VANGUARD ALTA Fly 58T DSLR Camera Backpack, 4 Wheel Spinner/Trolley

I am reviewing the Vanguard 62T. This is a spacious bag. It will not, however fit in airline cabins. Also, I am not affiliated with Vanguard in any way. I write reviews for buyers, not sellers.The Vanguard 62T is very well built. The fabric is heavy duty, but feels much smoother than the sandpaper feel of Cordura years ago. The zippers run smoothly. Better than any bag I've owned. The wheels are good quality, turn freely and are easily replaceable. The bag is fully padded, even the closure section has padding. I don't use a device when shooting away from my studio, but there is room for a laptop and tablet. The handles are very well placed and are secure. I especially like that there is a handle strap on the bottom for use when picking the entire bag up. Here is something that I have always found lacking in my other bags. Every cinch point for attaching a tripod, monopod or whatever you may want to attach to your bag comes with a tie-down strap. The pocket for tripod feet fit my Bogen 3021 BPRO (055) and there is a side pocket that will hold a shoot through umbrella, which I often use for outdoor shoots. The soft cases for my 24" softboxes which also get outdoor use have handles that fit over the handle of the 62T. The 62T shines with design forethought and execution.The inside of the bag came with the camera dividers installed. This made it easy to fit my gear. I simply put the gear in the bag, moved a divider to snug up what I put in there and done. A set of drone dividers is included with the bag. The padding is thick, plush and protective. There is also a security net that zips between your gear and the closure to prevent an accidental equipment spill and two security straps with clips to prevent the cover from opening fully.The 62T is a great bag, but for my use it isn't perfect. I shoot with a full frame DSLR with grip. The grip causes the camera to sit higher in the case and the hot shoe rubs against the net. If I don't put something between the net and hotshoe, the net won't last very long in my use. Also, it would have been good to have a number of small pockets for lens cloths, memory cards, and spare batteries, etc. sewn into the inside of the cover. The two memory card pockets are only large enough for a couple of cardsI'm currently using the bag with the net and security straps. Although I did once have an equipment spill while using my last bag, I think in time I'm going to get tired of using the net all of the time and the security straps are painful to use constantly. This isn't a big deal. The net can be unzipped and folded into the very bottom of the inside of the case and the straps can just be ignored. I'm sure there will be times when I want them, but for most use, maybe not. We'll see.So, I'm really pleased with the bag. I can get my camera, wide angle, 70-200, and 100-400mm lenses in there along with my speedlight, flash trigger, 4 sets of speedlight batteries, Rocket blower, a stack of lens filters, and the lens hoods for all of my lenses. Not perfect, but because of the excellent build quality and the thoughtful design, I give this 5 stars.

I know this wheeled pack is designed for professional photographers. It so happens it works extremely well for me as a solo IT support professional. For some time I've been looking for a pack with cubbyholes formed with dividers held together with velcro. This pack is the one. Everything stays in its place so I can easily find stuff. There's plenty of capacity, it's light for its size, and it's very functional. I love the spinners. I appreciate the thoughtful touches such as the sewn-in covers for the rear wheels should I decide to carry it, and the included bag cover to keep it dry when it is raining. I am extremely pleased with this pack, it's by far the most functional and useful field pack I've ever owned. The only way to improve it would be to offer a laptop compartment for larger laptops and same for my iPad. My current models fit, so no problem there, but the compartments are still a little snug. In sum, this pack was well worth the investment.

I had my doubts but it holds everything I need and more. The padding is nice and made of good quality material. If you have the money I would suggest the 4 wheel version but this one rolls good as well over a variety of terrain. Plenty of additional pockets and doubles as a regular suit case. Great value for your money..

This is a great case, it holds my Nikon D810, lenses, chargers, my HP Pavilion 15" laptop, and space for more. The wheels move great (2), and the extending handle as well as handles on the sides make it easy to handle. That's the good part. The bad is, it is too large for carry-on. So, you will need to check it in, and make sure all Lithium batteries are removed and placed in your carry-on. Or just buy a smaller Alta Fly case

Review of the 58T: Love this rolling camera backpack! You should know that It’s more of a rolling bag with shoulder straps then the opposite. I don’t think there is a better traveling camera bag with both wheels and shoulder straps out there.Pros:-The 4 wheels vs 2 on other bags I own make such a difference!-The pockets and dividers are well thought out and hold everything I need.- it’s very deep for a backpack which is great for fitting all my chunky gear and tall lenses.-zippers seem strong and durable.-the shoulder straps are pretty comfortable-camera dividers are all connected to a single piece insert that can be taken out for traveling without camera gear.Cons:-the waist strap isn’t padded and is not great. I won’t be using the strap at all. There is also not a good place to store the straps when not in use. They can be removed tho.-I don’t care for the placement of the tripod holder in the front of the bag and would prefer it to be on the side.-don’t think it would fit a 15in laptop in the computer pocket but not 100% sure.-backpack comfort is ok but not the best. I mainly roll it so it’s not a deal breaker.-when rolling, it seems to prefer being pushed or pulled head on instead of turned sideways and pulling/pushing it that way.Here is the list of gear it holds for me:-2 full frame canon cameras-3 medium sized lenses-Zhiyun Crane 2 (fits in side pouch of bag)-mavic 2 pro with controller-zoom h6 recorder w/ 2 attachable mics-rode video mic pro-manfrotto mini tripod-3 Tascam dr-10l’s-Apiture mini led light-sd card holder-3 nd filters-13” MacBook Pro-external hard drive-iPad-usb Battery bank-rain cover-extra batteries and all the chargers for the gear listed above.If your still reading by now your probably seriously considering this bag and to that I would say... GET IT! It’s not perfect but for what it is, I don’t think there is a better option out there. I wish it wasn’t so $expensive$ but think it was worth it after using it for a few months now. Hope this review helps u decide if it’s right for you.

The zipper kinked the first time I used this bag and will not open beyond the kink. This occurred the night before I left on a month long trip, and the zipper kinked in a second spot after a week. I reached out to the manufacturer and they said there is no warranty because I purchased through Amazon. I'm disappointed at the failed product and poor service. If the zippers were of adequate quality, I would give the bag a 5/5, but a bag like this can't have cheap zippers or the whole thing fails.

I love this travel camera case. It is very sturdy and the dividers are sturdy and will protect my camera gear. It is a very convenient way to bring your photography gear with you with this rolling bag.

Great quality

Muy buena construcción, recorrimos medio Nueva York, y sigue rodando como nueva

Very practical and useful. Holds two cameras with lenses. D850 with a 70-200 mm lens and a D500 with a 150-600 mm lens. Can put extra batteries and other cables easily in the bag. It’s very well padded for protection.
