I travel for work, and need a carry on backpack ...

I travel for work, and need a carry on backpack that can fit under a seat, carry a laptop with accessories and moderate camera system. My idea choice would carry all of it on the plane, except tripod. After work when travelling I could leave laptop at hotel and transition to a camera bag. Most bags only serve one need well. How is the 51D for this purpose?
Asked by: Ray
This bag will not fit under the airline seat.

question

Hello. Will this bag fit my 17 laptop? Dimensions are 42 x 29 x 2,8 cm, or 16.5 x 11.4 x 1,1 inches.If not, which is the smallest Vanguard carry on luggage it would fit? As I understand it would fit the Alta Sky 53, but hopefully there is a smaller bag that would fit my laptop. Otherwise maybe I have to switch laptop. ;-) Thanks.
Asked by: Jan S.
You have the largest of laptops. Therefore a large bag is needed. This one for example, it is rated for holding a 17 laptop. Vanguard Alta Sky 53 Camera Backpack (Dark Gray) B&H # VAALTASKY53. However, it is a very large bag. If you do change to a 15 laptop, the 51D would be a good choice.

Does the main panel that opens to access gear ...

Does the main panel that opens to access gear easily stay open, or do you need to keep holding it open while loading/unloading gear? The Lowepro ProTactic will lay open on its own, which makes loading/unloading easy. I'm trying to compare the two.
Asked by: Jerry
If you fully unzip it, the flap will stay open.

How tall is the main compartment. Looking to fit a D850 and 500pf mounted which is 15" with the hood and 13" with it reversed.
Asked by: B
The interior main dimensions are 12 5/8 x 7 7/8 x 20 1/8" We would say that the main compartment is about 15" high or long. We have found that in the long run, it is better to pack the lens with the hood reversed. This not only saves space, it minimizes the possibility of the hood mount being damaged or cracked.
