Nest Explorer 300 L Camera Backpack

Shimoda is by far my favorite camera backpack maker, I use there Explorer V2 for all travel work and a lot of production work. The Urban Explore is perfect for my day to day work, alongside a personal travel pack for street photography. Great construction, super comfortable even with weight, simply the best!

The Shimoda Explorer V2 is a well thought out and well built backpack. I have the Shimoda Urban Explorer and the Shimoda Explorer V2. Both are great back packs you can’t go wrong with either one.

Nice design and color that matches with my Shimoda Explorer 30L backpack. Enough paddings for maximum protection. I love it!

I bought this for traveling overseas with my Canon C-300 mkii, LCD unit, three lenses, along with the charger and AC power unit. carried it on multiple planes in several countries. No problems whatsoever. The pack is extremely well built, to the point that you could actually check it without worry of damage to the contents. I do have one disappointment: because the C-300 is so tall, you have to remove the LCD unit from the camera so, it’s not really a shoot-ready backpack. I also wasn’t able to use the camera with my Zacuto gear attached as that takes up a lot of space as well. Overall, this is the best carry-on approved backpack that I found to protect cinema cameras and their accessories.

The backpack is small enough to fit under an airplane seat. I was able to fit OM-1 with TC1.4 + 300/f attached, a second camera (E-M1.3), PL200/2.8 (+TC1.4), 14 UL laptop, 10.5 iPad, with all the necessary battery chargers, power adapters, connectors/cables and other small accessories in the pack. It makes a great companion, as a personal item, for a carry-on only trip.

The Lowepro Photo Active 300 AW Backpack (Blue/Black) is a stylish, attractive, and durable backpack. All compartments are well-thought-out, and the backpack is well-made. One drawback is that the insert for camera gear simply fits into the backpack, creating gaps between the backpack walls and the insert. If something small is placed in the top compartment, it can fall through the gap and down to the bottom. However, I am confident that this is a minor issue for such a stylish backpack.

Have only had the filter nest for about 3 weeks, and have only used once, but it seems very solid and made with the same materials than my previous mini filter nest. I do like internal unit that can be removed when you are bringing your filters in a backpack when you need to save space. Also, I like the strap in the casing that let you attach your filter case to your tripod to have them at hand to avoid reaching into your backpack every time. All in all, a well thought product.

This filter case will hold 8 filters up to 82mm. The nest case is actually located inside of a zippered case that can be used to carry the inner case on a belt or backpack strap. I am using the intercase inside of my backpack and am looking for other use for the neat little outside case.

Nice camera , similar to the nest but at a lower price. I would definitely be buying more.

This is the best camera backpack, let alone just backpack ever
