One of the Best Camera Backpacks
Over the last 15 years, I have tried many camera backpacks from different brands around the world. After my back surgery, my priorities for a camera backpack changed. Ergonomics and back support became the most important things for me. I have to say that Tilopa is the best backpack I have ever had. I like that it has everything you expect from a backpack, plus a little extra. At the same time, it does not have too many unnecessary features that you will never use. If you are looking for a backpack for every situation, with high build quality and great ergonomics, you probably will not find anything better.

TILOPA 50L
In my opinion, this is the best backpack for photographers who love being out in nature. It has enough space for my camera and lenses, as well as clothes and snacks.

No se porque no tuve una antes
La verdad es que esta no es la primera era que tengo, de hecho es la tercera. Siempre las he cambiado por motivos estéticos, vamos , que me cansaba de utilizar la misma. Pero esta última se me rompió, y tan desconcertado estaba del ecosistema de la marca, que desconocía su departamento de garantías. Creo que abrir esa puerta me ha catapultado directamente al fanatismo 🤣. Y es que apartir de este momento mi opinión ya no es objetiva. 🥰🥰

Awesome Bag
I’ve been using this for the past few weeks and I can honestly say, it’s the best bag I’ve ever used. It’s so versatile and comfortable to carry for a large bag and has so many storage area. Highly recommend this bag.

Awesome photo & hiking backpack
This is hands down the best photo backpack I ever had. I had an earlier Tilopa version before but this one is even sturdier and more comfortable. I use this backpack on a daily basis to carry my gear around - varying from video to phot setup depending on the job. This backpack with the large ICU fits a loooooot of gear!All the pockets are easily accessible even when the backpack is fully loaded. Even when fully loaded it is super comfortable to carry and you have many options to adjust the backpack to your needs. The waist strap is helping a lot with carrying heavy weights for longer times. If you replace the large ICU with a smaller one you get the best of both worlds - Camera gear safely stowed and plenty of room for hikes or any other activity. The flexibility to place the gatekeeper straps wherever you need them and (almost) all buckles being metal makes this even longer lasting than previous versions. Fully recommend this backpack and would definitely buy again!

Great updates - stand up warranty
My third bag…F-Stop has been great about standing behind their product and the newest version seems to have a much more robust zipper system. The pack feels great and holds a ton. Can recommend this bag. (20 year pro photog)

A great and solid backpack that really packs all I need for video/photo (at once!)
It took a while to get the right setup with the ICUs but now we can finally transport a fully rigged FX3 and accessories in the Large Pro ICU. On top of that we're rocking a small shallow ICU with the photo cameras and lenses, so everything is always with me. The straps are more than comfy, even with a higher load, and fit so well. Looking forward to the next shoots.
