Shimoda's Top Loader collection complements our full range of adventure-friendly camera backpacks. Top Loaders can function as protective camera inserts inside your Shimoda backpack, or they can 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.

All Top Loaders have an expandable base so you can carry up-to a 70-200mm/100-400mm sized professional lens. The Small size is ideal for body and lens, and each size up from the Small adds one more vertical section to fit an additional lens or lenses. These bags are also a great fit for Mavic sized drones and smaller. Top Loader’s are made from durable weather resistant materials so all your gear is protected when the weather goes foul.

Using Top Loaders is an efficient way to pack a camera kit. They allow you to carry less weight and rigidity than you would with Shimoda's typical Core Units, with the added benefit of multiple modes of carry separate from the backpack. If you have an adventure where you just need a modest amount of camera gear and have more adventure/survival-related kit to pack, a Top Loader is a great way to save space and weight while still protecting your gear.

Product information

All our shipments are fully insured. For shipments valued over $150, a direct signature will be required upon delivery.

We utilize various shipping carriers, with FedEx Express being our primary choice for 2-Day and Overnight shipping within the US, as well as International deliveries.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. This fee is not for profit, but to cover the costs associated with selling an item. Each return is evaluated individually, and we strive to minimize this fee. In many instances, we waive it entirely if the refund credit can be applied towards another item in the store.

Please note, all returned items must be in the condition in which they were shipped. If the items are returned in a different condition, we will not be able to accept them.

We highly recommend visiting us in person to experience our fine photographic tools before deciding which tool best fits your needs. Please note that our inventory is distributed among our three stores, and what you see online may be at any of these locations. Below are a few points that we’d like to make in order to meet your needs for in store pick up.

The location of each item is indicated online. For convenience, you can choose to pick up your item at any of our stores. Once purchased, the item should be ready for pick up within 4 hours at the designated store, although this might vary depending on the store's busyness and time of day. We request that you wait for a notification from us confirming that your order is ready for pick up, to ensure the best service.

If your chosen item is not available at your preferred store, we can transfer it there after purchase. If you want to pick up an item at a different store, select that store for pick up during checkout, or choose a regular shipping method and let us know your preferred pick up store via support@camerawest.com or by responding to your order confirmation email.

For any questions about in-store pick up, please email support@camerawest.com. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

We offer a concierge trade-in program for the gear you'd like to upgrade, cross-grade, or simply pass on to a new owner. This enables you to acquire the tools that fit your specific needs. The easiest way to trade is to bring your gear into one of our stores and meet with us in person. However, we also accommodate those who can't visit our stores. Our online process is both personal and simple.

To begin, fill out the form on our Trade // Sell page with the details of the fine photographic equipment or watches you'd like to trade in. One of our team members will then contact you to confirm any details we might need for an accurate estimate. We will provide an estimate that doesn’t only look at the value of your trade in but the whole picture of where you want to go. If the estimate is satisfactory to you, we can provide a shipping label for you to ship your gear to one of our stores for a final inspection and store credit. Finally, we apply that credit towards your new gear!

  • 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.
