f-stop TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ backpack anthracite

f-stop TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ backpack anthracite, when your tours get longer

With the f-stop TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ in anthracite, you are clearly in the category of multi-day hikes, serious photo adventures, lots of gear. This backpack is designed for situations where a small shoulder bag would have long since given up, and you still want to be organized, comfortable, and reasonably relaxed on the go.

Volume, dimensions and weight, space for serious equipment

The TILOPA offers a volume of 50 liters and remains pleasantly light for its size at around 1.9 kg empty weight. The external dimensions are tailored to tours and travel:

• Volume: 50 l
• Weight: approx. 1.9 kg
• Height: 62.3 cm
• Width: 34.8 cm
• Depth: 28.4 cm
• Torso length: 39.5 cm (for a stable, body-hugging fit)

In short: large enough for camera, lenses, drone, clothing and small items, but still compact enough not to be completely in the way on hiking trails, in mountain huts or on the train.

DuraDiamond™ fabric, robust, lightweight and weather-resistant

The heart of the backpack is the exclusive DuraDiamond™ fabric. This material is noticeably stronger, at the same time lighter and significantly more weather-resistant than many standard fabrics typically found on outdoor backpacks. Rain, sleet, damp forest floor – the fabric handles it easily without giving up.

Since f-stop uses this fabric exclusively, you get a mix of durability and weight that you won’t find everywhere. Especially on longer hikes, when every gram saved counts, this makes a real difference.

Compatible with f-stop ICU inserts, your interior, your organization

The TILOPA 50L is designed so that you can flexibly equip it with the optionally available ICU inserts from f-stop. You can very specifically decide how much space is allocated to camera equipment and how much to clothing, provisions or outdoor gear.

The following ICU sizes can be used, individually or in combination:

• ICU Micro Tiny
• ICU Small Shallow
• ICU Small Pro
• ICU Medium Shallow
• ICU Medium Slope
• ICU Large Pro
• ICU XLarge Pro
• or suitable combinations of the sizes mentioned above

This allows you to configure the backpack completely differently depending on the tour: sometimes as a full-fledged photo backpack, sometimes more as a hiking backpack with a small camera unit.

Scope of delivery, what you get (and what you should plan separately)

Included in the box:

• f-stop TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ backpack in anthracite without ICU
• Note: the camera insert (ICU) must be ordered separately
• Compatible ICU models: see above and/or product images

Specifically, this means: you get the full backpack, but you choose the internal divider for your camera gear separately to match your setup. That’s one extra step at the beginning, but in the long run it results in a much better fit for your equipment.

Carrying system with BLOOM™ foam, comfort on long hikes

Especially when hiking with heavy photo equipment, the wheat is separated from the chaff. The TILOPA relies on a sophisticated carrying system with dual-density, algae-based BLOOM™ foam in the shoulder straps and hip belt.

• Dual-density BLOOM™ foam in the shoulder straps
• Padded hip belt with BLOOM™ foam for better load distribution
• Stable, body-hugging fit for multi-day hikes

The result: the backpack sits snugly against the body, the weight is noticeably better distributed between hips and shoulders, and you can tackle longer climbs without your shoulders burning right away. To put it casually, it feels less like a “wardrobe on your back.”

Removable side compression straps, flexible packing, secure fixation

On the sides you’ll find removable compression straps. These help you cinch the backpack down more compactly when it’s not fully loaded, or to attach additional gear such as tripods, trekking poles or sleeping pads on the outside.

• Side compression straps are removable
• More flexibility when packing and transporting bulky gear
• Stable fit even when only half full

If you don’t need them, simply remove them – less strap clutter, less snagging in undergrowth or on train doors.

Weather-resistant zippers, access even in bad weather

The woven-in, weather-resistant zippers are designed to protect your gear from moisture while still being easy to operate, even with gloves or wet fingers.

• Improved, weather-resistant zippers
• Black heat-shrink tubing on the zipper pulls for better grip in wet conditions
• Durable and optimized for outdoor use

Especially when you’re out in rain or snow, you’ll notice this small but crucial difference: you can open the backpack without endless fumbling, and your gear remains reliably protected.

T6 aluminum hardware, stable attachment points for outdoor demands

At critical carrying and attachment points, f-stop uses T6 aluminum hardware on the TILOPA. These components reinforce areas where a lot of tension and stress occurs, for example on straps or gear attachment points.

• T6 aluminum at particularly stressed points
• More stability when carrying heavy loads
• Longer service life under intensive use

Especially on hikes with heavy photo gear, when the backpack is regularly fully loaded, this hardware ensures that nothing stretches out or gives way prematurely.

External pockets, quick access to water, accessories and small items

The TILOPA offers several external pockets so you don’t have to open the entire backpack for every little thing.

• Side pockets for water bottles or tripods
• Front pocket for flat items, jackets or accessories
• Practical organization for things you need frequently

The front pocket is generously sized:

• Front pocket: approx. 25.4 cm x 45.72 cm / 16.51 cm x 11.43 cm (subdivided)
• Side pocket: approx. 15.24 cm x 38.1 cm

This way, water bottle, filter pouch, gloves or a thin sweater quickly find their place without you having to dig around in the main compartment.

Back panel organizer, order in the “quick access” area

On the back panel, f-stop has integrated a well-thought-out organizer. Especially on hiking and photo tours, when memory cards, batteries and small parts shouldn’t just be lying around loose, this really pays off.

• Back panel with 4 pockets with magnetic closures
• Padded pocket with magnetic closure for more delicate items
• Slip pockets for media cards and additional accessories

This way, everything that is small and important is neatly sorted and quickly at hand, without creating chaos in the main compartment.

Hypalon® front patch, extra protection exactly where it’s needed

On the front of the backpack sits a welded-on Hypalon® patch. It is deliberately made larger and welded directly to the DuraDiamond™ fabric to make the front section more robust.

• Welded Hypalon® patch on the front
• Increased protection against abrasion and mechanical stress
• Ideal when the backpack is frequently set down or dragged along rocks/stones

Especially on hikes in the mountains or on rough terrain, this is a real advantage, because the front naturally comes into contact with the ground or rock more often.

For hiking and photo adventures, a backpack for “really getting out there”

The f-stop TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ is clearly designed for hiking and outdoor photography. Multi-day tours, hut-to-hut trips, trekking with camera gear – that’s exactly what it’s made for.

You get a backpack that:

• offers enough volume for multi-day hikes
• securely holds your camera gear with compatible ICU inserts
• is highly durable thanks to DuraDiamond™ fabric and Hypalon® patch
• focuses on comfort with BLOOM™ foam and a well-thought-out carrying system
• features practical external and internal pockets for quick organization

So if you’re looking for a backpack that’s not just for “the occasional short walk,” but is truly intended for serious hikes with a camera setup, the TILOPA 50L DuraDiamond™ in anthracite fits that bill very well.
