Anyone packed a Nikon Z9 with RRS L-bracket into this bag? Any particular core insert? Thanks

Asked by: toshio
The pocket on the Shimoda Designs Explore v2 30 Backpack Photo Starter Kit (Black, 30L), depending on the size of the gimbal, will fit. It would need to be a small gimbal. For the best fit, one should put it into the interior of the bag.
