InleidingHelaas is the tilopa is not to be found in the pricewatch.
That’s why I put him under the icu.

Recently I have been in the tweakers forum the question was asked what a good bag was made to my car in the mountains.

Backpack with compartment for photo equipment

I was pointed to the bags from F-stop.
There are many different bigger, but the Tilopa v2 appealed to me the most.
Because there were no reviews written about this bag and I am sure that there are more people like me hesitate with the purchase, I will in this review the bag rate and extensive testing.Table of contents:

KeuzeMijn choice for an f-stop bag is made on the basis of answers in the forum.
F-stop bags are specially designed to expensive photo equipment to store in an outdoor bag. There are several series intended for other conditions.
The Tilopa v2 is from the mountain series and has a capacity of 50l.
For me, 50l minimum necessary to get the necessary stuff in the store for a week.
I opted for the black version since the dirt here, the least soon would fall.Price and leveringNadat I had picked the type I wanted to have I am looking for a webshop.
Of course, as a Dutchman as cheap as possible!
At CameraNu he was on sale for 279 euros.
Of course, a whopping amount of money but sale prefer quality over multiple times in agony.
Two days later I got him neatly delivered by postnl.
To my surprise, there is no camera section in but must this always be purchased.
Have a small ICU ordered for another 59 euro
Also this was quickly and neatly delivered!
Not previously ordered on cameranu.nl but must say that I am very pleased with it until now toe.De TasSpecificaties of the bag:

The first thing I noticed was that he was still pretty big!
I am happy that I have ordered and not his brother with 70l content!
Bag looks nice and feels of good quality.
At first glance, there is very much space in the bag but after the installation of the ICU is this less rapidly.
Bag is reinforced with an aluminum frame to have enough strength to bieden.De vakkenVoorkant

To the front is a waterproof box that is securely closed with a waterproof zipper.

Unfortunately, they have no small boxes preserved, for example, a wallet in lost to.
Go to the box itself to use for food storage.On the top of the bag

On the top of the bag, a box, where this is possible.
Also they have a clip in where you easy your key, you can hang.
Two pockets are equipped with zippers, which is ideal to, for example, memory cards in store.Great box

What is the size box, make it special and probably the F-stop bags in general is that it is accessible from the rear.
The back of the bag can be separately zipped so easy to get at the equipment.

This is a lot faster than that first half the bag should be emptied.
Yet it is not as easy as the website makes you believe, the shoulder straps sit almost always in the way!
In the back of the bag are also small boxes, two of which are closed with a zipper.

There is also place for a laptop or tablet in the size box.
My 14,1 Dell fits in it perfectly.Box at the bottom

At the bottom is also a box.
Have unfortunately no idea what you lost can since it will be very small and difficult to reach.Expansion mogelijkhedenn

There are for bag different extensions options.
A must is the ICU, these come in different sizes: small, medium, large and extra large.
The ICU in the bag to be fastened by means of velcro.
Because the back can be removed it is easy to get to the ICU.
Also it is difficult for the ICU release liners. because this is greater than the flap that you losritst.
I myself have a medium-ordered since I’m not so much photo equipment do.

The bag can also be equipped with a water bag to be so easy to drink times a draw.

The not yet ordered but this can still come in the future.

In the video below, you can see that she also had a sleeping bag to everyone.

By making use of elastic belt buckles can there parts be strapped to the bag.
Also, there are small flaps in order but so as to offer support to walking sticks or tripods.Weight and comfortDe bag has an empty weight almost 2 kilos.
After I put my accessories in it have plus food and drink I to 25 pounds.
Find the self is not heavy to walk, but that is of course different for everyone!
The bag carries well and is easily adjustable.
Use is made of a hip and chest strap to keep the weight as good as possible, to divide, in my eyes, this is also good succeeded.
To show how the bag, I have a photo of myself taken while I bag wear.
