Why do our tutors choose this product?

All of our tutors love to carry cameras and lenses all around to explore different places, so we have high standard of choosing a good camera backpack. We have tried different brands, but yet we could not find the perfect one. Until we met USA F-stop Mountain Series, we could finally find the best one for us.A good camera backpack must equip:

Waterproof, durable and wear resistant: Outdoor photographer’s backpack must be waterproof and wear resistant. Even you put your backpack on any tough surface, you do not have to worry about making any scratches
Security: Back opening to prevent thieves stealing your expensive gears easily.
Suitable capacity: Except cameras and lenses, there should be plenty of space for personal belongings such as jacket, laptop, food and water etc.
Tripod Attachment: Tripod is a must for outdoor photographers, a good backpack should carry a tripod properly which you do not have to carry the tripod separately.
Light but tough: Gears are heavy already, a good backpack should keep a nice balance between light weight and good quality.
Proper thickness of straps: Photographers can comfortably carry the heavy backpack with proper straps.
Beautiful outlook: Not only pictures have to be beautiful, but an eye-catching outlook is also important in order maintain the whole look.

F-stop Mountain Series Backpacks meet all the requirements mentioned above! We recommend the following style of Mountain Series for outdoor photographer.

Lotus (Press Here) – 32L, suitable for female and male using small MILC like Sony A7RIV
Ajna (Press Here) – 40L, suitable for male and mid to long haul trip. Our tutors are using Orange + Large ICU as well!
Tilopa (Press Here) – 50L, Large volume with thicker straps, suitable for long haul and outdoor trip.

Exceptional all-day support provided by an internal aluminium frame and ergonomic Soft Flex injection molded EVA belt and shoulder straps.

Must-have Accessory (1)：ICU（Remember to choose a suitable ICU!）

One of the best parts of F-stop backpacks is that ICU is changeable. This allows you to change a suitable ICU in different situations. For example,

Taking aurora photographs in Iceland: Cameras x 2, lenses x 6, filters x 8, tripods x 2 and heavy, thick clothes. We suggest you to choose Ajna backpack + large ICU (less gears can choose Lotus backpack + medium ICU)
Daily photo shooting / short haul trip: Camera x 1, lenses x 2, tripod x 1，we would suggest you to choose Ajna/Lotus backpack + medium ICU

ICU suitable for Tilopa

Large ICU and XL ICU is recommended.

Must-have Accessory (2)：Waterproof Rain Cover

F-stop backpacks are waterproof and coming with waterproof zips at the top. Shower will not cause a problem. (Our tutors have experienced this for several times) Anyway, F-stop waterproof Rain Cover is also available, it protects your backpack and gears even when it is pouring. We recommend you to purchase the large rain cover together.
