- In the latest episode of Field Trips, my simple plan of sunrises and sunsets gets rained out... But I tried to make the best of it.
In this episode I am using the new Urban Explore 30 now available here:

That little truck/Van is rad.
Thanks Brandon. Always nice to have a couch for a quick nap at your disposal.
I am a happy owner of an Explore v2 30l. Among other things, I chose a SHIMODA backpack because of Ian's videos. These videos show the products in REAL use. No hocus-pocus, no cinematic bullshit... To me, this kind of presentation is much more convincing than someone sitting at a table in a room, showing things that have apparently never been used. In these videos, we can hear directly from the designer why things are the way they are and we can see how much thought and ideas are put into the design. Although, as a landscape photographer I prefer the Explore/Action line, but the new Urban Explore backpacks looks just as practical and cool as those previous series and will surely bring many more satisfied users for the brand! Thanks Ian and keep up the good work!
Thank you and appreciated.
YES the Field Trips are BACK
My thoughts exactly
Too many product launches are hurting Field Trips ;)
Ian, i've been just sort of lurking looking at your videos since you started years ago. I must say that this Field Trip feels so much more organic in that I really felt like I was brought along for your photoshoot (vs just demonstrating gear). The step up in the narrative is duly noted Sir. Love it and keep it going Brother. Shimoda X50 & Carry On Roller Owner
Thank you and much appreciated.
Thanks, Ian. Good to see the Urban Explorer out in rainy weather. I also appreciate seeing that even excellent photographers have days when their plans get washed out. The more I see the new boa color out in the wild the more glad I am that I chose that color for the 25L I selected when I signed on to the Kickstarter.
I didn't show it in the video but the Narai-juku scene was constant rain, I bought an umbrella near the end because my camera was getting to wet, bag was fine I wasn't able to shoot much video do to the Pocket 3 having no lens protection from rain. What I did shoot was with a 700-200 and it's rain protective hood. Everytime I get the new Urban bag in the rain I'm pleasently surprised by it's resistance. For some reason it's been a lot!
Nice to see you watching the hockey gguy :) Picked up an urban explorer. Been loving my explorer for all these years.
Awesome new backpack, congrats Ian!!!
Field Trips😄 Happy to watch these to see your photos and how the bags help to get these shots. Brilliant.
Loved this, I would love to visit some of those places. Japan is so beautiful and I also really like your Van interior Ian, Loving the look of the Urban Explore bags too! That first town was stunning!
Thanks. Narai-juku is a special place. I had no idea before I went but the next day they had a lantern festival. That would have been magical there.
Thanks, Ian! I hope to see more Field Trips soon. It’s not about the weather, it’s about traveling with a super-awesome backpack.
So true :)
A video which neatly encapsulates the frustrations of the landscape photographer when the weather decides to play havoc with our meticulous planning. Regardless, it's another beautifully put together video and ,as always, a joy to watch. Look forward to the next one, thank you.
:) thank you
Thanks for the video Ian! Seriously loving this Field Trips video and hope to see more of it. It's pretty cool to see what you carry in your bag and your van is so sick! This whole video makes us miss Japan.
The weather might not be been agreeable, but I really liked the photos at the end.
Thanks, funny how it works some days...
Absolutely LOVED this video and everything about it. (I dream of visiting Japan)!!! And I'm obsessed with this backpack. I wish I could buy it right now, Shimoda! Can't wait til it hits the marketplace and sad I missed the Kickstarter campaign. I've waited for a long time to find the right camera bag for me and I think this is the one for daily use. Keep doing this explorer videos. So fun.
Thanks :) Appreciate the post. UE is not too far away...
Love these Field Trips, Ian. Cool van. It’s wonderful to see places on the other side of world. I backed the 20L Boa and just received it. 😊
Thanks Jackie :)
Great episode Ian, very inspiring to go out and shoot no matter what! Keep em coming! ps: nice work with the new Urban Explore line.
Excellent episode, Ian! Would love to see the Urban Explore in use in busy metropolitan areas!
I ll be there rain or shine. Always awesome
My Nomatic McKinnon backpack died 3 days ago (zipper broke), just order the Shimoda URBAN 25L yesterday... just need to find a solution to bridge until february. Pretty impressive how a simple zipper can be a massive problem for a full time traveler. Realizing that a few days are just ruined until I find an alternative. Being on the road since 2016, I admit that all my gear are in quite heavy usage, so I hope that the Shimoda solution will be the one. I have a very good feeling tho :-) Just came back from Japan 3 weeks ago, miss it like crazy and hope to be there asap for the next adventure and maybe if I could have the honor, get some time for a chat with Ian. Thx for your great content and what you guys provide to us photographers/videographers,
Very happy for you that the Kickstarter campaing started so good yesterday!!! have a fantastic week and keep up the great vibes
Thank you. One thing many people over look is that zippers are mechanical component on a bag. They need maintenance, if they are not taken care of they will seize and eventually fail in some form. Dirt and other elements will get in the track and slowly start to destroy it. Much worse is sweat and the salt we produce. Visually it's a slow process but people need to maintain zippers. Clean and lube them on a regular schedule reflective of often they use the bag and how. It's also a 3rd party item. Not sure what the others use but YKK zippers are as good as they come. 9/10 times it's a lack of maintenance that kills them. Which inevitably falls on the user. The other thing is that they are usually not replaceable or fixable. So take care of them. Hope that makes sense and helps for the future.
Picked up a UE 25 during the Kickstarter and can barely contain my excitement to get it out in the field. Hopefully it will fit my Rebel SL1 w/ 75/300, a Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera, and an EXO Blackhawk 3 pro.
A little too comfortable leaving the camera at night while recording that shot backing up in the truck lol. Amazing stuff man!
We don't have to worry about such things around here :)
Been loving this Field Trips series Ian. Been going back watching them. If I may ask what Truck do you have? I'm waiting to get the Urban Explore 30 back in stock at local camera store here in Seattle but thank you for reaching out when I was looking for one in Seoul. Keep it going!
Hi, thanks glad you enjoy them. My little camper is a Diahatsu Hijet, they are generally used as a delivery truck with the option for refrigeration. But it's been modified for sleeping.
Beautiful trees, and nice shots, also the nice shots (Fuji?) at the end
The last series was all Fuji x-pro 3. Thanks 🙏
Have you done a video on your van setup? Did you build it up or bought it like that in the video? I’m on the fence on doing a van project.
I'm thinking of backing either the 25 or the 30 and I'm wondering how exact are the dimensions of the core unit?
My d7200 and 80-400g measures at just under 11", larger than the 10.6 in internal height of the 25L core unit. Would it fit with some coaxing? I would really like to use the smallest bag I can get away with that'll hold the camera with that lens attached and 1-2 others.
Hi, thanks for this video Ian! I like the design of this shoulder strap, could it be designed exclusively for other types of bags?for action v2 and explore v2.
It originated as an optional strap for the 'other' bags. That was then brought to Urban Explore. You'll see an option for our mtn lines in the future.
question: what is the purpose of the piece of clear film on the back of your camera?
Not sure what you mean. Time stamp please.
hi, why don't you ship international? i live in singapore and just ordered the urban explore 30, and found out it doesn't ship to where i am. I had to use vpost, a forwarding service. Please consider finding a distributor in singapore thanks
You could check with B&H in New York. They ship all over the world. That being said, one reason we do not offer international shipping from the US is that the shipping prices are extremely high. It might cost $150 -$200 to ship to Singapore. It seemed unreasonable to us, so we did not set it up.
@@peterwaisnor2241 ic, any chance then of working with a distributor in singapore? im sure your products will be popular here.
@@wretchedworm Haha. If you know of one, please have them reach out to me. We would be very happy to work with someone there.
I really wanted the 20L Boa color but it's sold out. Praying someone would cancel their pledge or Shimoda would open it for more pledges😂
We're looking into it. If we can make more for the campaign we will.
eeep! i'll definitely be on the look out@@ShimodaDesigns
Eeep! Thanks for opening more pledges for the 20L Boa color. Instant pledge!@@ShimodaDesigns
Omg you're watching the hockey guy lol. Didn't know you were a hockey fan.. which team do you cheer for??
I was watching the road, listening to the Hockey Guy ... ;) I'm from Toronto...
@@ShimodaDesigns ahh Leafs fan.. I'm from Vancouver so naturally, a Canucks fan!
@@Just_Kev_well if your like everyone else in Van- friends off the ice... Enemies when it's on 🤓!
A bit out of topic on this bag. Why Yellow HD Belt isnt available online on EU websites?
Please contact the EU distributor who handles the regional web site: orders@macgroupeu.com
Sorry but i don‘t understand why a named “Urabn” camera backpack video take place at mountains but not citys/subways/streets instead?
The bag is versatility - not limited to a single use (or video). Kinda like of Action X is used by numerous Landscape photographers or runners are sometimes used for walking :)
@@ShimodaDesigns Good try. But not convincing. Just like one can use a 85mm lens for street photography but which brand would promote a new 85mm lens simply without shooting portrait footage? Anyway, you are the brand, i‘m just a disappointed potential customer. By the way, I own a E30 V2. I don’t see any improvment in practical use of side access in this Urban series. Who want lay flat a backpack on ground for fully access gears in streets of Shinjuku, Shibuya, London or NYC?
@@markkrell7845 If the bag and my vlog is not for you - that's oK. Get the product that speaks to your needs.Take care.
@@ShimodaDesignsSure. Thank you.
@@markkrell7845 not to be argumentative these "Field Trips" are exactly that. It's more organic than a review or hawking merch. Entitled to your opinion but looks like your just poking the bear for entertainment. I enjoy the vids for what they are, as should you. If you want a review or AD of the Urban series watch something else if your not happy. There are hundreds out there for your consumption.
