Vanguard Backpack Camera Bag

[Handle] This is perfect if you want to throw a camera into any backpack or bag

[18 x 12.6 x 7"] I sometimes use this for a small camera bag but mostly use it as a general backpack.

[Yes] I own a zillion bags, mostly from camera specialists such as Wandrd, Vanguard, ThinkTank and others. This isn't in that class, but I promise you, it's a handy and fun bag. It holds a 100-400 zoom with full frame mirrorless attached (a tight fit, but it DOES work), a 2x tele, and a macro lens. You can also add some lens wipes, personal items, and a sweater if you need one. And there is also a laptop sleeve. The bag is comfortable to wear and attractive to look at. It's a great bag for a local trip to the zoo, botanical garden or some easy portraiture. For longer trips, it's a very useful backup bag (Lizzie Peirce uses it that way) for quick day trips into town or street photography. Highly recommend it.

[Zipper] I bought my Tamrac camera bag almost 50 years ago and have been looking for a replacement for the last year or more because I needed a larger bag. as my search progressed I realized one with wheels would serve me far better especially after my recent medical problems that left me having heart surgery and treatment on my lungs. I found the adds for the Vanguard Alta Fly 62T before these problems and I looked at all the reviews I could find and the only so-called negative remark I found was that it was to big to fit in the overhead luggage racks of some planes. No problem as I won't be getting on any planes. B&H had this camera bag as if memory serves me right I got the Tamrac bag those many years ago but I went to the hospital before I could order Vanguard Alta Fly 62T. So as soon as I was released I ordered the bag from B&H and they had my bag arriving in just a few days. It is massive! I love it and it holds everything I hoped it would and I have been pulling it with all my cameras and lenses around the house as I do my therapy and as soon as the 2 pound weight limit is lifted I will be happily walking around with my Vanguard Alta Fly 62T looking for picture opportunities. With its zippered mesh and safety straps I will never worry that I might accidently have a lens fall out. for me, this was a gift sent from Heaven on the wings of Vanguard. I thank B&H and Vanguard for making this great camera bag available for me. I love this bag!

[Yes] I bought this bag with the intention for using it with my newly bought mirrorless camera and as a secondary diaper bag (my wife already has a diaper bag but it occasionally gets quite heavy so this backpack is used to store my camera + share the load for the baby stuff). The ability to structure the inner compartments is extremely useful - I can comfortably fit my 13" macbook air, 11" ipad pro, a Fujifilm mirrorless with 1 zoom lens + 1 prime lens, toys, diapers, bottles, snacks etc. It is somehow not as spacious as the 20L Everyday Backpack / Backpack Zip but it is more than sufficient for my needs. It is also a great looking backpack.

[Zipper] I searched for and have used several different backpacks and this ALTA RISA 45 is the best I've owned. I was looking for a backpack that would fit my iPad Pro 12" and all my gear and that was less bulky than some. I don't hike with this backpack but rather travel through airports and personal travel. Pros: The design is slim and not clunky at all. The side reach-through is really nice. And I love the top compartment area as it holds a lot and can easily be accessed on a plane. You can also access the tablet from the top without having to lift the pack onto the plane seat. There's a small security pocket in the back that is handy for cash, passport, CCs and IDs. Plenty of storage space inside for my Sony ZV1, GoPros, Mics, cables, etc. The outside pocket is nice for expanding when I want to take my laptop and my tablet, which this will accomodate. Pockets everywhere which I also like. Cons: I don't care for the divider system in here. LowePro has this down and includes so many that I don't use all of them. But the Vanguard system isn't as intuitive. And I can't use my LowePro dividers with the Vanguard. The side tripod holder is decent but not the greatest. It's hard to get this right but I think it should accommodate a single monopod or tripod but the monopod doesn't fit that snug. And lastly there's not a lot of security like you see in the FlipSide or something like that. But the small rear pocket does the trick for my uses. Overall I'm extremely satisfied and will look at the Vanguard products when I need more in my kit. I wasn't paid for this and didn't receive this product in exchange for a review(but I'd like to learn how to get that deal!)

I purchased this for my Vanguard Alta Sky backpack. It is well made and adheres strongly to the inside of my pack. It is the perfect size to hold a 2-1/4 x 1 x 2-7/8 h battery container and my inhaler. I love that I know exactly where those items will be and the mesh top means most security people see what's in it without the need to open it up.

[24.5 x 14 x 12"] The Vanguard Alta Fly 58T Roller Bag is just what I have been looking for for years!� Top quality bag that holds everything I need for my photography.� It took almost 3 months to get here, but it is worth the wait.

[Zipper] I researched dozens of camera bags/watched YouTube Product reviews for all of them, and typically I'll go for the more expensive/higher-end product...HOWEVER, I kept coming back to the USA GEAR S17 bag primarily because of its design layout and style, and it just happened to be the most affordable one out of all of them! Once I received the bag, I was able to load my Panasonic GH5, 3 lenses, DJI Mavic Air & Controller, Zoom F1 & Shotgun Mic in just the main divided compartment. In the top/rectangular shaped compartment, I was able to neatly store all of my miscellaneous batteries, and all charger docks/cords for the gear listed above, with some room to spare. Additionally, my 15 inch Macbook Pro slides nicely in the dedicated laptop compartment. Often, when you have a camera bag loaded, there's a certain rigidity that occurs, causing the backpack to feel uncomfortablely firm, as if you're wearing a box on your back... Fortunately, this is not the case with this backpack, it is very comfortable to wear and feels very natural. I primarily shoot real estate property videos, and I love knowing that 90% of my gear is neatly condensed into a sleek backpack, and being able to just walk in and grab my bag and go is a refreshing feeling! USA Gear nailed it with the S17 design!

[Black] I bought a Vanguard roller bag to try something else. I've always used the Manfrotto roller 70 (I think is what it was called- it's discontinued) It's a beast of a bag. The Vanguard is nice but the fold up handle takes up a bunch of the interior space and the layout was a little... meh. Lid was floppy etc. However, Manfrotto is always solid. The Pro Light is like the little brother to my larger Manfrotto roller. It's perfect for my video gear- monitors, third camera, smaller lenses etc etc etc.
