Like all f-stop bags, the Ajna pack is durable and weatherproof, made with tear-resistant fabric. The Ajna travel and adventure camera pack comes in a wee bit smaller in size compared to the Tilopa pack, but it still offers a generous 40 liters of storage in a low profile pack that works as a carry-on bag in most commercial aircraft. AJNA 40L f-stop’s Anja 40L Pack shown with the “Essentials” bundle Price: Starting at $319 for the Pack OnlyĢ.Color options: Anthracite (Black), Aloe (Green), and Nasturtium (Orange).Adjustable weight carry system and frame for maximum all-day comfort.Durable, weatherproof, and tear-resistant fabric.Hypalon patch on back for carrying snowboards, etc.This camera pack is actually comfortable to wear! The reason for this is an internal aluminum frame and adjustable support system, but you honestly have to wear this bag to fully appreciate what that means. One of the most important, make-or-break factors for me when choosing a bag is comfort. Specifically, f-stop credits the high level of protection to the bag’s “weather-resistant 420D ripstop nylon combined with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film, which deflects direct moisture.” These bags also use innovative weather-sealed zippers and Hypalon zipper garages to protect access openings. ![]() I mention this because I have several photographer friends who do carry drones and this is always a point of contention when it comes to choosing a bag (or complaining about having to carry multiple packs).įor those who plan to head out into harsher weather conditions, you can rest easier knowing that your gear will be protected from the elements, thanks to this bag’s weather-resistant design, fabrics, and components. Although I don’t use a drone myself, I believe the Tilopa 50L camera pack would make a great option for photographers who often carry drones because of the size and layout options available with the ICUs offered in some of the bundles. One of my favorite things about this bag (and many of the f-stop gear bags) is its expanding side zipper pockets, which make it easy to expand my carrying capacity and fit in more gear and other packing essentials, depending on the trip I’m taking. I highly recommend checking out the bundles, each of which includes a Pro Large ICU (internal camera unit), which is perfect for packing multiple cameras, with or without attached lenses, and there’s plenty of room for long telephoto lenses (as you can see in the product photo above). Versatility maximized! The Tilopa 50L camera pack is perfect for those long trips or any hike in which you plan to load up with heavy gear. TILOPA 50L f-stop’s Tilopa 50L Pack shown with the “Essentials” bundle Here’s a quick look at our top five f-stop camera packs, in no particular order (as needs change depending on the shoot & situation). They’re durable, versatile, and stylish to boot. We’re fortunate to get to test out a ton of different gear for reviews, and after having used a number of bags and comparing notes with colleagues, I feel comfortable saying that f-stop camera packs look different (in a good way) and perform better than most. An overview of these camera packs reads like a best in class list regarding features and functionality. In fact, with the various design and bundling options they offer for each pack, it’s hard to find a line of camera packs that compete at this level. ![]() While a number of brands offer camera bags that score high on several of the checkpoints above, this article will focus on one brand in particular whose line of bags set the bar for many of these features: f-stop. Design (color, aesthetics/style, diverse applications).Performance (comfort, ease-of-use, ruggedness, protection).
