VANGUARD ALTA FLY 55T DSLR Camera Backpack, 4 Wheel Spinner/Trolley, Black

While I don't use this as a regular backpack while hiking, it is invaluable to me for air travel. It holds my Nikon D850 with Sigma 150-600 lens attached (turning the lens hood backward) plus a second camera (Nikon D7200), an extra 18-300 lens, and accessories like cords and cards. It also holds a few travel essentials such as contact lens solution and other 4 oz liquid bottles, gloves, and light clothing change. As a small person, being able to wheel my camera case through the airports and into and out of hotels is almost essential!

I have some smaller backpacks that aren't big enough. They resulted in always needing to bring two, which wastes carry on items for flying.I have a larger backpack for carrying everything I need but it is a pain in the neck and back, literally.This backpack is the best solution I've found. The 55T definitely fits in all carry on overhead storage, domestic and international, with the maximum amount of space for gear inside. It rolls great. And for the rare walk on uneven ground, I just pull the straps out and use as backpack. 98% of the time I'm rolling it though and it makes travel so much better. Great quality too. After 6 or 7 backpacks, this is #1

My wife and I were commissioned to photo and video a wedding on a cruise ship in Juneau, Alaska.. I needed something to carry the basic equipment list on the airline then to a cruise ship and then into town and funeral Alaska.. this bag worked perfect! I was able to take it through the airport with ease and get on and off the ship with no problems...As you can see in the review photo, I was able to pack a lot of equipment in this one bag... You're definitely was maxed out but it did the job for what I needed.I look forward to taking this bag on many more adventures and years of reliability..

I liked the actual bag and all of its features , however, the main purpose for my purchase was for its mobility. Unfortunately, after second day use, the handle button got stuck and I was unable to slide the handle up. The lenses in my bag were heavy and I did not expect to have to carry the bag like a backpack that day. I was able with someone who had a tool, to release the button, however the button got stuck again. A friend of mine also ordered the bag and said that her handle slides up and down without stabilizing. This bag is not worth the hassle and I am sending it back and expect a refund!

Good for traveling, not for a hike!Well built with good zipper, no room for laptop, tablet Okay, straps are unmanageable if it need to be on roll, comes out very often.

This is a really small pack, when they say it fits in any luggage allowance they are talking like island hopping around the Bahamas or through the Alaskan wilderness in tiny prop planes or something. It's about a third of the size of what you can carry on an average US domestic flight. You won't be able to carry everything for even probably a week or two trip. But you can carry specific things for different outings. I was going to return it and get something bigger but then I decided that I'll just be more selective and reconfigure the entire pack for each specific outing. In truth you usually don't need everything for one outing anyway. Just decide what you really need reconfigure all the internal panels to work with your outing.You can take your telephoto lens or some smaller drone stuff, but not both. You may have to leave your flash at home if you really don't need it, you may have to leave your separate video camera at home, or your GoPro stuff, and just pick and choose what you really need. I think the style of backpack is better to have a smaller size probably that you can still carry easily like a backpack, but then it's kind of weird to have wheels on anything that you've lugged through the wilderness on your back. And it's weird too have a backpack in places where you can usually roll it. But it's cool to have something you can roll in airports and hotels, and then also just pack through the wilderness. But it's really small, you're still going to need another bag for even a single change of clothes or any sort of toiletries or anything. It's kind of a bare minimum pack, If you pack a change of clothes and some basic toiletries, you could probably take like a camera and one other thing or something. This bag is so small it could probably count as your personal item that you bring along with your regular carry-on bag. The one major downside is just a lack of extra pockets and no real expandability or stretchiness and if you fill it too full you can see the teeth skipping on the zipper in several places as you zip it up. I feel the zipper needs to be a lot stronger. It's not made as well as a Swiss gear backpack and doesn't have nearly the storage capacity and pockets that swiss gear backpacks have, and even if you pack it full the designers seem to have made sure it's still going to fit in the overhead compartment of some little prop plane flying into a remote Colombian jungle so that you still have enough room for all of your cocaine.

Liked the construction and materials used to make this backpack. Convertible to roller travel bag for airline travel. Fits easily withing most airlines as a carry on. Held my Canon 6d Mk II with four lenses (largest was my tamron 35-150mm) and a flash with accessories. And I manage to throw in a jacket during my winter holiday travelAnother plus is that the camera compartment is removable like in the video. So it doesn't solely have to be a camera bag but it also be a regular luggage to store clothes for travel.The only minus, for me was that it can only accommodate notebooks smaller than 14in. I have a 15.6 in laptop I carry and I had bring it separately as a personal item in a laptop bag.For short trips, I'll probably use this as my luggage and I'll use my PGYtech Onemo back pack as my camera bag.
