The backpacks have no internal compartments so once you have selected the bag you then need to choose a camera compartment, or ICU (internal camera unit) as F-stop refer to it, to go in it. There are also 3 stripped back, Ultralight options in the Mountain range but more on those in another review. For outdoor photographers it will be the Mountain range in which there is a choice of 5 backpacks ranging in volume from the 32 litre Lotus all the way up to the massive 80 litre Shinn, each available in a choice of 3 colours. The first step is to chose the range and size of the bag. And if it’s not too much to ask I’d like it to be as light as possible.į-stop have a different, more flexible approach than most camera bag manufacturers (although it’s no longer unique), theirs is a modular system in which you choose the individual components according to your needs. Internally, a well protected space for my camera gear goes without saying (it is a camera bag after all) but it also needs to have room for other items… extra layers, food and drink etc and, when I am travelling, space for my laptop, chargers, cables and anything else I might need on the flight. When I’m working, it will get dumped on the floor and dragged around in all sorts of environments so I need something that is durable and rugged. I’m quite demanding when it comes to my camera bags. So this review is coming from the point of view of what I require from the perfect bag as a landscape photographer, specifically something I can use to travel with when I am working overseas. The perfect bag is a much more specific thing. ![]() ![]() At least that’s what I like to tell myself because surely it can’t just be me? I’ve certainly reviewed a few camera bags on these pages and in my search to find the perfect one, I’ve come to the conclusion that like everything in photography there is no one size fits all. Photographers have something of an obsession with camera bags.
