f-stop Lotus vs Tilopa

[@foveonyc]

Excellent Work! Love tilopa backpack! Absolutely light and comfortable! Thank You!!!

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks for the comment!

[@chirantha]

Thanks for the review man. Good comparison especially with you having it on your back for size comparison

[@DesmondCheng]

No problem 👍

Great review, was really good to see them compared while on your back. Price in Australia for the Tilopa with the Large ICU is over $600, and the make you pay extra for the damn rain cover.

damn crazy!

Have you thought of doing a comparison video between the f-stop bags and the Peak Design Travel Backpack? I would love to hear your thoughts since there are many similarities.

[@DesmondCheng]

thank u for the suggestion! ill definitely have to do one in the near future! for now here are my thoughts: If you are gonna go on a multi-day hike, the fstop tilopa is the answer as its extremely more comfortable! If you are wanting more of an everyday bag, peak design is the answer! Peak design travel backpack has much more features and its easier to get your camera in and out of. Although the straps make it moderately comfortable, the Fstop tilopa is EXTREMELY comfortable!

I own the travel and it just isn’t very comfortable when loaded down

Great video! Can you please do a review of the Mindshift Backlight Elite 45L? It seems pretty comparable to the Tilopa with a few additional features. It’s also a camera bag that actually allows you to carry camera equipment without having to purchase additional accessories.

Hi Jason, I would love to do a review, but unfortunately I don't have one to do a review =(

[@troutriver58]

Thanks Desy. Do you think you could carry 30 lbs of camera gear in the Lotus comfortably, even for a day trip? or does that kind of weight demand the Tilopa (because of the better supporting straps and belt)

[@raylui6998]

thx

[@forthwest694]

Do either bags have side access to your camera? Or can you only get to your camera by opening the back?

[@DesmondCheng]

No side access unfortunately =(

[@itsdavo5810]

Hey Desy! Appreciate the video comparison! How do the side compartments compare in terms of size? Any way you can measure the lengths? Would really appreciate it!

[@itsdavo5810]

hm on second thought, I think it's not necessary. I have an item that fits (rather snug) in my Tilopa, and it looks like it would not fit in the Lotus. That's a bummer.. thanks again for the video!
