Pro Small ICU

I purchased this with the hopes of fitting some of my camera gear into my waterproof backpack for some of our more extreme adventures. This bag is able to hold my 5D MIV body with the 70-200 and my 16-35 lenses as well as a few extras. It slides right into my backpack and I am ready to head out! The dividers are nice to be able to change around the position to accommodate different lenses. The reason why I got this ICU over the other option is because I can put my body in sideways with a long lens on it, like pictured in the Amazon photos. I also got the smallest one because I am just using it for back country adventures and I am tight on space. Very happy with my purchase and it has already survived a trip to Costa Rica and I was super happy with the performance.

I probably have the most niche of niche uses for this product, but it works. The f-stop small camera insert fits the Fisher and Paykel SteepStyle CPAP machine perfectly, then it all fits in the lower third of the Evergoods CTB35. Yes I know the machine comes with a travel bag, but it is way less than ideal. If you’re looking for a better travel solution for your F&P SleepStyle this is it. It probably work ok for camera gear too.

I just purchased an F-Stop Luka UL backpack. Like other F-Stop bags, you purchase the backpack and then you populate the backpack with various inserts such as an ICU. The F-Stop Luka UL which is 37 liters volume will take up to 2 Small Pro ICU's or 1 Large ICU. I ordered 4 of the Small Pro ICU's because I use them both for organization at home and for protection on the road. I am very happy with the quality of the F Stop ICU's and highly recommend them if they fit your use model. First, the quality of the ICU is very high and the ICU comes in a very nice bag - great packaging. The materials are high quality and appear water and dirt resistant. There is a carrying handle so you can easily pick it up and there are Velcro straps so you can attach it to the frame of an F-Stop backpack. The zipper has two zips each with a nice tassel and secure plastic grip. Inside, the ICU is wrapped with a light grey fabric that Velcro can stick to. There are enough Velcro dividers and the default is 6 compartments. The walls of the ICU are stiff and but the lid is a foam insert inside of the outside material (could be a bit stronger). Usage: The ICU is a box 8" x 12" and stands 7" high. For me, I bought 4 of the ICU's and I use colored handles to tell them apart. The lenses that stand vertically in my system are the Zeiss 21mm, Zeiss 18mm, Canon 100mm Macro, 17-40mm Zoom, Canon 24-105mm Zoom. I found that the Canon 70-200mm needs to lie in the long direction and takes up 1/2 of an ICU. Camera bodies fit nicely into the compartments as well (5D type). I have 4 of the ICU's because I would normally travel with 1 or 2 inside of the F Stop Luka UL backpack. And, it makes it easy to organize your lenses/flashed into the high use grab kit and the lower use lenses. I would generally have the 5D body, Canon 24-70mm f2.8, small flash, and a choice of a 70-200mm or the 11-24mm. All in a lunch box sized kit that doesn't weigh in at 25 lbs like the bigger backpacks. Just looking at those bigger backpacks gives me a back ache. So, in summary, compact, high quality, easy to organize, expandable by adding a second, lightweight, protective. All good.

Bought this to use with the Guru UL 25L pack and it works great. It's pretty snug to get in but it fits like a glove and stays put. Perfect for my 5d Mk iii plus 1-2 lenses and a bunch of accessories. Really well made product that integrates well with their bags. Definite thumbs up.

I liked the ICU itself but just a little awkward for my needs. I really wanted to like these ICU’s trying the medium shallow, small shallow and this small pro but they just didn’t quite work for my gear, being either too small or too big for my needs. These are on the more expensive side but solid design. Ended up returning all and going with the Lowepro Photo Sport 300 bag.

I used this to travel with a mirrorless camera body and 2 (12-24 and 24-70) lenses that I did not want to risk bag-checking. This is cushioned, slides onto a roller bag handle, provides dividers, and fits under airplane seats (qualifying as an “personal item”), and it left room for my feet as well.

The FStop ICUs are great to keep my camera kits tight and protected. The modular nature and various sizes are super helpful. I found that the small ICUs (both shallow and pro depth) fit perfectly in one half of a Yeti GoBox (they have a divider in them). That setup worked amazing on Grand Canyon. It's also easy to shuffle the ICUs to a pack or just have them out. The padding for the lid is removable which is great to take out for easier access when it is inside a protected pack or hard case. The small size is perfect for a mirrorless kit. I've also packed my Mavic 2 in the small ICU The pro size works great for a bigger DSLR.

I love this product. I travel a lot and always on a budget to make ends meet. I don’t check in bags especially not my equipment. So I have a backpack (carry on) with all my cloths/chargers/laptop and this small pro ICU is my “personal bag”. Works even on spirit. Fits a canon 5d3 with a 24L on it. 85L,35L,14L, (1)600ex, and a Ricoh grii point n shoot. Then after awhile of purchasing they contacted me to check if I was satisfied with the purchase (including a free lens wipe cloth!) awesome customer service. Will look into buying one of your back packs!

Le sac en lui même reste pratique mais il ne se transporte pas très instinctivement, pas autant qu'un sac à dos de photographe. Je trouves cet achat légèrement décevant.

Acquistato per riporre in sicurezza la mia attrezzatura all'interno dello zaino da trekking. Riesco a farci entrare tranquillamente: - Canon 6D mk II - Canon 16-35 f/4 - Canon 70-200 F/4 - DJI mini 2 - Radiocomando - 2 batterie extra - Busta in stoffa di sali antiumidità - Varie memorie SD Dopo anni di utilizzo inizia a mostrare segni di deformazione, ma la colpa è mia, che lo ripongo abbastanza disgraziatamente in zaini stracolmi con tende, sacchi a pelo eccetera. Acquisto top. Unica cosa: se avete uno zaino piccolo evitate: non ci starà e anche se ci stesse non ci starebbe altro. Normalmente lo uso all'interno di un Ferrino Finisterre 48L, che è bello capiente, e come larghezza ci sta al pelo. Per lungo sono riuscito a farlo stare in un Deuter Futura 26L, ma non ci sta praticamente altro. In un Ferrino Finisterre 38L è un'impresa perché sei sempre lì a smontare lo zaino, mente nel 48L ci sta nell'apertura in fondo allo zaino (sbilanciando abbastanza il tutto, siccome il carico più pesante non dovrebbe stare in fondo). Possibilità di agganciare una cinghia per portarlo a tracolla (per brevissimi tratti, secondo me). Ottima la maniglia frontale, che mi permette di tirarlo fuori da spazi stretti in un secondo. Buone le imbottiture, la parte frontale è rigida e si presta bene a essere quella più esterna, più esposta agli ambienti. I velcri, nel tempo, danno segni di cedimento, ma tengono salda l'attrezzatura. E comunque, f-stop significa qualità.

Great insert for Deuter Trail 30!

Conosco e uso f-stop per il materiale fotografico e non si può dire nulla sulla protezione che offre e sulla qualità (e durata) dei materiali. L'acquisto è perfettamente in linea con il marchio, appunto costoso ma alquanto efficace.

Ho preso lo zaino fotografico da 37 litri ajna f-stop che aveva la borsa media, per le mie esigenze era enorme per cui ho preso questa. L'altra borsa la tengo per ritirare tutta l'attrezzatura a casa e questa l'ho messa nello zaino che mi porto dietro quando vado in giro a fare foto. E' originale e la qualità dei prodotti f-stop per me è indiscutibile, costano ma sono belli sia esteticamente che dal punto di vista pratico. Lo consiglio.
