Thanks for the kind words ArgoFowl

great review. i see a lot of explore review in the larger sizes, but this is the first 25l. thank you for sharing

[@teddyv_photos6568]

Thanks for the kind comments...

What size phone can you fit in the strap pocket? Also how does it fit on you? Every review I see online about the 25l are from people that are 5'4" or under. Since I'm 5'8" it's difficult to visualize how big it would be on my body.

I am 5’5 … fits well on me… I use iPhone 12pro max….

@@teddyv_photos6568Thanks!

[@billz4795]

thanks - but do you know what cubes will work - per Shimoda they only list Small Mirrorless Core Unit ???

[@teddyv_photos6568]

Shimoda cubed or other camera cubes….? I used Shimoda. Nanuk and peak design and my favorite right now is peak design in my bags as they are a little bit more malleable when putting the cubes in and taken out

GREAT review thank you for taking th time to review it in detail, I've been tossed between this bag and the Wandrd PRVKE 21L for travel in Asia with my Fuji XT4. Thanks again!

[@teddyv_photos6568]

I am glad I was able to help you…

[@sidbrun_]

Which one did you pick? Having the same debate

[@guiom2510]

Thank you very much ! Don’t know what to choose between 25L and 30L. I have exactly the same set up than you (xt3 / sx10 and the same lense). Your video answered to many of my questions !! Can the xs10 + 50 to 200 attached fits in the unit + the xt3 and the 18-55 ? Thanks a lot

[@teddyv_photos6568]

Yes no issues with that camera and lenses in a x30 or 25 …. Just tested in a large dslr camera cube and a mirror less cube

[@Barbara-qr4gq]

A very informative review👏. one question is the insert the one that is supplied with the bag or is it slightly larger.one and therefore a separate purchase? Thank you from a fellow Fuji shooter😊

[@teddyv_photos6568]

I have the one that I bought with the bag in this one. I did put a Large Core Mirrorless one in it now and it fits very tight but usuable. It does take up a lot of the room up top and do not have extra space to carry more items in the top portion of the bag.

[@eheheh3263]

I want to get this backpack but I’m undecided as to what color to get... 😆 thank you for the review

[@teddyv_photos6568]

I am Partial to black but alot of photographers seem to choose the green one…. I think it’s truly a great bag. Thanks for commenting and please subscribe as I will do some more reviews on my other shimoda bags soon

[@CalmSitar-sw5wf]

Will it fit the 80-400 Fuji? Thx!

[@teddyv_photos6568]

I dont think so... sorry for not replying sooner...I am on the rtoad now, but I will measure it when I get back and reply here...

[@anuvah1152]

Great review. Are those pouches set with the bag?

[@teddyv_photos6568]

The pouches found inside are separate purchase… thanks for viewing

[@hannesbauer1505]

What is that crasy looking tripot?

[@TedVynorius]

Peak Design tripod with aspen ball head from Colorado Tripod Company… hope this helps

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

I'm looking at this bag but wondering how the straps will fit in a pretty tall person and afraid that the waist straps will sit on my chest. And also will that hold my Canon R6 with 35,85 and 135 prime lenses sigma. Looks a bit cramped

[@teddyv_photos6568]

The load bearing straps that connect by the shoulders can be moved up and down depending on the body size. I am 5’5 and I use the small setting but there is a medium/large adjustment. I use Fuji and Sony cameras and lenses with no issues. I think the shimoda creator shoots with any or Nikon with no issues. They sell different size inserts to use depending on the model of bag you use. Good luck on your decision as Shimoda Bags are the most comfortable bags I own!
