Vanguard Alta Sky 45D Reviews

Holds Z9 perfectly

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-06-13

Z9 with 50 f1.2 and an extra lens is a bit heavy/awkward with sling type pack on a hike. Wanted a comfortable walking/hiking backpack that gave easy, quick access to the pro size body, and would hold a few extra lenses etc., without being too heavy or bulky. Works perfectly. Very well designed and can comfortably carry a bit of weight.

The perfect all-rounder

As a landscape photographer, I had been on the hunt for a bag that was comfortable, relatively light-weight, and flexible enough to allow me to bring along all of my equipment for quite a while. My search ended with this bag. It is well padded, with good ergonomics, and has enough storage for my Nikon Z7, all 3 of my trinity zooms, my glass filter set, a tripod, as well as a DJI Mini 2, controller, spare batteries, and a landing pad. This bag really does it all! Very underrated and truly the only bag that has been able to do all of that for me!

Will it fit under airline seats?

Will it fit under airline seats?
Asked by: Sharon
Different planes have different requirements. I would recommend calling the airline and telling them this bag measures 19.5 x 12.25 x 9" and see if the plane you are taking it would fit under the seat.

question

Liter size of 45D?
Asked by: Sean A.
I would have to say, I have not seen camera bag volume ever listed in any manner. Here are the exterior dimensions. By minor subtraction of each dimension, you can ascertain the interior dimensions and if you wish to calculate it, a rough idea of the volume in liters. 12.25 x 9 x 19.5 / 31.11 x 22.86 x 49.53 cm

what waist size does the waist strap fit. I am a petite female and with less than a 30 inch waist find that many backpacks at the tightest setting are still too loose?
Asked by: Michelle
From testing with one of the bags at the store, at its tightest/the shortest extension, the waist straps measured a circumference of 75cm / 29.56" and its longest/loosest, it measured 166cm / 65.3". These measurements were done with a measuring tape, but could be off a few centimeters/fractions of an inch.
