Shimoda Design Bags, are they right for you?

Shimoda Design bags have finally started to ship and I got mine a few days ago from BH Photo.

This video is my first look at the Shimoda Design Carry On Roller and the Explore 40 Backpack.

Is it the right bag system for me?

Hello Daryll, just thinking about the base of your bag and your concerns re, dirty bottom. If you were to fit velcro on the top and tucked - it upwards and fold it down on the velcro. Maybe a way out of your difficulties. Regards, Allan Davies...

A year later - how did the bottom of the big bag work for you?

i think i might buy it just for the see through pillow

Great simple, effective advice… I am looking forward to more episodes. :

Hey Darryl, when you adjusted the Shimoda straps from XL to M, do you think that the webbing link at 20:10 you fed that velcro strap through is over time going to be strong enough? To me this seems like a single point of failure for a bag that can cost $400.

Hi Daryl, Good review! I am about to get one now.

Were you able to confirm if the Peak Capture fits on this bag?

[Paulschen]

Hi Darryl,
Thanks for the video, but I'm very curious, if you add the medium and a small core unit in the bag, how much room is left at the top of the bag? Maybe you could show this on video?
Of course you have to wait until you receive it....

How comfortable is the Shimoda for long multi hour hikes with heavy loads of about 25-30lbs?

Most camera backpacks I've seen focus on gear protection/organization first and comfort as an after thought. Don't think I've seen anything that comes near the comfort of something from Osprey or Deuter in terms of backpacking/hiking.

Hi was wondering any chance of u trying to put in a equivalent of a D5 body inside

[carlosvanvegas]

Were you able given the time to verify if the Peak Design would attach to the strap, I was thinking about getting a Peak Design Capture Pro, but since you mentioned your Capture One might not fit I'm concerned now

The waist strap is a no go for me as well

[gosman]

I think that this is a new company and most likely will improve the designs from version to version.

In terms of doctor bags, have you had a look at the Tenba series rollers? They have a much neater design with no overlapping flaps.

[onyshadcollins]

Great unboxing, very engaging! Plus i like the fact that you're probably the one man honest about his height 😄 but in terms of the Shimoda's i'm still on the fence, do you reckon an Ursa Mini and a DSLR would fit?

Quit watching at "I'm reviewing a hiking backpack but don't like the waist straps". Then you probably shouldn't use a hiking backpack, the internal frame and straps are one of the main reasons to even buy this backpack.

Gave a thumbs down to an interesting video, because you did not come back and respond to your own set questions
