  "account": "Camera backpack brand Shimoda has returned with an updated version of its popular Action X series, which is known for its custom-fit design. The third generation of the Action X series, the V3, introduces adjustable height, swappable straps, and enhanced ventilation for better comfort. The new backpack also features a larger side access door, allowing photographers to quickly access up to two cameras with mounted lenses.\n\nIn addition to the upgraded Action X V3, Shimoda has launched the Insider Sling, a minimalist sling bag that has been highly requested by fans. Weighing just 500 grams, the Insider Sling can still accommodate up to two mid-range zoom lenses or a camera body with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens attached. The bag is designed with airmesh for improved airflow and features an adjustable shoulder strap on both sides.\n\nThe Action X V3 comes in five sizes and four color options, with kits starting at $399 / £380. The largest Pro Kit version can hold two camera bodies and 4-6 lenses, or one camera with a large zoom lens. The bag still maintains a height of 50.8 cm to meet airline carry-on restrictions. The Insider Sling is available in three colors for $130 / £110.",
