In this video I check out the new ⁠‪@ShimodaDesigns‬ Urban Explore 25L and see if it can take my whole Fujifilm GFX kit for Landscape Photography. While this is not a full review of the Shimoda Urban Explore - I hope it helps you fellow landscape photographers when considering your next camera bag!!

Nicely packed 🙃🙃🙃

@fourdayweekend. 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. Looking at camera bags to buy one :)

@Chromatomic 4 месяца назад

Perfect video to watch, just switched to the GFX a few months ago and awaiting the 30L version of this bag. I think the 30L insert is the same as the explore v2 so might have a bit extra room but glad to see a similar kit.

@JarredSpec 4 месяца назад

Yup the 30L can take the medium core units from memory, would be spot on. Still kicking myself for screwing up my order 😂😂🤦‍♂️

@bernieshore 4 месяца назад

Nice video mate, 25L is a great size. Just started using the Fjallraven Kajka 35L and it’s a good usable size rather than the larger 40-45L bags on market. Great stuff 👌

@JarredSpec 4 месяца назад

Thanks man! Yeah my Explore 35L is fantastic - I can’t imagine using anything bigger than that without back problems 😂😂😂

@bernieshore 4 месяца назад

Sorry just changed my comment to 25L 😂 great video. Yeah plus you end up taking way more than you need…”just in case”!

@boomboomboba 3 месяца назад

Be aware...Shimoda says this fits a 16" laptop but it is very tight. You won't be storing and removing that laptop with one hand. If you have a case on your $3400 MacBook Pro (like I do) it's very difficult to store and remove. After the 16" laptop is in, that front pocket also gets tight and much less usable. Anything you put in the front pocket better be very thin. I think a dedicated zipper area would have been better than having its access be INSIDE of another compartment. The larger 30L version doesn't appear to have more room for a laptop than the 20L. Both say they hold a 16" laptop.

@JarredSpec 3 месяца назад

Yeah I found fitting a 15” Laptop into my Explore 35L tough too, despite it being rated for one, I think Shimoda base their sizing on the Apple laptops. That said I’m not really one to travel with a laptop - dont even own one anymore :)

@KevinMaschke1 3 месяца назад

Nice video! I've just ordered one as a more daily bag because I've got the big Lowepro Whistler 450 and it's just too big. Btw, what L-Brackets do you use? I'm looking for one for my X-H2S!

@JarredSpec 3 месяца назад

Smallrig are my go to for L Brackets. Been using them since my X-T3 :)

@vanlee0831 3 месяца назад

I bought 20L . This bag is almost perfect for me except it can’t stand well.

@JarredSpec 3 месяца назад

The perfect bag is always tough hah. I think I have six camera bags all up 😂😂

@vanlee0831 3 месяца назад

@@JarredSpec This Shimoda Urban 20L ( which I have ) lean forward slightly empty , so if you put stuff in , it easily loses its balance.

@trowawayacc 4 месяца назад

One completly unrelated question. Where do dead camaras go? Does fuji have any death camara collecting operation?

@JarredSpec 4 месяца назад

That’s a good question! It was the main board on my X-T4 that died - figured it was worth repairing so I can at least sell it off. I imagine standard e-waste (computers etc) would take them

HI Jarred, thank you for a very informative video. I have been leaning towards the explore v2 for quite some time, long enough that shimoda made a new bag. It looks very nice and less bulky than the explore v2. I have a similar kit, i was worried if it would fit. You dissipated that. Myother fear is that the lack of hip belt will be a real problem. I am not a big guy, and you do mention towards the end that the explore v2 is more confortable. AFter how long do you feel the kit you showed gets unconfortable for you and you miss the hip belt ? Thanks, cheers form France Edit: forgot to ask: is the side access big enough for the gfx?

@JarredSpec 3 месяца назад

I don’t use the hip belt myself (I removed mine from the Explore). The shoulder straps on the Explore are the more comfortable part, they’re wider and spread the load a bit more. I’d definitely suggest the Explore v2 over the Urban Explore if you expect to be going on some several hour hikes. I think the 30L would be the sweet spot in either bag if your kit is similar to mine. Side access for the GFX in the Urban Explore 25L would be a squeeze I think, definitely easier on the Explore v2 or the 30L version of the Urban Explore (dont use the side access feature myself)
