F stop backpack2/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Non-standard features – This bag has an abundance of straps, D-rings, accessory loops and boasts a MOLLE attachment system that meets international standards for military, police and fire departments, but didn’t come standard with the 2 extra straps that go across the front of the bag for tripod and stands, which photographers would find very useful. Zippered Pockets on the Side Access Panels – I actually love this but I’m disappointed that they only put it on one of the panels.ĥ. Belt Pocket – This pocket would have been the ideal spot to keep sunglasses or a cell phone, but the size of it is rather inconvenient as it fits neither of those items.Ĥ. This leaves me with a need to find room for batteries, card wallet, triggers and cables somewhere in the main compartment or in the roll top section.ģ. The 13” laptop compartment is found directly behind this panel and with a laptop in place the front panel gets even tighter. With the bag empty, there isn’t much I can put into that area that isn’t flat so batteries are a definite no-no in that section. Front Panel – This panel is a little tight for my taste. I would have preferred to have a separate zip compartment altogether.Ģ. Laptop Compartment – Access to this compartment is through the roll top area making it a little inconvenient. It allows even distribution of weight for greater comfort.ġ. Comfort – Stabilizer straps around the hips are the best way to save your back and your shoulders. A Canon 5D Mark III body with a Canon 70-200mm L attached, a flash, a set of triggers, my Canon 50mmL, Canon 85mm L and Canon 16-35mm L.Ħ. This bag fit my gear selection quite nicely. Camera Capacity – I’m smaller in stature and not exactly the strongest person, so when I do urban exploration, I tend to pack light. Roll Top – Got a sweater? A mug? Or some other non-gear related item that you want to carry with you? The convenient roll top compartment with its adjustable size is the perfect section to store extra necessities.ĥ. Interestingly, this pocket also nicely fits an iPad or similar tablet if not used for the hydration system.Ĥ. They even have all the loops to hold the hose in place and a drainage weep hole to prevent moisture from seeping into the bag. ![]() Hydration – Again, I’m not an outdoor expert, but if I was, I might think that the optional water pack and dedicated hydration pocket at the back of the bag is convenient.
