[Zipper] At this point I've only had the pack out a few times but I love it already. I wanted something that would let me carry a couple bodies, several lenses, and leave room for some water, snacks, a small first aid kit, and a layer of clothing. This bag will get it done wonderfully with the ample interior storage and exterior options. I purchased an additional pair of the gatekeeper straps so I can use the two that came with it for hanging a tripod and have an extra pair to sling underneath incase I want to carry things like a roll of camo netting or a heavy jacket. After putting two bodies, three lenses (including my 100-400), and a strobe in the ICU, I have plenty of pockets and space left for the aforementioned gear. I especially like the memory card storage with magnetic closures that keep extra or filled cards nice and secure.

This bag cost more than double the price of my last one but it's at least 3 times as much bag and looks built to last!

[Zipper] I purchased this bag so I could have something a little smaller than its big brother the TILOPA which I absolutely love. The f-stop bags are build extremely well and with their inserts you can configure several different ways. They are on the pricey side but I spent a lot more money trying to find the perfect bag, and in my opinion, the f-stop TILOPA and AJNA are the perfect camera bags!

[Yes] For mi kind of work in sports events and trekking is an excellent backpack. fully wetproof and lots of zips to reach confortable the equipment. Also it is not to big, just a good size for 1 body, 3 lenses, flash, drone and some batteries and chargers.

[Universal] As are all F-stop packs this is another quality product. I purchased this with the Medium insert. They also make a drone specific bag for a DJI Mavic series drone that fits on top of the medium insert and a smaller bag thats good for recharging gear on top of the drone bag. This all fits into the Lotus 4 Core bag which is carry on size for most airlines. Worst case on a flight somewhere, and they demand to check the bag, just pull out the insert with your main camera gear and carry that on. Treated with minimal care, this bag should last many years. For me, it's ideal for air travel or any type of travel where you want your camera gear with drone in a minimum sized bag. Also a good bag for day hiking day trips. Overall a nice compact quality bag with lots of options. Recommended!

[Universal] mi lo que necesitaba.

[4.785 lb] I know this bag is expensive but if I would have purchased it right away rather then spending just as much money if not more on several other bags, I would have saved myself a lot of grief and disappointment. This bag has it all! Enough room to fit my 5D Mark IV, 1D X Mark II, 70mm to 200mm, 100mm to 400mm, 24mm to 70mm, and 100mm macro lenses plus the rest of my gear. The bag is tough and the zippers are amazing. I have only put approximately ten miles on while it was on my back but in those miles, the bag was very comfortable with plenty of padding for the 40 plus pounds of gear. Spend the money now on one bag and have something rather then what I did, spend the same amount on 4 other bags that don't hold near the gear and are not even in the same class as the f-stop TILOPA 50L.

[Black] I already have a reasonably nice Manfrotto backpack, but with some hiking on the horizon in the Colorado Rockies, I bought the F-Stop Lotus 32L Essentials backpack because the reviews were impressive and the specs showed a lower weight and an ability to carry slightly more gear than my Manfrotto. The quality seems excellent, I really love the Essentials inclusion of the Slope internal camera unit. The Lotus seems to be quite rugged, good quality zippers and the Essentials combo also includes a nice rain cover. My first hike for this 74 year old body went remarkably well. A younger me might have gone for a larger 40L or 50L F-Stop Essentials, but for a day hike, or a 1 or 2 overnight hike, the Lotus 32L is worth your consideration.

[Black] Most camera bags have a painfully critical weak spot - they're big but designed ONLY to hold camera equipment. Any trip that involves a hike of more than a couple miles begs the question - where do I put my lunch? Even if there was enough room in the bag, stuffing a PB&J between the lenses just doesn't feel like a good idea. I specifically searched out a bag that would hold a lot of equipment with a separate area for food. This one's perfect - setup the ICU partitions as you would most other bags, drop it in, and put a stuffsack/drybag with a full day's worth of food right on top. Side pockets can fit water bottles.

The large ICU included in this bundle has about exactly the same capacity as my big classic Lowepro bag. The insert holds my full kit: Camera with 100-400 tele and 1.4 extender, a wide angle lens, a 50, a 100 mm macro AND rail, cleaning kit and a few filters. I can hit the trail ready for landscapes, wildlife, close-ups, and any impromptu portrait work. Of course, most missions are more specialized - I'm considering adding a medium ICU to balance camera/non camera space more equally. This could conceivably even allow a one or two-night backpacking trip, with tent and bag strapped to the outside.

When using the large ICO, the topmost area is still partially covered when the rear panel is open. Plan for this when setting up partitions.

The strap and belt system is up there with any high-end day pack or backpack, unlike most camera bags, where the straps seem like an afterthought.

Everything about this bag screams quality construction. If you want to carry a lot of gear for miles AND actually have lunch - this is the bag!

[Black] This bag is awesome, period. There's not many choices in a bag this large, so it is what it is, but this is my third f-stop bag and I love them all. The ICU is huge and very flexible in terms of configuration. I'm moving up from a MindShift 36L bag (which def doesn't feel half as small as this Shinn, FWIW). The MindShift does not have a removable ICU, which honestly I could take or leave. I kinda like the simplicity and firmer construction of having the ICU integrated rather than removable, but it's not of consequence. I could see some value in having multiple ICUs that you can drop in, configured for different types of jobs or equipment.

For me, I've got mine packed with all Canon gear... (2) R5 bodies with cages, EF 300mm f/2.8L with RF adapter mounted, RF 85mm f1.2L, RF 28-70mm f2L (for stills), RF 24-70mm f2.8L IS (for video), RF 100mm 2.8L Macro, an f-stop filter pouch, tons of batteries, cage top handle for one of the R5 bodies, drop-in filters for the 300L, rocket blower, spare cards, etc. And then I've still got extra flexible room for an Area 51 tether cable, Edelkrone follow focus and rails, small audio rec setup, etc. depending on the job. Mayyybe my Ronin RS3 Pro gimbal, but that would be very tight fit.

The bag is heavy as h*ll with all that big glass in there, not gonna lie. Is what it is.

The construction of the bag and materials is absolutely top notch- you won't find anything better. The exterior zippers are all weather resistant and rubberized, which can make opening a little less smooth, but I'll take the protection from dust/water.

[Zipper] I've been working in sports television for 30 yrs, and I've always been on a quest for the PERFECT backpack for work. I've been through numerous Kelty Redwing 50's, Tactical backpacks, O'Neill surf bags, and a lot of others. This one is my favorite of all time. It has pockets all over the place, its huge on the inside, reinforced bottom. There are only 2 things I don't like. One, is that it's not waterPROOF. It is water resistant but not waterproof. But it does dry quickly. The second, is the cost. I usually spend @$150 for a backpack that lasts a year or so. I just told myself I have to make this last at least 3 yrs to justify it. The first week I brought it to work I had at least a dozen co workers ask about this pack. It's definitely an eye catcher.
