f-stop AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ Backpack Essentials Bundle - Cypress Green

f-stop AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ Backpack Essentials Bundle, Cypress Green for ambitious outdoor photography

Imagine standing somewhere in the middle of nowhere early in the morning, fog still hanging in the valley, the air cool, and you don’t have to think for a second where your camera, lenses, rain cover and water bottle are. The f-stop AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ backpack in Cypress Green is made exactly for those moments. A hiking backpack clearly designed for photo and video use, but just as relaxed on city trips, weekend tours, or as carry-on luggage on a plane.

Essentials Bundle: Everything you really need

With the f-stop AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ Essentials Bundle you get a well thought-out set that’s ready to go right away, without lengthy add-ons:

• 1 x AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ backpack in Cypress Green
• 1 x f-stop Raincover Large for additional weather protection
• 1 x ICU SLOPE Medium for flexible, padded internal organization of your camera gear

This gives you a coordinated system right from the start: rugged and tour-ready on the outside, modular and safe for your delicate gear on the inside.

Robust DuraDiamond™ material for real outdoor use

The AJNA uses DuraDiamond™ material, developed specifically for tough everyday outdoor use. It’s lightweight yet highly resistant to abrasion and the elements. Rain, spray, dust – the backpack usually shrugs it off with ease.

Weather-resistant zippers are also used, including woven-in zippers that are significantly more robust and durable than typical coil zippers. That may sound technical at first, but out in the field it’s the difference between “everything’s running smoothly” and “zipper jams in the middle of a shoot.”

Well-considered dimensions and carrying comfort for long hiking days

• Volume: 37 liters, ideal for day hikes, weekend trips or light multi-day tours
• Weight: approx. 1.8 kg, very comfortable for a full-featured photo hiking backpack
• Height: 53.34 cm
• Width: 33 cm
• Depth: 25.4 cm
• Torso length: approx. 36.5 cm, suitable for many body sizes in the typical outdoor range

These dimensions are deliberately chosen so that the AJNA works both for hiking and for travel. It is carry-on compatible with many airlines, which is a real advantage when flying with lots of camera gear. You don’t have to check your equipment, but keep it in sight – literally.

Carrying system with aluminum frame and BLOOM™ foam

Carrying comfort is where things get serious: the integrated aluminum frame ensures that the weight of the backpack is properly transferred to your hips. This relieves your shoulders and back, especially when you’re out for several hours or on steeper hiking trails.

The shoulder straps and hip belt use dual-density BLOOM™ foam made from algae. This foam adapts comfortably, provides support without pressure points, and remains comfortable even on longer tours. A small detail that becomes very noticeable after a few hours of hiking.

For comfortable carrying, it’s recommended not to exceed a total gear weight of about 12 kg or 27 lbs. Technically you can often go higher, but we all know: just because you can doesn’t mean you want to carry it on your back all day.

Internal organization with ICU SLOPE Medium and further options

The ICU SLOPE Medium included in the Essentials Bundle is a modular, padded insert that you can flexibly adapt to your camera gear. Whether DSLR or mirrorless camera, one or two additional lenses, drone or audio setup – you can adjust the dividers so that everything sits securely and is still quickly at hand.

In general, several ICU variants are suitable for the AJNA backpack, depending on the extent of your gear:

• Shallow Medium, for rather flat setups or smaller bodies
• Slope Medium, as included in the bundle, with a rising shape for more flexibility
• Pro Large, for more extensive pro setups with multiple bodies and large lenses

This way you can basically “reconfigure” the backpack depending on whether you’re traveling light or bringing the full kit.

Optimized for hiking, travel and short adventures

The AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ clearly belongs in the realm of hiking and outdoor photography. At the same time, it’s so compact and cleverly designed that it’s excellent for short adventures and travel. Carry-on compatible, robust enough for overhead bins, yet with a carrying system you’ll appreciate even on longer trails.

On the side you’ll find mesh pockets that hold a 32oz or 1-liter Nalgene bottle. That sounds trivial, but anyone who’s ever tried to cram a big bottle into a too-tight side pocket knows how annoying that can be. Here it just fits. In, out, done.

Improved organization: pockets, lid and back in detail

Compared to older backpack generations, the AJNA has improved organization and storage features. This applies to the lid pockets as well as the areas on the back and in the interior.

You have separate compartments for small items, cables, memory cards, filters, snacks and personal belongings. So you don’t have to throw everything into one big “chaos pocket”, but can sensibly organize your gear. Especially on the go, when things need to move quickly, good structure pays off: you spend less time searching and more time shooting.

Hardware made from T6 aluminum and high-quality plastic

Critical carrying and attachment components on the AJNA are made from a combination of T6 aluminum and robust plastics. This ensures stability at the points where there is particularly high tension and stress, such as the attachments for shoulder straps, hip belt and external mounting options.

The result is a backpack that doesn’t feel “soft” or unstable even when fully loaded, but sits firm and controlled on your back. Especially on narrow paths or when scrambling over rocks, this is a real safety and comfort factor.

Weather protection on the go with f-stop Raincover Large

Even though the DuraDiamond™ material and the zippers already provide a lot of weather protection, the f-stop Raincover Large included in the bundle gives you an extra layer of security. In heavy rain, snowfall or very wet conditions, you simply pull the cover over the backpack and reduce the risk of moisture getting inside.

Especially on longer hikes where you can’t just duck into a café, such a rain cover is worth its weight in gold. Your camera gear stays dry, and you can focus on finding subjects instead of the next shelter.

Cypress Green: Discreet yet stylish in the field

The Cypress Green color is deliberately understated. It blends well into natural environments, doesn’t appear too loud and is therefore ideal for nature and wildlife photography where you don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to yourself. At the same time, the backpack looks modern and high-quality, so you can easily wear it in the city or on business trips without looking like you’re on an expedition.

Conclusion: A reliable companion for photo hikes and travel

All in all, the f-stop AJNA 37l DuraDiamond™ Backpack Essentials Bundle, Cypress Green is a very well-balanced package for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, enjoys hiking and wants to transport their camera gear safely, in an organized way and comfortably.

You get a robust carrying system with aluminum frame and BLOOM™ foam, a flexible interior with ICU SLOPE Medium, practical organization pockets, weather-resistant materials and a matching rain cover included. Plus the carry-on-friendly format that makes traveling noticeably more relaxed.

If you’re looking for a backpack that won’t give up after the third tour, but will accompany you for many years on trails, in cities and on journeys, then this Essentials Bundle is a very solid, almost calmly reliable choice.
