When choosing a camera bag, I always consider not just the equipment I currently possess, but the potential for future expansion. And, while I believe there’s no such thing as an ideal camera bag for me – precisely because my wants and needs are in constant flux – I’m nonetheless always on the hunt for a single solution catering to all eventualities.
Enter the Vanguard Alta Fly 55T G2, a roller bag that thinks it’s a backpack. Or vice versa. Shoulder straps tuck neatly into the rear back padding when not needed. Similarly, chest and waist belts are provided for added stability if worn. Four wheels provide manoeuvrability when dragging the bag, with the added advantage of raising the bottom of the bag some four inches off the ground and clear of puddles. These wheels are also detachable, providing maximum flexibility and convenience.
