Vanguard Backpack

Very nicely made bag which is always the case with vanguard bags from my experience of past purchases . This backpack is ideal for a micro four thirds outfit as there's ample room for a camera with lens and around five other lenses if their not the overly long telephoto type . The top pouch is perfect for your phone an air blower and cleaning clothes etc . Personally I use it for my olympus outfit as for that it's superb but it also doubles up as a fantastic birding bag for those days I just want to wander about with a pair of binoculars . It's the quick access that really seals the deal on this bag for me along with the supreme build quality and really nice green colour . All in all I'd recommend this backpack to anyone that wants a small well made bag that's just about the perfect size for quick discreet trips out and about . Not cheap but you get what you pay for as they say and this is worth every penny of its asking price .

For amateur and professional photographers or videographers, this bag is very well put together and comfortable to wear.Although small in size it's more than adequate for basic kit when traveling, will fit DSLR or mirrorles with 2 to 3 lenses, flash and a few other items, 10" - 12" tablet pocket etc.All easily accessible from top, side, or back.

Perfectly fine backpack. Could be better organised with the side pull out pockets being slightly flimsy. I don’t feel confident in carrying a heavy bottle of water in there for a day.Good for the price though, and comfortable when not too weighed down.

Nice quality bag ..but be warned its small.

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!

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.

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.

Small compact, ideal for short trips , hiking
