It offers seamless side access with select Shimoda backpacks, modular stacking for customizable capacity, and superior EVA foam protection that balances durability with lightweight design. Its included water-resistant skin doubles as a packing cell, making it a versatile essential for professional photographers who demand efficient, secure, and stylish gear transport. ## Description Mirrorless/DSLR Body Fit – The Mirrorless depth is ideal for mirrorless and non-gripped DSLR cameras up to 12 cm (4.7 in) tall, and the shorter depth allows for more efficient packing scenarios and leads to a lower profile with your backpack. The Mirrorless size fits cameras like the Fuji X-T4 and Sony a7 series but it can also accommodate the similar dimensions of the Canon 5D. Quick Side Camera Access – Integrates seamlessly with the side access of the Action X30 and Explore V2 30 backpacks, and it maxes out the interior equipment carrying volume of both packs. It will also fit in every available Shimoda backpack and roller with the exception of the Explore V2 25. Modular Stacking – The Large Mirrorless Core Unit can be placed above or below an additional Core Unit to modularly increase the equipment carrying volume of a large pack. Lightweight Water-Resistant & Multi-purpose Skin – The included Skin’s primary function is a storage case for the padded Core Units, ideal for when your gear is at home and not in use. It keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust free. Its secondary function is to use as a packing cell. A user can fill it with clothing or other common items and pack it in their backpack or carry-on roller. EVA Protective Shell and Dividers – Walls and dividers are constructed with EVA which ensures much greater protection than cheaper PE foams used in most camera bags. With EVA we have greater control over the density and quality of materials used to protect your gear. It also means our walls can be thinner and use less internal volume while still providing superior protection. Show Less Overview The Large Mirrorless Core Unit provides shockproof protection for Mirrorless, SLR and DSLR cameras and lenses, and it ensures a user never carries more padding and weight than necessary. It integrates seamlessly with the side access of the Action X30 and Explore V2 30 backpacks, and it maxes out the interior equipment carrying volume of both packs. It will also fit in every available Shimoda backpack and roller with the exception of the Explore V2 25. It includes all the popular features of our Core Unit system, including EVA laminated dividers and sidewalls, a lightweight and versatile removable skin, and an aluminum frame to add extra rigidity and support. The Mirrorless depth is ideal for mirrorless and non-gripped DSLR cameras up to 12 cm (4.7 in) tall along with lenses longer than a 70-200mm 2.8. Specifications Inside Dimensions (in): 10.6W x 14.6H x 4.7D in. Inside Dimensions (cm): 27W x 37H x 12D cm Outside Dimensions (in): 11.4W x 15.4H x 5.1D in. Outside Dimensions (cm): 29W x 39H x 13D cm Weight: 1.7lb / 0.77kg Warranty: 5 Years Review: Fits easily in the shimoda 35L size backpack. The 200-600 lens fits inside however the 400-800 is just slightly too long. Review: It fits the Explorer 30L exactly. You have to push it in completely. It fits perfectly without any extra room to spare. After that I removed the top pocket so my bag only has the core insert and nothing else. I found out that it can be removed from Youtube. If you do not remove the top pocket, it will rest on the core insert and flop around. I am so glad that I bought the L version. I can put in my Canon R6, Sigma 105 f1.4 (it is a monster), batteries and the 3 more RF prime lens. It is amazing! I also put in the waterproof cover for the insert. That required some effort. I left one side uncovered so that I can open the insert to get my equipment. I want the cover to cover the base of my insert. It is well padded and I rearranged the padding according to my lens. The weight was very well distributed and it was comfortable to carry. I made it a point to put all my heavy lens right at the top of the insert as I do not want the weight to hit my back when I walk. The weight was bearing on my shoulders but with the broad carry straps it was so much more manageable. Indeed it was one of the best camera bag that I have carried but it is far too expensive. Even for the core insert, it cost so much. Nevertheless it was very well made and I believe it will last many years thereby helping me to recoup my investment. ## Features - MIRRORLESS/DSLR BODY FIT – The Mirrorless depth is ideal for mirrorless and non-gripped DSLR cameras up to 12 cm (4.7 in) tall, and the shorter depth allows for more efficient packing scenarios and leads to a lower profile with your backpack.
