Q: 1. Would a Canon XA-40 with a shotgun attached fit directly in this bag?

A: The XA40 is already right at the 11" mark without a shotgun attached. More than likely you will have to remove the top handle and an shotgun microphone for it to fit. Your better bet is the Dr Bag 20 which accommodates up to 16.5 inches in length. https://bhpho.to/3ddpAvP
