The Kashmir is a first of its kind ultralight adventure camera pack designed specifically for a woman’s frame. This model features special shoulder straps to accommodate a range of bust sizes and a shorter frame for people with a compact torso. Part of f-stopgear's Ultralight series of shells, it tips the scale at only 1100grams. This saving in weight is achieved by using lighter materials (210D double ripstop nylon instead of 330D) without compromising on the durability or functionality of the pack. The Kashmir Ultralight daypack is the camera industry’s first product to acknowledge the huge contribution women make to outdoor photography.
ICU Compatibility
The Kashmir UL can gives the option of four different ICU's depending on how much camera gear you want to carry and how much of the main compartment you want available for other items like clothing, food or whatever it is you like taking on a shoot. Keep in mind that unlike the Mountain Series Shells, the UL shells don't feature side-pockets - only a top and front pocket, so there isn't much space other than that in the main compartment.
- Pair this shell with the Large Pro ICU to carry a serious amount of gear, including up to a 300mm f/4 or 400mm f/5.6 lens. This ICU leaves just enough space in the main compartment of the shell for an extra layer of clothing.
- Combined with a Medium Slope ICU, it can comfortably carry one or two bodies, 3 lenses and accessories while still leaving lots of space in the rest of the pack.
Multipurpose internal sleeve fits up to a 13” laptop.

We have a no-nonsense approach. If a product breaks due to a manufacturer defect, we will replace it without asking any questions. If we have any reason to believe that the product was put through unreasonably heavy usage, we will have to follow the manufacturer's standard warranty procedure.
Leofoto
The manufacturer offers a 10-year limited warranty on all products and we extend that warranty to our customers. Please read the below very carefully, so you understand your position when something breaks or doesn’t work ideally anymore.
It is critical to understand that this warranty only applies to factory faults and not to standard wear and tear. Tripods are subject to a lot of gray areas in this regard as tripods used outdoors, particularly in sand and sea water, are subjected to extreme wear and tear. We will e.g. replace the affected part of your tripod if a carbon tube snaps or cracks without much pressure applied to it or if the apex breaks. We will not replace your tripod or the affected part if e.g. a joint locks up due to sand or salt build up or if a hinge becomes corroded or stiff/floppy and unserviceable due to corrosion or salt build up.
In sum, if we see that you took good care of your tripod and something went wrong, we will go out of our way to fix or replace it for you. If we see that you dragged it through the mud (literally or metaphorically), then we are unlikely to fix/replace it for you. How you handle your tripod and take care of it, is all the difference between 3- or 20 years of service.
The best of tripods will not last longer than 2/3 years if used regularly in the sea, INCORRECTLY, and never serviced. Always make sure to extend the lowest leg section first, so you keep the joints out of the water/sand. Always rinse with freshwater after use in the sea, wipe down with a wet cloth, leave extended to dry and ENSURE YOU KEEP THE HEAD AND APEX DRY. If your tripod’s joints start feeling sandy/gritty, open them up, give them a proper clean and lubrication and fine-tune the tension on the joints.
If travelling on dirt roads, ensure that your tripod is in its carry-bag when not in use.
Your tripod will not take care of itself – it is up to you to do so. All our tripods ship with an info-sheet on taking care of your tripod. We also offer a full tripod disassembly and service for R1000, including shipping both ways.
