Shimoda Explore V2 35L with Large DSLR Cube: My Canon/Godox Portrait Loadouts: What's in My Bag

[@nicktrieu8129]

I'm glad I found your video. I might have a corporate event early next year and was contemplating between the Shimoda 35L Explorer v2 and the new 30L Urban Explorer. I might buy the Explorer v2 now. Thanks for video.

You are very welcome! I’m glad it was helpful. Enjoy your new bag.

This review definitely sold me. I was thoroughly impressed with how much you managed to throw in there and kept thinking “there’s no way that fit in there”. Amazing video!!

[@photographybydaniellee]

Yes, it is a phenomenal bag that holds way more than you will ever need for a shoot.

Great video Daniel! I just picked up the Action X70 V1 at a crazy discount at B&H. I am also an owner of the Explore 35L V2, Explore 60L and the Action X50 V1. All great bags that allow me to ramp up or down based on my needs.

[@photographybydaniellee]

Yes, I am fighting the urge to get Action X V2. It looks like an amazing bag.

Thanks for such a detailed demo, this is exactly the setup I'm looking to buy with the Large DSLR Core unit

[@photographybydaniellee]

You are very welcome. I hope your bag hunt went well.

[@tonyjohnson3752]

You have a great presentation style, nicely done!

[@photographybydaniellee]

Thank you so much!!! I hope you have a great year.

[@sv1201]

Bought one based on your review. Thanks!

[@photographybydaniellee]

Wow! That’s awesome! I think you will enjoy it.

[@Kuzumby]

Thank you so much for showing the bag in use, I get tired of the desk tours. Are you going to pick up the Urban Explorer?

[@photographybydaniellee]

You are very welcome. I would love the Urban Explorer, but the bags I have now are doing a good job.

Great review and show of your use case! I love my Shimoda Explore v2 bags. I have all 3 sizes, 25 for my wife and 30/35 for me. But I start to think having two for myself is overkill, but I can't decide which one to keep, medium or large :)

[@photographybydaniellee]

I had such a hard time deciding which one to get. I like the bag so much, I wouldn’t mind having the 25 liter also. You know what, spoil yourself and enjoy them both.

[@michaelbeatson7866]

Hey Daniel! Thanks for the great video. Do you know what size the camera insert/box is that come with the bag?

[@photographybydaniellee]

I think the medium DSLR core unit comes with the 35L bag. I actually bought mine with the large DSLR core unit and then bought the medium one later. I use them both.

[@JaroslavBengl]

Great review! 👍🏻Bag looks really good.

[@photographybydaniellee]

Thanks! I’m really enjoying it.

[@JaroslavBengl]

@@photographybydaniellee I've got few years ago Peak Design 35l backpack, which I like a lot, but it's side loading based and you can't open it like yours. With more lens and equipment, your approach looks way more manageable.

[@garyking1833]

Enjoyed your review! Followed you and plan to buy the bag too (for portrait shoots as well! Not Landscape lol). Just curious how tall are you? I'm wondering if the bag might be too large for my body lol

[@photographybydaniellee]

I’m 5’11”. Thank you for watching!!!

[@Nickporter17]

Have you seen the little $5 bulb protector for the ad200?

[@photographybydaniellee]

Hey, I actually own it. I stopped using it because it was so hard to put on. I felt like I would break something putting it on and that defeated it’s whole purpose.

[@Nickporter17]

@@photographybydaniellee ah ya that makes sense. I love the little 4.7" reflectors. I most leave those on all the time, even tho I have nice soft boxes. I can easily fit 2 ad200s with the reflectors on in my bag.

[@IndianKD]

Thank you! Very helpful. Peace. ))

[@photographybydaniellee]

You are very welcome. Thanks for the comment!

[@toddgibson3080]

Can I fit a 200-600mm lens in this core unit??

[@photographybydaniellee]

Sorry, I am not familiar with that lens.
