F stop blog3/27/2023 Large ICU with space for 5DMkII, and the massive Canon 70-200mm F2.8 There are a ton of dividers and Velcro straps to play with so you are bound to find combination to suit your needs. As with most camera bags the ICU is compartmentalised and can be somewhat customised arranging the gear how you want using the velco dividers. For the trip to the snow I wanted the medium ICU as I didn’t need all my gear or the weight and also to maximise space for extra’s (clothes, gloves, water, food). For the most part I will use the large ICU as I can fit and easily access to all my gear. The units can be swapped in and out depending on your space requirements or used separate to the bag with the attached carry handle. The ICU, or internal camera unit is a nifty interchangeable way to store your camera equipment. So I bought the Tilopa BC, with both a medium and large ICU at a pocket lightening $420 including delivery. There certainly seems to be a buzz about this brand just now, no doubt fuelled by the Australian distributer, Rod Thomas and the numerous photographer endorsements (sadly I am not one….yet). So I blindly purchased an F-Stop camera bag having read very little about it, doing no research but only hearing excellent feedback from its users. It has limited space for extra gear required on long day treks and had become uncomfortable to carry, especially when loaded with close to 15kg of camera gear. The Lowepro Mini Trekker camera backpack I have been using for years has lasted me really but was not suitable for a trip I had planned to the snow. Is there anything such as the perfect camera bag? Read on to see how the F-Stop Tilopa BC stacks up.
