Vanguard Dslr Camera 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.

[Rolltop] This is definitely not a carry all DSLR backpack, however if your looking for a safe, functional, inexpensive, and high durability backpack. THIS IS IT. I am an amateur photo/video enthusiast and this backpack holds what I need, and is very sturdy. There is more than adequate padding and I appreciate that its not black like 90% of camera backpacks and it doesn't look like a tech bag. I personally wanted a camera bag with no front or side access so that my gear would only be accessible next to my back so for me thats a bonus. It comes with a few features that you wouldn't necessarily expect for a $40 backpack like a rain cover stored in the very bottom pouch, plus a chest and waist strap. If your looking to spend very little and don't have a ton of gear this is a great bag. I have no worries about the safety of my gear.

[Yes] It's a basic backpack but it does it's job well. There's room for one full-frame mirrorless or DSLR camera and two lenses. Top compartment is good for carrying snacks or accessories.

[-0.5 to +18 EV] So far it is everything I could want in a DSLR camera

Well made, well-padded; used to protect DSLR w/grip inside cheap, plain-looking 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.

[Yes] I have a few photo backpacks--the F-Stop Loka UL, the Vanguard Veo Active 46 and now the Lowepro PhotoSport 24L. Each fulfills a different function, though I have used all for hiking with different kit. The PhotoSport is by far the most comfortable to wear and its flexibility for carrying the camera is outstanding. It is a bit small in the camera compartment, but perfect for those times that you want to only carry one camera and a couple of lenses. It is my go to for day hiking with basic gear and a few extraneous essentials.

[0.1 lb] When I couldn't find my release plate for my Vanguard 233AP tripod, I panicked! Especially when I realized my tripod is no longer available. My release plate from B&H fit my tripod and camera perfectly! Nice and snug, and easy to put on my camera. My fears were unfounded! The price was good too. My only issue is that it took so long to get it! Took over a week before it was delivered!
