I purchased the Vanguard Xcenior 62T series Rolling Trolley based on only one review, something I NEVER do. However, with that said, the descriptions on this bag filled every need and want that I felt I needed in a rolling camera bag. It is FABULOUS! The build is extremely nice. The bright orange interior is fantastic for finding all of my black equipment. The organization is logical, the zipped netting that I wasn’t sure I’d need, has already been a huge bonus. I can pull my camera out the top with the bag upright and everything below that remains in place. It still has plenty of room for the one lens and camera on my wish list, but it is already sporting my current DSLR camera and seven lenses (24 to 200mm)! This bag has already paid for itself as I was able to take a lens to a shoot I wouldn’t have hauled before and I ended up needing it!! I cannot speak to International travel, as I don’t, but it has been in and out of my vehicle and all over two states now and is holding tough. I would not be afraid to take anywhere. Only two faults I can list are the media holder, could be configured slightly different and Vanguard could give you a few more dividers, but I am sure that I can fix that. If you go to Vanguard, it takes a bit, but you can find a view of the front pocket designs. The descriptions are vague. Definately worth your time to research and purchase!!

I'm a working freelance director of photography with a C300 package, canon lenses, etc. I do a lot of doc work and have been trying to simplify my travel days, specifically when flying. I am able to fit a c300, 2-3 lenses, audio, a litepanel miniplus light as well as a compact shoulder rig and enough cards/batteries to keep going for day all within this bag which - and this is the best part - can be carried on to an airplane (in most instances). The optional backpack attachment is great when you're traveling alone, and the bag itself is well padded and secured. I've literally done 5-7 day shoots with this bag and an additional backpack. Obviously that's a very trimmed down package, but when you need to be light, this bag is it. The only thing that is frustrating is if I'm on a small plane the bag itself doesn't really compress any more than it's original shape - which is good for keeping your gear safe, but not so great for cramming into a cramped space. I highly recommend this bag if you need a versatile set bag, an ultralight travel bag, or a heavy duty lens/AC bag that isn't an unwieldy hard case.
