Ahh.. I have never had to check my Tilopa, so that should be just fine for you then!

Oh, maybe I wasn’t clear enough (sorry for my english), I meant to take all in cabin with me, not to check in the bag. I really wand to find a way to travel without two bags (one in cabin and one as check-in). If it’s the case, I generally put the tripod in the second bag.

The sukka is very big, I guess too big for me. The tilopa would be good enough. With the F-Stop straps system, I could attach more to the bag.

If you are happy to check the bag full of clothes I’d recommend going for one of the larger bags like the Sukha. The Tilopa is a 50 litre bag where as the Sukha is 70 litres.. so much more room for gear and clothes.

Thanks for the quick reply !

Currently I travel only around Europe, so it’s mainly direct fly. I have to check with the companies, but it would be great to have the Tilopa full of clothes and other stuff plus tripod, and the ICU as a personal bag…

Thank you again ! I’m glad F-Stop shared your article, I can follow your work now !

Thank you! As for my tripod, it really depends on where I’m travelling and what stops I have. I quite often fly with it attached to my F-stop backpack. Never had any issues with it in security. I do that if I have a stop over that is long enough for me to want to venture outside the airport and take photos.

Great review ! It confirmed what I was thinking about F-Stop Gear bags : Hard to kill ! It’s good to have an actual test of 5 years on the ground !

I was wondering, when you travel, your tripod is in the check-in luggage ? Did you ever have the possibility to take it with you in cabin ? I saw this week in edinburgh, Scotland, a man with the tripod in hand, after the security, and before to fly… I was a bit surprised.

Thanks for your time.

I’m sure that f-stop would prefer to be shipping the bags out.. finding the balance between having millions of dollars of stock sitting there waiting to be sold and having not enough stock to keep your customers happy is one of the biggest struggles for businesses who sell physical items.

I’ve got a Lowe Pro waist / sling pack as well, it doesn’t get used all that much any more though as I stopped shooting events a few years ago.
