Shimoda Top Loader - Medium - Black (520-402)

Shimoda’s Top Loader is the most versatile camera bag in the Shimoda lineup. It works as a shoulder or sling bag, hip pack (with backpack belt), or mounts to the harness of Shimoda packs using optional Accessory Straps. It also fits inside Shimoda backpacks as a protective insert. Each Top Loader has an expandable base to fit a camera with up to a 70-200mm or 100-400mm lens. The Small size fits a camera with lens; Medium and Large add space for extra lenses. It’s also perfect for compact drones like DJI Mavic. Made from durable, weather-resistant nylon with YKK zippers, it protects gear in rough conditions. Top Loaders offer a lighter, more flexible option than Core Units—ideal for trips where you need minimal gear and maximum mobility. Whether hiking, traveling, or shooting on the move, it saves space, reduces weight, and keeps gear ready.

Camera and Drone Friendly: Shimoda Top Loaders are sized to fit non-gripped camera bodies with lenses up to 70-200/100-400mm, plus drones as large as the DJI Mavic. All sizes come with vertical divider(s) allowing you dial-in a perfect fit for your gear.

Versatile, Modular Protection: Top Loaders can function as protective camera inserts inside your Shimoda backpack, and they can also be carried independently as a shoulder/sling bag. They can be paired with the belt from the backpack to wear as a hip pack, or they can be mounted to the harness of your pack (with optional Accessory Straps). They are the most adaptable bags in the Shimoda range.

Expandable for Telephoto Lenses: The base unzips and expands to fit up to 70-200mm 2.8 and 100-400mm sized lenses.

Front Panel Pocket: A zipper-accessed front panel pocket lets you stash smaller items like lens cloths, lens caps and other low profile accessories.

Lightweight Water-Repellant Materials: Top Loaders share the same lightweight, water-resistant materials as our backpack lines. The black colorway is made with the same material we use for Action X & Explore packs, while Boa comes in our Urban Explore textile. This ensures the same reliable and consistent quality and performance for both urban and mountain scenarios. They also make a handsome match when traveling.
