F-Stop Gear - Ajna 37 - Fotorucksack im Test

I nearly went for the Lotus 32L but am glad I didn't as it would have been too small.
I can't help but compare this backpack with the one it replaces: my old backpack is smaller in dimensions but somehow holds more than the Ajna. I'll probably need to go for a Tilopa in the future because once I have the Pro L ICU in it, there is virtually no extra space at the top. Just enough for a monitor, follow focus and some spare cables. That said, I can fit a compact cinema camera plus Canon R5C with 4 full frame ciné primes and one photo zoom in the pack, which is fantastic. When I can get away with one less lens, I can add a sound recorder in its place.

My old bag had a full width padded pocked with near full height side zip that I could put a DJI RS3 pro in no problem. The Ajna doesn't have this feature, which is a shame.

However the Ajna's build quality is way better than what I had before. It's very sturdy, and I think the zips will outlast my old bag's by many years. The magnetic flap pouches on the inside of the back opening are fabulous for memory cards and the like.

For me the fit is good as long as I slacken off the shoulder straps. For people much over 1.8m you may find the back a bit too short for the hip/waist belt to take load on your hips.

Now looking forward to getting out on skis for a shoot with this bag.
