Shimoda Core Unit Mirrorless RST XL30, 520-453

Shimoda Core Unit Mirrorless RST XL30, 520-453

RST stands for the access points at the rear, side, and top of the Core Unit. With the RST30 (Mirrorless - XL30) Core Unit, you can use the rear to access all your gear, the side for quick access to your camera without putting your backpack down, or the top to reach longer superzoom lenses without opening the back panel.

The RST30 is specifically designed to fill the entire main compartment of the Action X30 backpack, allowing the backpack to accommodate and protect lenses up to 46 cm in length, such as the Sony 200-600mm, Nikon 180-600mm, Canon 200-800mm, Fuji 150-600mm, and OM 150-600mm. These superzoom lenses even fit when mounted on a camera body. PLEASE NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with the Shimoda Explore series backpacks.

Shimoda calls them Core Units because they form the heart of the Shimoda system. Thanks to their modular versatility, users can customise their setup with camera inserts of various sizes for different days, getting more out of their backpack. While the RST30 can carry the maximum amount of gear an X30 can handle, the ability to swap the Core Unit for smaller versions offers the flexibility to choose the most suitable Core Unit size for the adventure ahead.

Features of the Shimoda Core Unit Mirrorless RST XL30, 520-453

  • Designed to fit perfectly in the Shimoda Action X30 backpack and maximise equipment storage space from top to bottom in the rucksack. This allows lenses up to 46 cm long to fit in the X30, such as the Sony 200-600mm, Nikon 180-600mm, Canon 200-800mm, Fuji 150-600mm and OM 150-600mm. These super-zoom lenses fit even when mounted on a camera body. NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with the Shimoda Explore series backpacks
  • Integrates seamlessly with side access on the Shimoda Action X30 backpack. Also provides access to the camera/lens via the zip at the bottom of the expandable roll-top. And offers standard access to the entire camera system via the back
  • The Core Units with mirrorless depth are ideal for mirrorless and DSLR cameras without grip up to 12 cm tall. The reduced depth results in a discreet backpack that meets the strictest international carry-on baggage requirements and fits in the shallow overhead luggage compartment on small regional aircraft
  • The included cover primarily serves as a storage bag for the padded Core Units, ideal for when your equipment is at home and not in use. The cover keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust-free. The secondary function is to use it as a packing bag. You can fill the cover with clothing or other frequently used items and take it with you in your backpack or roller case
  • The walls and dividers are made of EVA, which provides much better protection than the cheaper PE foam used in most camera bags. With EVA, Shimoda has more control over the density and quality of the materials used to protect your equipment. This also means the walls can be thinner and take up less internal space, whilst still offering superior protection
