Discover the Shimoda Explore V2 collection at Cameras Direct – the preferred choice for Australian adventure and landscape photographers in 2026. These premium, modular camera backpacks provide outstanding protection, all-day comfort, and rugged weather resistance, perfect for demanding Aussie conditions: from multi-day treks in the Blue Mountains and Tasmanian wilderness to outback adventures and overseas travel shoots.

Why the Shimoda Explore V2 Remains Australia's Favourite Adventure Camera Backpack

Evolved from the original Explore series, the Explore V2 continues to impress in real-world Australian use. A standout 2-year review from Australian Photography highlights its long-term durability, lightweight yet compact design, and versatility for backcountry hikes and multi-day trips – equally suited to local adventures or international travel. These bags deliver:

• Customisable Core Unit system – Removable padded inserts tailored for mirrorless, DSLR, or hybrid kits; easily swap or remove for everyday/non-photo use.
• Dual access (rear + side) – Fast gear grabs without exposing contents to rain, dust, or harsh Australian elements.
• Superior comfort for extended wear – Ergonomic harness with adjustable sternum strap, removable hip belt, breathable padding, and women's-specific options available.
• Weather-resistant & tough – High-denier fabrics, sealed zippers, and included rain cover built for unpredictable Aussie weather.
• Travel-ready intelligence – Carry-on compliant sizes, lockable zippers, 16" laptop sleeve, hidden passport pocket, tripod/bottle holders, and smart organisation pockets.
• Three practical sizes – 25L (compact for day trips), 30L (versatile all-rounder), 35L (maximum capacity for pro setups, drones, or longer expeditions).

Offered in colours like Black and Army Green, the Explore V2 blends discreet style with serious performance – ideal for photographers who want protection without the bulky "camera bag" look.
