F stop bags3/19/2023 This should give you a clear sense of each ICU’s size. While it’s impossible to photograph every type of camera and lens in each ICU, I have photographed the same camera and lens combinations next to and within each ICU. Hopefully, this helps you choose perfect combinations or choose between two sizes when you are on the fence. In this section, I have photographed every currently available F-Stop ICU and created side-by-side images of common combinations and size choices. Here you can see the theory put into practice with a Tilopa backpack, a Small Pro ICU and a Medium Slope ICU. Consider the internal dimensions of the bag you have, or the one you are about to purchase, and compare to the combined dimensions of the various available ICUs. Some of the diagrams available from F-Stop show options for multiple ICUs, but be aware that they do not show all possible options. In our example, two Small Pro ICUs are more affordable than buying a Large Pro and a Small Pro. The advantage is that it is a slightly cheaper approach to owning two ICUs in some cases. The disadvantage with dual ICUs is you lack the single long volume capable of storing longer telephoto lenses. You can choose to use both ICUs when you need to carry a lot of camera gear or just one when you need to prioritize pack space for outdoor gear. These two ICUs can be stacked with openings facing the bag’s back panel, or “hatch-backed” (F-Stop’s term), where one of the two ICUs faces upwards with contents reachable from the bag’s top opening. Two Small Pro ICUs are, for example, are the same size as a Large Pro ICU. This is the most common dual-ICU setup.Īnother thing to consider is the simultaneous use of multiple ICUs. For example, you might buy one that is the largest available ICU for your bag and a second smaller ICU that accommodates your “fast and light” setup – whatever that may be. It’s common for photographers to buy multiple ICUs. Which ICU is suitable for your F-Stop backpack? Using Multiple ICUs In Combination
