Action X70 HD - Army Green
The X70 HD is our biggest and burliest pack, created to accommodate our DV Core Units (Large v2, Extra Large v2 and new XXL). The Action X70 HD accommodates larger Cine, Digital Video and super telephoto camera kits. It is the ideal choice for cinematographers, long lens wildlife shooters and campers.
It's built for big loads and its new Heavy Duty (HD) build was developed to withstand the rigors of active action sport videographers and movements they endure accessing remote locations. The HD model features reinforced critical stress points, thick nylon webbing, and aluminium hardware for greater durability and stability. Its belt has been redesigned to offer greater stiffness, support and pack stability. Two belt pockets and new adjustable sizing round out the HD belt features.
The X70 HD has adjustable torso height shoulder straps featuring two zippered pockets to carry the latest iPhone Pro Max phones, a water bottle or personal accessories. They are constructed with high density EVA to ensure a comfortable carry over long days. A padded sleeve protects laptops and tablets up to 16 inches, two large tripod pockets can also handle 2-liter water bottles, and its expandable volume lets you pack according to the day ahead. A removable belt, luggage-handle pass-through and hidden AirTag sleeve make the Action X70 HD a perfect adventure travel partner for big pursuits.

Anti-theft Rear Camera Access - Allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear, and cannot be opened during travel except by the user.
Adjustable Torso Height - The X70 HD has 4 height options with approximately 10 cm (4 in) of vertical adjustment. This means the same backpack can fit short or tall — male or female — torso heights, ensuring a custom fit for everyone.
Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System - The X70 HD fits our DV (Digital Video) Core Units which are available in Large or Extra Large and offer users a larger, Cine camera set-up that’s ready to go right out of the bag. Wildlife or sports shooters will appreciate its ability to pack and protect a super-telephoto lens. Core Units are sold separately from the Backpack so that users can choose the size that best fits their needs.
Expandable Roll-Top - The roll top can expand with a volume range of 7-liters so the bag can be adjusted to your gear needs while maintaining a tight and compact fit.
Sport-Friendly Design - With action sport-specific features like a removable helmet holder, ski fastening straps, hydration routing and extra durable materials to help protect the pack from abrasion, Action X packs are designed to perform seamlessly for photographers and filmmakers who like to be embedded in the action.
16-inch Laptop Sleeve - Rear pocket fits a laptop up to 16 inches, such as the MacBook Pro 16.
Aluminium Components - The X70 HD features aluminium ladder lock adjusters to ensure greater durability and stiffness.
Luggage-Handle Pass-Through - The X70 HD features a luggage-handle pass-through so creators travelling with a roller can easily place the pack on top and roll their gear instead of carrying it. It's ideal in airports but also for videographers commuting locally with a lot of additional video gear in a hard case.
Hidden Tracking Device Sleeve - A new hidden sleeve holds a personal tracking device so you always know where your pack is. In the unfortunate scenario your pack goes missing, a tracker can assist in discovering its location and recovering your gear. The sleeve accommodates AirTag and Tile Pro devices.
Rain Cover and Storage Sleeve - All Action X v2/HD packs now come with a rain cover and dedicated storage sleeve integrated into the base of the backpack.
Base Handle - All new Action X v2/HD packs now feature a base handle. Along with the side and top handles - the base handle makes it incredibly easy and convenient to move your backpack around.
Extra Supportive Shoulder Straps - Shimoda rethought shoulder strap design and created a weight distributing shape and fit to help support the load of a camera bag. Instead of the weight of the bags pulling backwards like most common camera bag harnesses – our straps distribute weight across the chest area. Paired with our bear-hug like fit, shifting weight to the hips and front torso translates into more physical energy and mental focus to use on your photo adventure. The straps also feature a mobile phone pocket that can accommodate the iPhone Pro Max size and a second expandable pocket for larger accessories or a water bottle.
Removable Adjustable HD Hip Belt - The new HD Belt has been redesigned to provide greater support, stiffness and stability. Its EVA moulded belt design features a cut-out shape that comfortably secures around the top of the hip bone. The belt includes 2 zipper closure storage pockets and is adjustable to increase or decrease the fit with a range of approximately 10cm. The belt is also removable for days with lighter loads, or for travel and events when you want a little less bag to pack around. Simply unfasten the belt from the rear access panel and slide it out via its included belt adjuster.
Removable Helmet Holder - A simple accessory that lets you carry most styles of adventure helmets on the back of your pack. Especially ideal for mountain bikers and mountaineers who don’t always need to wear a helmet in hot situations. Made from a durable jersey, the main body of the holder stretches to allow it to wrap around the helmet and hold it in place. The inside of the holder includes sticky silicone dots that provide extra grip so the helmet stays in place.
Lightweight Water-Resistant Materials - The outer shell of each pack is unique to Shimoda. It utilizes a Carbonate PU formula of mixed, proprietary resins to create an extremely durable coating. The resin is applied in layers to provide complete coverage and increased durability. Our coating allows the use of lighter weight nylon without compromising strength, toughness or water repellency.
Multi Configurable Front Panel - The front panel webbing attachment system allows you to carry various photography and mountain tools on the exterior of the pack. Users can secure numerous tripods, skis, ice axes or a snowboard. Each strap features a glove-friendly YKK® side-release buckle.
EVA Compression Moulding (Shoulder Straps, Belt and Rear Panel) - Shimoda packs use EVA compression moulding techniques to provide superior comfort, load stability and protection in critical body-contact areas of the bag. EVA also allows refined quality control and construction.
Versatile Front Panel Pocket - The large front panel pocket is ideal for numerous oversized items like a jacket, sleeping bag or tent, laptop in a padded case, or avalanche safety equipment.
Hydration Bladder Sleeve and Routing - The front panel also features a sub-pocket and hanger loop designed to fit a hydration bladder up to 3L. It has dedicated routing to run the hose through the exterior rear panel and onto the shoulder straps.
Free Standing Padded Base - Our base features a lightly padded panel to add more protection when placing the pack down. The shape was designed so the pack will be able to stand without any assistance. The base panel also features two ventilation holes to limit any potential condensation build-up inside the base area and an integrated rain cover stash sleeve.
Water-Resistant Splashguard YKK® Zippers - We use YKK SplashGuard (RCPU) zippers in critically exposed areas of the backpack. RCPU zippers help prevent rain, snow and sand from entering your bag.
