban series, which is stashed in the bottom sleeve. This not only protects your valuable investment while shooting, but can also be used to protect the outer material from dust, dirt and water while putting the bag down on the ground to access your gear.
Comfortable carrying
Just as all other models from the range, this Shimoda pack includes an internal aluminium frame for additional rigidity. The rear panel utilises breathable airmesh padding to encourage airflow, while being extremely comfortable for all-day photography excursions.
Adjustable shoulder straps are made with the same padded airmesh materials, and the fit is slightly slimmer to accommodate both male and female creators. Lastly, a magnetic sternum strap offers one-handed support for greater comfort with heavier loads, or when you want to keep the pack close to your back.
Camera Core Unit
Inside the pack you’ll find a camera core unit, which can be removed when you don’t need to bring any content gear. The dividers can be configured to suit your requirements and offer plenty of protection for the enclosed equipment. A new divider design simplifies the setup experience and provides just the right level of padding.
Range options
The latest backpacks are available in three sizes, with two colours in each size, highlighted in the table below. Each colour has its own theme with PU or real leather accents and matching zips and interior.
