Vanguard Alta Sky 66 Reviews

Great back that gets the job done

By Ryan

The construction of this backpack suits my need for treks through trails and woodlands. I shoot with a 500mm telephoto lens and the setup is tailor-made for that application. I also appreciate the strapless carrier for the tripod.

Great Bag!

This is a great bag for its purpose. I use it to transport my Nikon Z9 and the Nikon Z 800mm PF lens. There is an extra (removable) piece of padding at the bottom of the bag. With that out, my lens, with the camera attached, will fit with the lens hood in the ready-to-go position. Opening the bag and getting the camera out is fairly quick. On occasion, I've attached a lens (in a lens case) to the side of the bag in case I needed a normal lens. Typically my Z 24-120. The bag is comfortable to wear. I haven't walked miles in it (yet) at one time, but for the short distances, it was fine. It has a decent amount of storage for small items. I'm 6' and have the adjustment set in the top position. It might be a tad short, as the waist belt is just above my waist in the back. Didn't seem to be a problem though. I also like the way this bag looks. My subjective opinion. Overall, I highly recommend this bag. It holds what I need and does so with comfort.
