Product Features in Detail

Cine/DV Camera Fit
Sized to accommodate taller cine cameras from RED, Canon and Sony. The extra depth also makes it ideal for packing ready-to-shoot DSLR or Mirrorless video setups, and it can even hold a DJI MAVIC drone standing vertically. While its roots stem from adventure-video needs, it is also a great fit for cameras with large super-telephoto lenses like Canon/Nikon/Sony 600mm 4.0 mounted to a gripped body.

Built for the Action X70/X70HD
Our XXL DV Core Unit is specifically built for our X70/X70HD Backpack (it is not compatible with DV Roller). It offers a very generous amount of volume for creators who need to pack and protect a large amount of gear. The XXL DV Core Unit will fully max-out the interior storage of the X70/X70HD backpack for camera gear top-to-bottom, including eliminating the separate top access storage section, so it is a good choice when maximum gear storage is paramount. To max-out the rear access camera compartment of the X70/X70HD backpack while maintaining the separate top access storage in the roll top, check out the Extra Large DV Core Unit.

EVA Protective Shell and Dividers
Walls and dividers are constructed with EVA which ensures much greater protection than cheaper PE foams used in most camera bags. With EVA we have greater control over the density and quality of materials used to protect your gear. It also means our walls can be thinner and use less internal volume while still providing superior protection.

Top Access Door
The XXL DV Core Unit has a unique zippered top access door that allows a camera with an attached 600mm 4.0 to be pulled out through the top of the X70/X70HD if desired.

Lightweight Water-Resistant & Multi-purpose Skin
The included Skin’s primary function is a storage and dust cover for the padded Core Units, ideal for when your gear is at home and not in use. It keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust free. Its secondary function is to use as a packing cell. A user can fill it with clothing or other common items and pack it in their backpack or roller.

Supportive Frame
The DV series Core Units have an added frame around the rim of the opening. This ensures the insert keeps its shape and does not collapse when carried inside the backpack. The frame also adds stiffness and support to both the pack and insert, helping distribute the weight of heavy loads.
