The Action X40 is designed for aggressive photographers with serious gear needs. It's an efficient and fast access backcountry camera bag, built for action in foul weather, ever-changing environments and challenging terrain. The X40 is designed to carry gripped bodies and will comfortably fit most mirrorless and DSLR cameras (up to 6.7 in or 17cm tall) via our DSLR Core Unit series. Its roll-top access allows users to expand or compress the volume to the demands of the day. It features multiple attachment straps, including TPU compression straps for greater durability when attaching skis, and its removable helmet holder lets users secure mountaineering, ski or bike helmets to the outside of their pack. Action X's interchangeable and adjustable shoulder straps feature two zippered pockets to carry the latest iPhone Pro Max phones, a water bottle, or personal accessories. The Action X25, X30, X40 and X50 feature side camera access and two removable tripod or water bottle pouches that can be moved to the belt location for instant access to key accessories like snacks and lenses, or removed completely to save weight. Two padded sleeves protect laptops and tablets up to 16 inches. Finally, the removable belt, luggage-handle pass-through and hidden AirTag sleeve make the Action X40 a stealthy and stylish partner in urban and travel environments. If you need to carry a gripped camera body and still want a relatively small pack, this is the one for you.

Overall I love the bag, but it's not perfect. I purchased this bag predominately to attempt to one bag work trips were I need to take my 16MBP and wanted to drag along my camera and personal laptop so I could explore and photo the places I am sent.It's a heavy bag and it looks relatively big, and when loaded down with lots of tech it's REALLY heavy. Thankfully the strap system distributes the weight well, especially with the aluminum frame.I'm indifferent about the organization. I find most insert based packs to be fairly annoying because they seem to take up a lot of room but not really maximize its usage. This bag is no exception but I knew that going in and can't fault the bag for being exactly what I expected. Also OMG the pockets. there's more of them than ... MoreOverall I love the bag, but it's not perfect.

Also OMG the pockets. there's more of them than expected and while this is generally good....I need to work on a system to keep them organized as its easy to lose things in the bag and have to hunt everywhere.My biggest complaint with this bag is the zippers. Well the pull more specifically. They seem to get hung where the stick in a certain position that makes using them fairly annoying. I really wish they used the zipper pull string/system from the Tenba Axis V2 lineup here because they are soo much better. The zipper it self is great.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to taking this along with me for many adventures to come.
