Vanguard VEO Select 42T review

Y'all ready to get that weight off y'all back? It was a rhetorical question for me! I just upgraded my travel bag to do just that. I recently picked up the VEO Select 42T which is a four-wheel "spinner" style bag from @vanguardphoto_usa that I bought in the exclusive green colorway from @adorama & it's been the perfect solution to 2 unique problems I've had over the last few years. 1. Getting the weight off my back from years of traveling abroad with a bunch of gear has been a game changer. Don't get me wrong I still love my @wandrd PRVKE 30L bag & will definitely still travel with it. But I'm going to let this new bag from @vanguardphoto_usa do all the heavy lifting when moving & shaking through these airports.?? 2. It's super inconspicuous which is a huge plus when traveling with gear. I love the protection an old school Pelican style hard case can provide & I'm sure there are scenarios where that is needed, but I've found them to be a dead giveaway for letting folks know you have

It Swallows

Great layout, everything is well designed. Finish details are all there. Great construction and sewing on this bag. Swallows a ton of equipment. Love the tripod carrying feature. The only issue I have with the bag is it's too easy to take too much stuff with you. I think that's my problem, not the bag, lol.

Excellent, tough backpack for hiking with several lenses

I have been using this bag while hiking for about 9 months as of the writing of this review. It is comfortable, easy to use, and has kept my equipment safe in rain and a couple slides down hills in slippery conditions. It is easy to switch between backpack and briefcase configurations, and its looks do not draw attention to it unnecessarily.

Room for a lot of gear and unsurpassed quality of construction.

I have about 7 camera bags of various sizes, qualities and carriage design. This Vanguard bag will be my favorite henceforth. I have a Lowepro bag that is a little larger with a roomy pocket in the front of the bag and that Lowepro just feels too awkward to carry on my shoulder. This Vanguard is more than sufficient in size and seems more streamlined. The material is very tough and I purchased the olive colored bag which has a very classy look. In this bag I carry a Sony A7r4 with the Sony 24-105mm f4 lens attached, a Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art, a Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 lens, a headlamp for night-time, 6 batteries, remote shutter release, flash cards, Allen wrenches, a large Giotto rocket blower and I still have room for another small lens. If I reconfigured it I could easily carry the Sony camera A7r4 with the 24-105mm lens, my Sony 70-400mm zoom as well as the Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 lens. That would cover a range from 15mm to 400mm. I cant overemphasize the quality of this bag.

Great for traveling, plenty of space for two camera and three lens plus extra gear. Easy access to equipment. Well made. This bag was recommended to me so I purchased it and very happy ??. I recommend this bag too!

The VEO SELECT 41 incognito backpack features a great "on-the-go" transformation option, allowing you to tuck the harness out of the way and use a well-padded shoulder strap when a different carrying mode is preferred. Designed for intuitive use, you will find that the quick-action, side flap opening allows you to grab-and-shoot in split seconds in both carrying styles.

The slick outer look is combined with rugged protection, and the bag will easily safeguard a DSLR with lens attached, 2-3 extra lenses, a flash, and accessories. Alternatively, it can also fit a small professional drone, or Mirrorless/CSC/Hybrid Camera with video gear (gimbal, audio kit, lighting, and more). The initial divider arrangement is configured as a daypack, with the top third accessed via the zippered opening. However the dividers can easily be set up for full equipment use and easy top access for camera with tele lens attached. Match your workflow preferences with a hierarchal set-up, utilizing the many dividers and multiple access points.

Strategically placed internal and external pockets arrange all other essentials. Up to a 13" laptop slips into a protective sleeve on the rear opening panel, the full double-sided zipper pocket can be used for a notebook, extra tablet, or as a sling for a jacket, and a small discreet top pocket keeps your phone handy. A concealed rear pocket will secure valuables such as a wallet or travel documents close to your body, where no prying hands can reach. Additional storage is made possible with the connection to side strap loops, and the large side pocket will fit a water bottle or dock your tripod, monopod, or lighting stand.

All-encompassing protection due to superb bag construction, rugged materials, and sturdy dividers. And finally, stay dry and always on-the-ready with Vanguard's reinforced water and scratch resistant material on the bottom and our total coverage rain cover.

VEO SELECT 41 carries comfortably, and it features an ergonomic back and harness as well as sturdy side and top handles, which makes grab-and-run possible at any given moment. You will find a well-padded shoulder strap included for the shoulder bag mode, and when traveling, the connection to the handle of your wheel-along luggage will lighten the burden of traipsing through airports.
