Shimoda DSLR Core Unit - XL40 RST

Nature and wildlife photographers tackling mid-sized kits would benefit most from the Shimoda DSLR Core Unit XL40 RST, as its optimized dimensions snugly fit into Action X40 backpacks while housing gripped DSLRs or mirrorless bodies with telephoto lenses up to 19.7 inches, such as a mounted 400mm f/2.8 for birding or unattached 600mm f/4 for safaris. Landscape shooters, hiking videographers, and travel pros with balanced loads will value the RST's rear/side/top access for rapid, hands-free swaps in dynamic environments, plus padded dividers and water-resistant build that safeguard gear during long, unpredictable outings without excess bulk.

The RST series Core Units allow creators to carry and access the maximum amount of gear on demanding terrain, while still maintaining Shimoda's signature comfort and reliability.

RST is acronym for the Core Unit’s Rear, Side and Top access points. With the RST40 (DSLR - XL40) Core Unit, you can use the Rear access to get to all your gear, the Side for quick access to your camera without putting your pack down, or the Top to access longer mounted superzoom lens without opening the rear door.

  • Internal Dimensions (cm) : 26W x 50H x 15.5D
  • Product Weight : 907g


The RST40 was specially designed to fill the entire main compartment of the Action X40 backpack, which allows the pack to fit and protect lenses as long as 50cm, such as the Sony/Canon/Nikon 600mm 4.0 (unattached to camera), as well as the Sony 200-600mm and 400-800mm, Nikon 180-600mm, Canon 200-800mm, Fuji 150-600mm, and OM 150-600mm. Fits these superzoom lenses even when attached to a camera body. While specifically sized for the X40, the RST40 will also fit in the Action X50.

NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with Shimoda Explore series backpacks. We call them Core Units simply because they are the Core of the Shimoda system. Their modular versatility lets users customize their gear carrying needs with different sized camera inserts for different days, and to get more out of their backpack.

While the RST40 carries the maximum amount of gear an X40 can handle, having the ability to swap out the Core Unit for smaller ones gives you the flexibility to use the best Core Unit size for the adventure ahead.

  • Compatibility: Designed to fit the Shimoda Action X40 Backpack and to maximize equipment storage from top to bottom in the pack. Allows the X40 to fit lenses as long as 50cm, such as the Sony/Canon/Nikon 600mm 4.0 (unattached to camera), as well as the Sony 200-600mm and 400-800mm, Nikon 180-600mm, Canon 200-800mm, Fuji 150-600mm, and OM 150-600mm. Fits these superzoom lenses even when attached to a camera body. NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with Shimoda Explore series backpacks.
  • RST - Rear/Side/Top Access: Integrates seamlessly with the side access of Shimoda's Action X40 backpack. Also allows top camera/lens access through the zipper at the base of the expandable roll top. And allows standard rear access to entire camera system.
  • Gripped Mirrorless/DSLR Camera Fit: Shimoda DSLR-depth Core Units are ideal for gripped mirrorless and DSLR cameras up to 15.5 cm (6.1 in) tall. The depth allows for more efficient packing since lenses such as a 16-35mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8, 24-105 4.0 and others can stand vertically.
  • Lightweight Water-Resistant & Multi-purpose Skin – The included Skin’s primary function is a storage case for the padded Core Units, ideal for when your gear is at home and not in use. It keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust free. Its secondary function is to use as a packing cell. A user can fill it with clothing or other common items and pack it in their backpack or carry-on roller.
  • EVA Protective Shell and Dividers – Walls and dividers are constructed with EVA which ensures much greater protection than cheaper PE foams used in most camera bags. With EVA we have greater control over the density and quality of materials used to protect your gear. It also means our walls can be thinner and use less internal volume while still providing superior protection.

This Shimoda DSLR Core Unit - XL40 RST comes with a full Shimoda Australia warranty.
