what is your favorite camera bag?

[@fabianratschiller6848]

Attilio Ruffo Tra poco prendo lo zaino Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW. Sperando che poi vada anche bene per portarlo come bagaglio a mano in aereo...

[@martinjn2920]

F Stop Ajna as I have just bought one, looking forward to testing it out in the forthcoming weeks

[@AttilioRuffo]

Which color did you get?

Found your channel tonight and subscribed immediately. This is going to be fun. Your accent is fantastic and for a 58 year old man (me) - I only wish I had hair like yours!!

I’d take 2 years ago an Ajna bag in green version, after your review and i’m happy avere time i use it!

[@fstopmiki]

I'm not sure if this was already mentioned in the comments but the loops on the inside of the lid are MOLLE attachment system. You can attach f-stop accessories there, like the Lens barrel or the digi buddy. Great vid btw

[@stevebanks484]

Hi Attilio - I upgraded from the Lowepro bag that you also have to the Ajna. Superb, rugged bag with loads of practical space. Would thoroughly recommend it to others. If there is a down-side it gets a little heavy with all my gear, but that's down to me. For day-shoots I tend to figure out what I really need then use the Lowepro so the two work together well depending on use.

[@AttilioRuffo]

That’s why we need all these bags!!! :-)

[@charleshoward1475]

Brilliantly done Attilio. Your video's are always clear and concise, and this one is no exception. I love your bag and will be checking out prices for it over here in U.K. Thank You.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks 🙏

[@frd-kj5qu]

Hello Attilio, I am looking at the same bag right now to replace my Peak Design Everyday 20l. I need a bag enough comfortable for a long walk to carry all my gear. 1) How comfortable is Anja for a day trip ? 2) Have you tried to weight your full equipped bag ? Mine is 12 kg or 26 pounds 3) I understood this bag is NOT waterproof but more resistant to water for a short period of time, right ? So, we would need to buy their rain cover accessory. Many thanks for your answers and please continue your videos, they are great and absolutely useful. Cheers Fred

[@bh6279]

Attilio, very enjoyable, love the details in the finished photo, Bravo on the great job

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you!

[@eduardovilela7915]

Attilio, your should try the Atlas Adventure Pack. It is second to none. You can adjusted to your height, it is very strong, no need to buy additional stuff where you fit your gear. It is a small American firm that it is very friendly. They have a ‘special feature’ calles origami where I am almost sure you can carry your drone. The best I have seen so far. Thank you again for your great videos.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Will check it out! Thanks

[@HiethGeorge]

Hi Attilio - thanks for another cool review I like th elook of the FStop I have just purchased theLowepro ProTatic and find i can get everythign in plus my DJI Mavic I got it for £185 I was going to put the link on but it would be affiliated so I did not want to be cheeky !

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks George!

[@bradhiron7170]

I've been researching this bag and stumbled across your terrific channel. Loved the review, especially the real life example of how much gear it can really hold! I'm not sure I could carry it all, but it's great to see what you can truly put into the bag. I really like the modular design of these bags, including the ability to remove the ICU in a pinch when traveling by air, or even swap out the ICU for a smaller one (giving more room for non-photo gear) My question is about carrying tripods. I see you often carrying two tripods. Several other reviews commented that securing a tripod was not especially good on this bag (in their opinion, compared to other brands). They thought that using the side pockets was an afterthought. To me, this doesn't look like an oversight by Fstopgear, as they have a separate tripod bag that looks like it would attach to the many attachment points on the main bag. Did you ever consider their tripod bag or try it? I would think that it would supply a bit of extra protection from the elements for your tripod (for those of us that don't live in sunny California ;) Again, great channel. I appreciate all the effort you put in to your videos, and creating a broader community with your Lightroom Challenges.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Brad! I love this bag, and I agree that maybe the tripod can be a challenge. I am testing a new bag now, the Shimoda Explore 40, I might do a comparison video soon...

[@arbez101]

Attilio! You da man!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Hi Rick! :-)

[@seabreezeof]

Always enjoy watching your video's Attilio. Besides Fstop, 2 other bags you need to review are Atlas and Shamoda. With Fstop, to many add on's need to be bought, for example you did not highlight where you can keep your water bottle, because if you want one, you have to buy it, likewise with weather cover, and so forth and so on. There are also three other non photo bags, geared more to backpacking that can be used for photography which are Deuter, Osprey and Gregory , all you need to do is add a ICU.

[@AttilioRuffo]

I did review the Shimoda!

[@tomreid2153]

Just purchased the lowepro pro tactic 450. Very solid, but heavy. Considering an Atlas athlete for hiking

[@karankhalingrai4086]

Sir I liked your camera bag...!!! I use small bag PINBALL DYNAMITE FOCUS Camera Bag (Black). This is small an handy it's pretty gud.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Karan!

[@3minutesfilms160]

good stuff as always!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks 🙏

[@hugodapalma]

Attillo I have almost the same equipment as you have, I just only have one camera but the drone and 3 extra I have it to, I will go for Tilopa as it gives a little more space if you are going for a hike and want to take some food, water and extra clothes. But I find it a great bag, I have the big one the Shinn when I'm going for camping/fotography hike. Nice review though. Thank you.

[@AttilioRuffo]

👍

[@johnwhalen3320]

Excellent review. Check out the Atlas bags. I’m even more impressed with my new Atlas bags. Taking the Adventure bag to the Faroes next week. Can’t wait! Thanks for a great channel.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks John, will check!

[@mikemaheno3233]

The unknown thin elastic. Could it be cable/wire holders?

[@mygardalake]

CIAO Attilio gentilmente mi dici la marca dello zanio piu grosso? poi secondo te riesco a farci stare mavic2 ,radio comando ,batterie n2, occhiali gooless della dji(sono belli grossi), macchina fotografica sony alfa6000, obbiettivo e cianfrusaglie varie. grazie mille marco

[@AttilioRuffo]

ciao Marco, si tratta del F-stop gear Ajna, e Attilio mio avviso ci dovrebbe stare tutto... trovi il link qui...www.kit.com/atti. ciao

[@foveonyc]

Excellent video!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you 🙏

[@Alberto.LIS.Morais]

Hello man, you carry a lot in this backpack, do they let you carry this bag with hand luggage when you travel by plane?. How much is weighing this backpack with everything inside?

[@AttilioRuffo]

Yes this is a carry on!

[@ulstervillan1307]

Hi ya. Do the f-stop bags come complete with the icu or is it a separate item that needs to be purchased..?

[@AttilioRuffo]

The ICU is separate!

[@ulstervillan1307]

@@AttilioRuffo thank you.

[@AttilioRuffo]

👍

[@mikesmithch]

what size ICU are you demonstrating?

[@AttilioRuffo]

Pro Large!

[@eatwelllivewell4941]

Looks like a great bag!

[@eatwelllivewell4941]

It is indeed! :-)

[@AttilioRuffo]

I love it!

[@AttilioRuffo]

[@davidmedeiros7572]

The webbing loops look like molle or pals attachment points for adding modular pouches etc.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Maybe!

[@ShakeelNaim]

Have you tried the Shimoda Designs’s Explore 40 or 60? They look like awesome bags, maybe even better than the Ajna. I’m waiting for their UK store to become available so I can get one.

[@AttilioRuffo]

I did look at the Shimoda... but I couldn’t find a place where to see it in person:-(

[@santoshmahalik]

Wow..What was the ultimate weight of that bag with all these gear stuffed in?

[@AttilioRuffo]

I am not sure, but it wasn’t light... :-)

[@samarth9341]

It's not comfortable bag though. I have severe back pain even though I do not carryuch on my bag. I have mirrorless body with two lens tripod and insta 360 one r. I have invested so much on this bag and I'm stuck with this now 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@love_newborn]

I love your hands :)

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks!!!

[@labyzoune5751]

Lowepro Flipside 400aw worksgreat for me

[@AttilioRuffo]

Hi Fred! The Anja works well for a day trip, loaded weights about 25 pounds and you really don’t need the rain cover in my opinion... good luck!

[@mikemaheno3233]

The unknown thin elastic. Could it be cable holders?

[@AttilioRuffo]

Hey Mike, it might be...it’s a bizarre position for that though...

[@martinjn2920]

They are MOLLE fittings, if you use the camera bag without the ICU, you can attach some of the smaller F stop bags (Lens Barrels and Navin for example) to the lid, there is a small picture somewhere on the F Stop website that shows the Navin being used this way. Its not something that I have used but just what I have gleaned from researching MOLLE

[@AttilioRuffo]

Great!!! Now I finally understand! Thanks Martin
