f-stop Large Rain Cover

Product Information

Opening the top cover to the main compartment, I noticed that there were drops of water on the top of the trash bag that was providing shape and structure during testing. ICUs at B&H Photo– Tiny, Small Shallow, Small Pro, Medium Shallow, Medium Slope, Large Pro, X-Large Pro, Master Cine

To start with, I would really have liked to see more traditional storm flaps covering the zippers. While the YKK Aquaguard zippers should provide a strong level of weather resistance on their own, they can be damaged. A damaged zipper isn’t going to provide the rated weather resistance. A storm flap provides an added layer of defense against water intrusion. In addition to the losses incurred by damaged gear, if this is being used in a professional context there’s also the potential losses in not being able to carry out y our job as the photographer/videographer too. F-Stop pioneered the concept of removable padded camera cubes in outdoor photography bags., allowing you to customize your load-out to carry as much or as little camera equipment as necessary. The F-Stop ICU lineup currently consists of eight different sizes, and all but the largest Master Cine size will fit into the Tilopa. Without a doubt, the Cypress Green Tilopa DuraDiamond is one of the best-looking camera bags on the market.

Lower webbing for poles or an axe. Carrying a Tripod Various tripod options are demonstrated with a shorter tripod ( Peak Design Travel Tripod) and a larger 2-Series tripod ( Really Right Stuff TFC-24L). Constructed with high grade materials specifically to meet the challenges of those who demand performance without compromise. The bigger problem for me is the problem of water and camera gear being in the same compartment. I would argue that every possible measure should be taken to protect the camera gear from getting wet, and this isn’t an example of that. Typically when I carry a tripod with the Ajna, I use one of the side straps not the rear ones for mounting it. Much as I’ll talk about later with hydration bladders, I find that side mounting a tripod keeps it closer to my center of gravity and makes it more comfortable to carry.

Looking at the dimensions given in these five locations, all you would know is that the bag is somewhere between 59.7 cm and 64.5 cm tall. The difference between 59.7 and 64.5 cm is significant and could make a difference to someone shopping for a bag that meets specific airline carry-on requirements. Similar disparities were seen with depth and width dimensions. A thermoplastic film should be essentially water proof (at least to rain). This is essentially what non-breathable rain gear is made out of. Granted you can’t expect dry bag like performance, but you shouldn’t need that for rain anyway. F-stop have a different, more flexible approach than most camera bag manufacturers (although it’s no longer unique), theirs is a modular system in which you choose the individual components according to your needs. Please note that the dimensions and weights in this comparative table are accurate. F-Stop’s own dimensions and weights are not accurate.I changed my mind at the last minute in part because of the larger size of the Tilopa. At the time, I felt the smaller Ajna would be a better fit for flying. Moreover, I was concerned that with 10 L more capacity, I would find a reason to load it up and carry all that much more weight.

Specifications I looked at a lot of options in this process, including those by ThinkTank’s sister company MindShift Gear, LowePro, Guragear, and others. However, in the end, F-Stop Gear’s had a couple of points that made it stand out to me from the competition.
