Gear Configuration Examples

*Most cameras with battery grips will not fit, however, it is possible to fit a such a camera if laid flat without the lens attached

Are the zippers waterproof?+

Typically, the rubber seals on waterproof zippers wear out quickly and will no longer function properly. Additionally, that type of zipper is more difficult to open due to higher friction, therefore, we decided to go with buttery smooth YKK non-waterproof zippers and included a rain jacket for wet weather.

What size laptop does it hold?+

The Top Shelf has a dedicated pouch that will accommodate most laptops up to 15” in length.

Does it hold a tripod?+

Yes. There are two hidden tripod straps and a pouch for the feet of the tripod. See the main page for further details.

What’s in the box?+

Top Shelf includes 11 dividers and a rain jacket.

No buyers remorse
The ease of use with this bag is why I got it. It holds all my lenses (6) , my flash, my zf , and lens hoods
You may need a clear bag to build your cards, card readers, and wires so you don't have to dig into the front pockets looking for them. The ability to sling the bag around, open, change lenses, close (and stays closed) without lenses moving around in the bag, and throw back is paramount. That's why you get this bag. You didn't need to think about it because it just makes sense.

Not for nature photographers
As a nature/wildlife photographer, I really like the concept of the Top Shelf as I am frequently switching between my telephote zoom lens for wildlife and wider angle lens for landscapes. I am shotting Canon Full Frame DLSR with Canon L lenses which are quite large. Unfortunately, if I configure the Top Shelf so the the body and telephote fit, there i no room for other lenses. Since I can only pack one lens into the bag, it defeats the purpose of being able to rapidly change lenses. The bag seems well built but it just does not work for my shooting style.

Wonderful gift!
Our son has taken on sports photography and this was a wonderful holiday gift for him! The bag is super sturdy and convenient to switch lenses. We think it will grow with him as he grows his business!

Super quality but tight for telephoto lens
Very well made. Loved how sturdy everything is. However, I did struggle to fit my Canon 10-500 mm lens with the tripod mount on it, but I did manage to get it in there. The front pockets would be more useful for the extra small gear i.e. filters, etc. if they weren’t so flat, or if there was a separate compartment designed for it.

Best camera bag on the market
I have had my Top Shelf bag now for 2 years maybe a little longer and man i wouldnt trade it for any other bag. I have had lots of people check it out while I have it open on my hip changing lenses orbatteries. Would recommend, and I do, to anyone looking for a great bag. I have my Canon R6 MKii with a Sigma 150-600mm out all the time ready to shoot. In the bag I have my back up Canon 6D MKii, 1.4x extender, SL3, G7x MKii, GoPro Hero 12, Lightning Trigger, Wireless remote, and multipal batteries and chargers for all the listed equipment. It is a very sturdy bag and I won't use anything else. I am probably going to by the new backpack they are talking about. 100% satisfied.
