There is no bag in the market that is as versatile and comfortable as this. Be it whether you are a pro-photographer always on the go, or the occasional traveller, hiker or even a street photographer, this bag is made for any type of condition.

Here is what you need to know why the F-Stop Guru is so great:

Airplane Grade Internal Aluminium Frame 

Photographers usually carry their camera and gear all day long. Naturally, you as a photographers would search for a bag that gives you the most comfort while doing what you enjoy most. Try carrying a bagful of camera gears and laptop. At times, a fully loaded backpack could weigh from 20-30 kgs.  Usually, carrying such weights on a normal backpack for days will tire us out, and might even damage our backs.F-Stop bags come with a metal internal frame that can be found in most outdoor bags. F-Stop bags are made with a lightweight airplane grade aluminum internal frame that can be found in the best backpacks. They adapted this system for the all F-Stop  bags, including the popular Guru.

 

 

YKK Zippers

 

The most common problem with bags are inferior zippers. Once broken, it’ll be costly and troublesome to repair. And what happens if it breaks during a trip?

F-Stop uses high grade YKK zippers to give you a comfort of mind. All F-Stop packs come with YKK water-resistant zippers. The expedition models – F-Stop Loka and Tilopa comes with water-proof zippers.

 

 

Laptop Sleeve + Built-in Organiser 

 


One thing most challenging when it comes to photographing is organising your equipment.

Because the Guru is designed for an everyday use, F-Stop provides a sufficient space big enough to house comfortably a 15-inch laptop together with a padded sleeve.

There are many compartments in these F-Stop bags to help you fit and organise various things: memory cards, stationaries, personals, your PocketWizards, camera peripherals and the like. This enables you to organize your items and find them easily in your bag.
