it 's a fold down jolder right at the front of the bag, (where the brand is, ) when let down, the height is lower than the bottom compartment.

presentally, it can hold up to, 1 body w/ attached lens + another 3 lenses and a flash unit. (or 4 lenses. depending on the sizes of the lenses. my longest lens being 70-300mm Nikon)

If you don't store your slr mounted with long lenses ( Length of 75-300 ), then can consider the Orion Trekker. The base is only deep enough for a SLR mounted with 28-105mm f4.5-5.6 or 80-200 f4.5-5.6mm lens.

The Rover Light can store a 70-200mm f2.8.
