Description

If you don’t pack the lid pocket too full, you can compress the bag’s height and usually get within the required dimensional limits. The Tilopa also comes with many smaller mesh pockets inside of other compartments and openings on the bag.

The backpack is constructed with durable, water-resistant materials and features, double Ripstop Nylon with Polyurethane coating, YKK® heavy-gauge zippers, Duraflex® buckles, and Eva-padded shoulder straps and hip belts. Now into its 7th generation, this latest update is the biggest one yet, featuring a brand new proprietary, rugged DuraDiamond material and a whole host of tweaks and new features. The shoulder straps can be adjusted to change how high the bag sits on your back and how close to your back it is (The closer it is, the more this helps keep your centre of gravity over your feet and make it easier to keep balance when hiking on rough terrain). Over the years, I’ve come to learn that you can tell a lot about a bag simply by its hip straps—“Hips don’t lie,” as Shakira says. With the camera, it will hold 4-5 additional lenses and is tall enough to accommodate a 70-200mm f/2.That's due in large part to the shoulder straps, back panel and hip belt, all of which are fitted with EVA padding. At review time, only the Ajna, Tilopa and Shinn backpacks have been updated to DuraDiamond models with all the new features. All bags in f-stops' Mount It does an excellent job of carrying a good amount of camera gear, clothes, and any other accessories I may want to bring along like a tripod. Regardless of the manufacturer, there is a certain expectation that the materials used will be nothing less than the finest ever made and the build quality flawless.

F-stop also recommends that to increase gear accessibility, the lid of the ICU, which in my video is the fiddly inner flat, can be folded away such that only the primary access port requires any zipping. A lovely bright colour is often appreciated by those that spend time in the mountains, while the gorgeous Cypress Green is perfect for wildlife photographers that want to keep a low profile. In today’s world of the always evolving media landscape, one is sometimes forced to capture and disseminate on a deadline, so I occasionally have to bring my 15″ MacBook Pro with me on location.

No shooter wants a bag to scream, “I’m a photo nerd and I have thousands of dollars of equipment in here”.

The straps are great, and you can mount them in any of the 22 different attachment points around the bag, but at least enough straps should come with the pack to carry a tripod. I have seen many other camera bags utilise this design in the last few years and I always thought it was a bit gimmicky, to be honest. With my load out full to the gills and a carbon fiber tripod with heavy video head, I was still comfortable. I first found F-Stop when I was looking for an insert that I could put in my Triple Aught Design Litespeed and turn it into a photo bag.The Small Pro works in combination with the Medium Slope ICU, and the Small Shallow works in combination with the Large Pro ICU.

The Medium Slope ICU still leaves almost half of the bag’s internal room free for non-photographic equipment. Depending on the airline you’re flying with, the Tilopa might be larger than the maximum carry-on requirements.The logical question to ask then is whether or not the clumsy camera access is enough to warrant disregarding the bag’s stellar comfort levels. While that is true, I have never broken a waist strap buckle in over 15 years of professional outdoor and adventure photography.
