Shimoda action x50 v2 - will all my gear fit?

I’ve been watched so many bag reviews trying to figure out if the x50 would be the perfect size for me or if it would be too big.
In my quest for answers I couldn’t really any that showed the bag being filled full of gear. So I decided to make one. I took the plunge, bought the bag as a start kit and gave it ago.
Turns out the x50 was perfect for me, I did nearly buy the x40 as well, but I hate returning items. I hope this video helps others who are unsure on what bag to buy.
Really good bag review video

Great review, cause you show what and how it’s fits. It’s a „ now i can go on a hike“ video!
Keep it up buddy!✌🏻

Thank you, glad you enjoy it and found it useful!

Hi John, I have this bag and I wouldn't use anything else now, well thought out bag and more importantly, comfortable to hike with while carrying heavy camera equipment, your video explains it's ability to carry a hell of a lot of kit nicely 👍

Hi Steve, I love the bag as well. I’m eyeing up the 25L option as well for shorter trips around the city. It’s a very comfy bag and well designed. Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the comment.

hey John.... good video but just a question... I just ordered that too, but where can I get that "softbox" that you put above the ICU medium? thanks

[@johnwphotography]

Hi Swashy, thank you and I’m glad you liked the video. You will love the bag!!
This is the addition insert I got from Amazon.

Hi John, have you ever had issues with any airline due to the size of the bag? Cheers!

[@johnwphotography]

Hi Dano, I’ve only flown with it once so far and no issues. But I must say the bag didn’t have much stuff in (the top section was fairly empty) so it was a lot smaller and it wasn’t. Budget airline. Great for protecting the camera gear.
I’ve seen lots of other people travel with these bags so you should be safe to fly

@@johnwphotography Great!! Much appreciated for your prompt response, this was my main concern but all clarified thanks to you!
