I (Chris Marzonie, Editorial Director, Overland Journal) was telling you about how well the F-Stop Tilopa worked for me in Mexico, so I thought I'd send some images your way. These were captured by my friend Shirley Durham while we were en route to locate a historical battle site in a very remote region of Sonora. We used horses (and a cool little donkey) for the first leg, to cross the river and get us up into the canyons, and from there we had to proceed on foot.
I carried the Canon EOS 5D, three lenses (17-35mm, 70-200mm, 50mm), a Speedlite 580EX flash, and some hoods, batteries and cards along with my little Canon A85 compact (in one of the pockets on the hip belt - brilliant) a Camelbak water bladder, my lunch and a first-aid kit. It worked especially well. Everything is easy to get to and there is just enough room to be useful for an all-day shoot like this, but not so over-equipped as to be too bulky and heavy. I think F-Stop hit the mark, as this will definitely remain as my primary bag for any assignments that require footwork (hiking, skiing, climbing, etc) or riding (horses, bikes, motorcycles, you name it).
