Shimoda Designs Top Loader Overview

This black Shimoda Designs Top Loader is a versatile, multiuse holster case that can accommodate a medium-sized DSLR or mirrorless camera with an attached 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Alternatively, the Top Loader can expand to accommodate a medium-sized DSLR or mirrorless camera with an attached 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, and a removable divider allows this holster case to be configured for a small drone kit.

The Top Loader includes a variety of built-in carrying options, including a top handle, a shoulder strap, and a belt loop. Using two pairs of separately available Shimoda Designs Accessory Webbing Straps, the Top Loader features the ability to be mounted onto the backpack straps of a separately available Shimoda Designs Action X30, X50, or X70 backpack for use as a chest harness. The Top Loader can also be looped onto the detachable waist belt of an Action X30, X50, or X70 backpack. When used only with the detachable waist belt, the Top Loader functions as a lightweight day bag.

A zippered side-access panel enables the Top Loader to serve as a fully compatible core unit inside an Action X30 or X50 backpack. As a core unit, the Top Loader enhances the ability to organize a compatible backpack's contents. When inside an Action X30 or X50 backpack and aligned with the backpack's own zippered side opening, seamless accessibility to the equipment inside the Top Loader is provided when the backpack is rotated from one's back to front with the backpack's right side facing upward.

Featuring a durable, nylon construction, the Top Loader is built to be weather resistant.

Can I put the W 16 x H 13 x D 21cm size equipment in this bag?
Asked by: seunghee
Interior dimensions are 12 x 20 x 13 cm, so based on your item's dimensions it seems it would have trouble fitting in.

Will this hold a DSLR with an L-bracket attached?
Asked by: julie
I purchased this bag because the answer was that a D850 body would fit (with a bracket). My D850 without a bracket did not fit. Well, it barely fit, like super tight and snug. I was not able to easily pull it out at all. I had to return it right away. This bag is not large enough for a Nikon D850 body.

The Shimoda website says the extended inside depth is 9.5 inches. Still not deep enough for my R5 w/ 100-500mm?
Asked by: Richard
Shimoda Designs Top Loader has Expands to accommodate longer lenses. The bag's total depth when fully extended is 12''. Your camera and 100-500mm lens attach to the body is 11'' long. The 3rd image on our website shows the bag fully extended.

What's the belt slip height? My backpack has hip belts that are 4.25" tall -- would they fit?

The belt loop/slip is 118mm / 4.6" in width. It should accommodate your belt without much issue. :)
