Is there any way to strap a tripod onto the front of the Guru?
Posted by Colby Brown on May 23, 2011 at 7:03 PM
@John - The Guru utilizes our new Gate Keeper attachment system. The sets of compression straps you see on the front of the Guru are fully moveable, removable and customizable. There are attachment loops all over the pack, allowing you to mix and match the use of the straps to suit your liking.

Having said that, I would recommend attaching a tripod to the side of the pack with one or two legs inside the side pockets to increase stability. Dan Carr touches on this inside the link that I sent you covering his review of the pack.

Thank you, Colby! This is the pack I've been waiting for. :cool:
Please put me down for a green one w/ a small ICU and two extra sets of gate keepers.

Anyone know the details of the hatchback ICU? I can't seem to find any details except that it fits the Guru.
Posted by Colby Brown on May 25, 2011 at 9:45 AM
@Julie - The hatchback ICU is actually currently on hold. We are going back to the drawing board to work out some design issues in order to make sure every product we make lives up to our high standards.

@John - I have you marked down on the list.

Just to let everyone know, I just got an updated inventory list for our ICU's and we are almost completely out of the Medium ICU. You are still more then welcome to place and order for the Medium, but know that there might be a 30 day wait after this Group Buy ends until we can fulfill your order. If you have any questions, please just let me know.

Hi Colby,
I wonder if they ship to Perth, Australia and how much the shipping will cost?

Posted by Colby Brown on May 26, 2011 at 10:13 AM
@Mohammad - We actually have an Australian distributor that should have a few Guru's left. However this group buy discount is with F-Stop Gear directly and not any of our distributors around the world. You can get in touch with him here:

studio@rodthomas.com.au

His name is Rod Thomas

Colby, Thank you for quick reply I will check with Rod.
