Shimoda Core Unit DSLR RST XL40, 520-454

RST stands for the Rear, Side, and Top access points of the Core Unit. With the RST40 (DSLR - XL40) Core Unit, you can access all your gear from the rear, quickly reach your camera from the side without putting your backpack down, or operate longer superzoom lenses from the top without having to open the rear panel.

The RST40 has been specifically designed to fill the full main compartment of the Action X40 backpack. This means it can accommodate lenses up to 50 cm in length, such as the Sony/Canon/Nikon 600mm f/4.0 (detached from the camera body), the Sony 200-600mm and 400-800mm, the Nikon 180-600mm, the Canon 200-800mm, the Fuji 150-600mm, and the Nikon OM 150-600mm. These superzoom lenses even fit when mounted on a camera body. Although the RST40 is specifically designed for the X40, it also fits in the Action X50. PLEASE NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with Shimoda Explore backpacks.

Shimoda calls them Core Units because they form the heart of the Shimoda system. Thanks to their modular versatility, users can customise their setup with camera inserts of various sizes for different days, getting more out of their backpack. While the RST40 can carry the maximum amount of gear an X40 can handle, the ability to swap the Core Unit for smaller versions offers the flexibility to use the best Core Unit size for the adventure ahead.

Features of the Shimoda Core Unit DSLR RST XL40, 520-454

  • Designed to fit perfectly in the Shimoda Action X40 backpack and maximise equipment storage space from top to bottom in the rucksack. This allows lenses up to 50 cm long to fit in the X40, such as the Sony/Canon/Nikon 600mm f/4.0 (detached from the camera), as well as the Sony 200-600mm and 400-800mm, Nikon 180-600mm, Canon 200-800mm, Fuji 150-600mm and OM 150-600mm. These super-zoom lenses will also fit when mounted on a camera body. NOTE: RST Core Units are not compatible with the Shimoda Explore series backpacks
  • Integrates seamlessly with side access on the Shimoda Action X40 backpack. Also provides access to the camera/lens via the zip at the bottom of the expandable roll-top. And offers standard access to the entire camera system via the rear
  • The Shimoda Core Units with DSLR depth are ideal for mirrorless and DSLR cameras with grip up to 15.5 cm tall. The depth allows for more efficient packing, as lenses such as a 16-35mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 24-105mm f/4.0 and other lenses can stand upright
  • The included cover serves primarily as a storage cover for the padded Core Units, ideal for when your equipment is at home and not in use. The cover keeps the Core Unit sealed and dust-free. The cover can also be used as a packing bag. You can fill the cover with clothing or other items and take it with you in your backpack or roller case
  • The walls and dividers are made of EVA, which provides much better protection than the cheaper PE foam used in most camera bags. With EVA, Shimoda has more control over the density and quality of the materials used to protect your equipment. This also means the walls can be thinner and take up less internal space, whilst still providing superior protection

  • Internal dimensions (W x H x D): 26 x 50 x 15.5 cm
