I only got paid thanks to shady check cashing venues on the north side.įortunately, I only worked there a month. It should have been a red flag that neither of my banks would let me deposit my paychecks from them (which came from some OTHER company, not f-stop), arguing that the checks were fraudulent. I, too, had the displeasure of working for f-stop out of the loft apartments it rented in downtown STL a few years ago. I can't think of any other company that operates with such complete disregard towards the customer. They will not get a dollar of my money going forward, unless they get bought out by someone who knows something about logistics (or is capable of learning about it over a span of 6-7 years) and customer service. If interested look at the General Gear forum on Fred Miranda, I have posted some observations and pics of my (very secure) tripod carry setup.Īs far as I am concerned, at this point F-stop does not deserve to exist as an ongoing business. I have used it for one outing now, and love it. I was so disgusted with the complete lack of customer orientation that I canceled my order as soon as I identified the Targhee as a viable option. Now their website shows a shipping estimate of "early spring" whatever that means. When I called to ask I was told that there is no estimated delivery date. Three months passed with not even an email from F-stop to let me know when the order will arrive.
F STOP GEAR PRO
In 2016 I ordered a Tilopa + Large Pro ICU in September with a promised delivery date in 4-6 weeks. It took forever to get it in 2010 but there were few alternatives at the time. It was expensive for what it is, even the bare shell, and don't get me started on the ICUs. I have been using the F-stop Loka since it first came out in 2010.
F STOP GEAR FULL
Couple that with a medium and large pro-style ICUs from Hong Kong for $25 each and you have a full featured camera carry system for $180, delivered with courteous on-time customer service within a week. The 2016 models can currently be had for around $130-$140, the newest models are $210 but frankly I think that for photo use they are not better. As a general purpose photo pack it is not as good, but as a hiking backpack it is better. With a few tweaks here and there you can attach a tripod cup for a central carry, it synches smaller than a Tilopa, can expand to hold more, carries weight FAR better, has more comfortable shoulder straps. Work on small or large teams that support each other.Not true, at least if your photography is mostly hiking oriented.
