VANGUARDBackpack

Cons:- smell (it's been 3 weeks and it's still there- when opening the back cover, they bend and it's hard to reach the things in the bottom of the backpack- would have a couple more pockets- chafed armpits- stiff (this is both a minus and a plus)pluses- narrow- sits comfortably on the back but chafes (probably due to my short height of 154 cm)- Nice side pockets for the tripod. There are two of them. On one side I insert a 1.5 litre water bottle, fits perfectly)- stiff (this is both a minus and a plus)

So I purchased this as a secondary bag, As the one I currently have is amazing but just massive for everyday use.This vanguard product itself is made of high grade material, it feels sturdy and secure and has great padding to protect the gear.I genuinely would have no worries in keeping my gear within this backpack***But***The internal dimensions they have stated has to be incorrect.The first picture is the bag with my A7r3 and a Sony 35 zeiss lens attached. You can clearly see it does not fit unless I change out all the sections and remove some too.The second image shows 2 x lensesOne being a Sony 12-24The other a Sony 85GMAs you can see from the images both protrude out past the zip liner.The fourth image shows how the bag will not close unless I push the back panel down.The 5th image shows that I had to move the entire upper section of padding in order to fit the body and a few lenses, hence why it has now curved.The last picture is the advertised picture and as you can see it most definitely does not match up with what has actually been supplied. As I have the same gear they have used in the advertised image.So either the internal dimensions are incorrect or the photo is of false advertising.NoteI'm a massive fan of Vanguard stuff as the quality is amazing. On this occasion I am dissatisfied with the size of this bag which is the 37br but have purchased the bigger one to this which is the 47br so hoping that will be spacious enough for travel use

Got this to go on a trip but couldn’t fit everything I needed. My other photo backpack is larger and too large to take on the plane. I bought this and it took my kit it was just a little bit too small to pack a jacket inside. But it’s well made and I’d recommend it someone who has a smaller kit.

So purchased this camera bag after hearing good reviews about the companyTruth be told it does exactly what its set out to do- Very good quality materials used, especially the zips- 3 different ways of carrying the bag (Super convenient)- though out small pockets all around the bag- and off course the main compartment is relative spacious (but not deep if that makes sense). it holds my Canon R6 with multiple primes standing but anything like a 24-70 or 70-200 will need to lay flat.Even with the camera and 4 different primes and accessories its still got space at the top for your daily essentialsthe ONLY problem I have is the straps are not padded enough as well as not wide enough so when you carry heavy gear for long distance it may be uncomfortableIn black it really looks stealthy and smart in my opinion.

Purchased for my DSLR kit for shooting soccer matches. It will hold a canon 6d with an attached 24-70 on the main compartment, and in the top compartment I keep my tamron 70-200 lens in a neoprene lense pouch. Also on the main compartment I've room for lens hoods, a 50mm prime and batteries. There is side access so I can take off one shoulder strap and swivel the bag around, and get quick access to the 6d with 24-70 lens attached for quick shooting situations. It's a great comfortable bag for a smaller news or sports shooting kit, or if you were on a smaller mirrorless system I think you can fit way more kit in. For me this is perfect, it's small and agile and good for city shooting or hitting the pitch. Purchased at a big discount, which is great as the bag is made form excellent materials and seems very well constructed. Would recommend unless you have a bigger DSLR shooting kit that mentioned above.

Comfortable little rucksack. I use it to carry two Olympus em1 bodies with 17mm and 12-40 fitted in the bottom section and a couple of small spare lenses and carry straps in the top, I don't need it for much else (I have a large Manfrotto for when I need the kitchen sink). One useful feature are the little zip out pockets, one either side, that will take the leg of a small travel tripod ( there are straps both sides to secure the top of the tripod).It's well made and looks like it will last, time will tell of course.

For years I have searched for the perfect camera bag. Not too big, not too small. Room for camera, a couple of lenses, cleaning gear,spare batteries, tripod, folding umbrella, small first-aid kit, water bottle, waterproof jacket, baseball cap...you know, enough stuff for a good day's photography. Oh, and it must have quick side access and main access against my back. Room for my tablet would be nice, and perhaps a couple of maps, and what about a rain cover? ... and, above all, it must be comfortable for long hikes. Impossible, you say? I used to think so (and I have a collection of five other unsuitable camera back-packs to back me up). Not any more, my friends. This Vanguard VEO Select 45L back-pack is IT! And did I mention, it looks super cool as well 😄

I got the green one which is lovely. The size is perfect for travel if you’re bringing a couple of lenses. There’s a pocket for iPads/ tablets/ documents. The top part also provides space for personal stuff. All dividers are attached with Velcro so you can design the internal space to your liking. Love the side access for the camera. So convenient!
