Sorry for the late reply Phil. Yes, the latest DuraDiamond versions are top notch. Amazing bags! We use the latest Ajna and Tilopa and highly recommend these bags. You won't be disappointed! :)
That's awesome Curtis! You won't be disappointed! The f-stop DuraDiamond products are extremely well made and thought out. And as for the Tilopa, I own the original, and it is my all time favourite bag. Joe and I both also own the Lotus which is also amazing but more for shorter outings! Absolutely great bags! Enjoy! - Chris
I'll add this to my list of bags to look out for. It's great to get an idea of valuable features from some of my favorite photographers. I might just buy a small ICU in the shortterm and use my everyday backpack until I can afford a proper camera bag. :D
That sounds like a good plan. The ICU's are amazing and extremely padded themselves. They do have many options for bags, but the Mountain Series definitely has the most rugged options for trekking through the wilderness. :)
They are amazing packs. They have revised it since we created the review. There is a new DuraDiamond series which they have added many improvements and features. You will have to check it out. :)
Hey Damian. The ICU in this video is the Large Slope. The new DuraDiamond Ajna is top notch, and the new DuraDiamond Tilopa is the same great quality but bigger allowing you to fit more gear and accessories. We created a video on the new Tilopa that shows the amazing quality of the DuraDiamond bags. Check it out when you have time and let us know if you have any questions. ruclips.net/video/baFlySJMQa4/видео.html
Guys, do you think you'd be comfortable carrying 30 lbs of gear in that bag all day, hiking etc? or do the straps and belt not hold up for that. I ask because the next size f-stop pack up is the Tilopa and it has much more substantial shoulder and hip straps with good padding.
Hi David. I think you would be fine carrying the 30lbs of weight all day in the f-stop Ajna bag. However, if you want to have a bit more comfort and more space, I would definitely have a look at the f-stop Tilopa. The straps are much more padded, and while the bag is bigger, it doesn't feel bigger when carrying the bag. This for sure would provide you all day comfort in your suggested scenario. Hope that helps. :) - Chris
Thanks for your good review of this f-stop Ajna backpack. I'm seriously considering getting the latest version (2022)

Great, comprehensive review. Thanks.
Hi Berny. Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the review. We are hoping to review other bags in the future. :)
Just got the Tilopa DuraDiamond. Pretty excited to get out and shoot with it.

hi !
thanks for your video, nice to see the bag empty and all :). I just have one quick question : the icu you have, is it a large one ? Or medium ?
Hi Jamie. Totally sorry for the delayed response. The ICU used in the Ajna bag in this video was the Large Slope. Hope that helps. :)
@@TheNaturePhotoGuys it's okay !! thanks for answering :)
Thanks for presentation, what ICU size is this ?

Perfect bag but hard to get in my country :(
That's too bad. Where are you located, they ship to a fair amount of countries. And you are right, perfect bag indeed. :)
