## Overview

The Vanguard Alta Sky 45D is a premium 22-liter camera backpack designed for professional photographers and content creators. It features multi-access compartments for quick gear retrieval, fits a 13" laptop and tablet, and adapts effortlessly between camera, drone, and personal gear. Built with ergonomic support, weather-resistant materials, and smart organization, it ensures your equipment stays protected and accessible during any shoot or adventure.

## Description

The Alta Sky 45D is a dynamic backpack that sets a new standard for adaptable carrying and working solutions. It offers versatility combined with reliable gear protection like never before. Featuring innovative 1/3-2/3 division the larger compartment can be fully accessed from the rear, quickly reached from the side, or separately opened from the top, while the smaller compartment enjoys quick individual opening from the bottom front. The multitude of dividers and access points leave you the choice of just how much professional gear and how much personal gear to carry. Maximum capacity can fit up to a Pro DSLR with attached lens (up to 70-200mm f/2. 8), 2-3 lenses, a flash, and accessories in the top 2/3 compartment and a CSC (compact system camera) with additional lens in the bottom 1/3 compartment. If carrying less gear one can easily turn this backpack into a day pack or hiking backpack, deciding which separate access point is for photo gear and which is for personal or hiking gear. Secure rear compartment protects up to a 13” laptop and can also fit a tablet in the additional padded sleeve (note that double usage is only possible for some laptop + tablet combinations). organize all other gear and personal essentials exactly where you need them; either secured in an organizer pocket, or on hand at any given moment in a slip-in pocket. Stay hydrated with two large side pockets for water bottles. Link, hang, and sling on anything you can imagine using the multitude of straps, loops and innovative connection features integrated into the surface of the backpack. Designed to carry heavy gear loads for extended periods of time, we set the bar for comfortable carrying at a new high. Our advanced ergonomic back and harness system features a well-padded breathable 3D back, uniquely shaped easy to adjust shoulder straps that perfectly contour to your back and torso, adjustable sternum strap, and well-padded supporting waist belt.

Review: Premium Build Quality, Excellent Comfort, and Outstanding Value - I've used quite a few camera backpacks over the years, and the VANGUARD Alta Sky 51D has been a pleasant surprise. After spending considerable time with it, I believe it offers an excellent combination of storage capacity, comfort, durability, and overall value. While there are certainly more expensive camera backpacks on the market, this one delivers many of the same premium features at a much more affordable price. The first thing that stands out is its size and versatility. With a 32-liter capacity, this isn't a small daypack, but that's exactly what makes it so practical. It easily accommodates a DSLR or mirrorless camera, multiple lenses, a drone, batteries, chargers, filters, and other photography accessories, while still leaving room for personal items. The dedicated 15-inch laptop compartment is another welcome feature for photographers who like to edit on the go or travel with a computer. One of my favorite features is the multi-access design. Being able to reach different sections of the bag without completely opening the main compartment makes changing lenses or retrieving equipment much faster and more convenient, especially when shooting outdoors or while traveling. Comfort is another area where this backpack excels. The shoulder straps are thick, well-padded, and very comfortable, while the back panel provides excellent support and airflow. Even when the bag is fully loaded with camera gear, the weight is distributed evenly, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. Long photography sessions or full-day trips are much easier with a backpack that's designed with ergonomics in mind. The interior padding deserves special mention. The padded dividers are thick and provide excellent protection for camera bodies, lenses, and other delicate equipment. I never felt concerned about my gear shifting around inside the bag, and the padding is more than sufficient to protect your equipment from the bumps and knocks that come with everyday travel. Combined with the sturdy construction, it gives you confidence that your camera gear is well protected wherever you go. The material quality is also impressive. The fabric feels durable and well-made, giving confidence that it will withstand regular use. Although the backpack is advertised as water-resistant, I was pleased to see that Vanguard also includes a rain cover for added protection during heavier rain. One specification I wish the manufacturer provided is the exact type of fabric used, along with its denier rating, as those details would make it easier to compare durability with other premium camera backpacks. The craftsmanship is excellent throughout. The stitching is clean and consistent, there are no loose threads, and nothing about the bag feels cheaply made. The zippers operate smoothly, the dividers are sturdy, and the overall construction reflects careful attention to detail. Everything feels solid and designed for long-term use. Considering the price, I think this backpack offers exceptional value. It competes very well with several higher-end camera backpacks that cost significantly more. While premium brands may offer a few additional refinements, I never felt like I was sacrificing quality by choosing this model. I highly recommend the VANGUARD Alta Sky 51D to photographers looking for a spacious, comfortable, and well-built camera backpack. Whether you're carrying camera equipment, a drone, or both, this backpack provides excellent organization, reliable protection, and outstanding comfort. For the price, it's one of the best values I've found in a camera backpack, and I would not hesitate to purchase it again.
Review: Perfect fit and comfort - I originally purchased the Alta Sky 53, great bag, just to much space. I stepped down to the Alta Sky 49 and for the gear I have, it’s a perfect fit (see picture). So what’s In the bag? I have a Nikon D3400 with a AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm attached. Also seen here are a mid zoom, Nikkor 18-55mm and a Nikkor AF-S 35mm. The super is zoom is a Tamron 150-600mm. The compartments are easily adjusted to fit your gear, your way. The inside padding is thicker than other camera bags I have had in the past, as well as the outer walls. There is still plenty of room for some future growth. The overall size of the bag keeps it above the “Belt Line” (I’m 5’10” with a slender build). The shoulder straps are well padded and will keep a long hike comfortable. Water bottle on the side fits my Thermos (copy right name) snug, so no sloppy moving. Side note: the water bottle actually helps to offset the weight of the super zoom, keeping that center line balance. The center of the back tripod holder works like a charm and helps to keep the center of gravity. With the added security of a very well padded waist belt and an upper mid chest strap (not padded), no matter the terrain, it’s not going sideways on you. All of the straps; shoulder, waist and mid chest, can easily be adjusted on the fly. I knew I would love this bag once I got the right size and fit for me and my gear. Honestly, I have never owned a better bag or one so well constructed. I’m looking forward to putting some miles on this one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did any of you travel with it as a hand luggage?**
A: The product dimensions are larger than the allowed dimensions for most major airlines.  I ordered this item in order to measure it myself to make sure.  It is being returned since it is too large.  The dimensions are 23X15X11.  Larger than United's 22X14X9 and also KLM's 21X14X10.  Didn't want to test this in line to board and being told I have to check it.

**Q: Why is the 51 the cheapest if it's larger than the other ones?**
A: I am not 100% sure, but I assumed that there is not much of a demand for the 51 since it is so large, so the 45D sells for more since it is more desirable. They are awesome bags, but they are very large. I purchased the 45D and it was so big I ended up returning it. I was thinking it would be around the size of an average backpack, but this thing was huge. So, I can only imagine how big the 51 is. If you need the storage space though, it is a very well built and durable bag. Has a very stiff shell and seems like it would stand up to the test of time. I wish they had a smaller version, because I think all of Vanguard's equipment is top notch, but I ended up getting a Lowepro that better fit what I needed.

**Q: Does the canon 600mm f4 is l fit in this pack with the hood on, and the camera attached as well? thanks**
A: Yes, with the hood reversed. It's a very nice bag.

**Q: How will the rain cover fit the bag with a tripod or drone attached to it?**
A: It will not. The rain cover just fits over the backpack. So, if you have a tripod bulging out the top & side of the backpack, the rain cover will NOT cover the tripod. If your drone is on the inside, you are fine. BUT...
same thing, IF it is bulging out the back, the the backpack might become too big for the rain cover to cover over the backpack. You could go to Walmart or order thru Amazon some spray on waterproof "scotchgard" & spray the outside of the backpack & make it water repellent. But that will NOT help the drone or the tripod.
