Review: almost perfect (for my needs) - My goal for this bag was to replace a camera backpack I've been using to carry around my (mirrorless) camera with a lens attached, plus 1 or 2 additional lens. The backpack worked fine for transporting in a car or on an airline, but it was a hassle when taking hikes. I don't find it comfortable to wear the camera on my neck, so I either carry it as I walk or put it in the backpack. When I need to use it, I need to take off the backpack, open it up, get the camera, close it, and wear the backpack again. And it's the same thing whenever I want to change lens. I used to use a messenger bag when I commuted to the office and I remember I could access it on the bus or while walking without ever taking it off. It seemed that would work as a camera bag, but I had already donated my messenger bags to goodwill. I have an additional challenge in that I want to store the camera vertically with the 600mm lens attached an that requires about 13 inches. That puts it right at the limit of most bags. So I really wanted 2 things from this bag: 1. Ability to store 13 inches of camera + lens attached vertically 2. Ability to access camera and change lens without taking off the bag 3. Additional pockets on the outside of the bag This bag accomplished all of this. It has a couple other useful things: 1. Besides the normal messenger bag flap, it also has a zipper on top, so you can access the interior quickly (and without having to flip over the flap). I still use the normal flap more, but it's nice to have the option. 2. It is expandable, like some suitcases. I don't expect to ever use that option, but is good to have just in case. 3. It has a lot of divider options. I only use two of them. I made three tall, vertical slots. But with all the divider stuff they provide, there are many options. This bag isn't perfect though. Here are the things I don't like (along with my workarounds): 1. Because the bag is expandable, it is lacking the outside pockets that are normally found on these types of bags. For me, I usually store a water bottle, tripod, dog poo bags, and/or hand sanitizer type stuff. Some people buy a third party add-on to hold a water bottle. I just store it inside (in one of my 3 vertical slots). This works well for me, because of that zipper access on top. Also, for me, water bottles often fall out of those outside pockets, so I actually like this better. I have a mini-tripod that can fit in one of the pockets. And poo bags and hand sanitizer can go in pockets as well. 2. Flaps usually have a clasp or they have velcro. This one has both. And the velcro is really strong and loud. I use the clasp mostly but the velcro is nice to have. It's just too strong and loud. (need 2 hands) So I took spare pieces of velcro fabric and covered half the bag's vecro. Now it works but it's not nearly as strong or loud. Other than that, I think this is only available in black, so it looks like an electronics bag. I was hoping for brown and a different type of material in order to look more like a hiking or commuting bag. But it's ok. Also these come in various sizes. I'm not sure why this one is discounted in price. It's almost half the price of the manufacturer's website, while the rest of their bags match price pretty close. So that was good for me and also the reason I went ahead and bought it. This put the price point close to the lower end bags.
Review: Well made and purpose built - Bags and backpacks are very personal. A bag that one person thinks is great another may find terrible due to differing purposes for the bag. Trying to be objective, the bag seems well made of quality materials. The 6CM expansion is nice and adds versatility for how full you want to pack it. Foam padding is heavy and sturdy and very versatile. Basically the whole inside of the bad is fuzzy leaving nearly infinite placement of the velcro dividers. Pocket on the outside flap is gusseted so that it can actually expand a little and hold things more than half and inch thick. That said, the bag is not real big and does not hold a ton of gear. It works perfect for my purpose though! This bag will hold camera with lens attached. Depending on the lens, you may be able to get one to two more lenses in the bag. I use this bag to carry a Canon 90D lens down in the bag with the 18-135mm IS USM attached. There is just barely enough room to tuck the 10-18mm lens under it at the bottom of the bag leaving the other two vertical spaces in the back for additional lenses, flash, etc. For me, it's a flash and 70-300mm lens in those compartments. My purpose for this was to be fairly light and portable with enough gear to handle the majority of basic situations so that I always have a camera with me. There are some really nice backpacks out there that hold way more gear, multiple cameras, drones and and multiple tripods, but they can be very cumbersome for daily carry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Solid Bag and a Great Value With Some Caveats
*by H***S on January 15, 2022*

I thought this bag had some excellent features and was really well laid out. It's an excellent value at the current price. it didn't work out for me, but I think a lot of people would be very happy with it. The goods: - The quick access compartment is excellently designed, one of the best I've seen - Thoughtful organization throughout the bag - Light colored insert, so it's easy to find things - Well constructed - Extremely well padded! - Thoughtfully designed lid with great shape and structure - Removable insert with flexible dividers to stack gear The so-so: - The materials seem a touch on the cheap side. Not bad by any stretch, but certainly not top quality. I think that's to be expected at this price point. I have no major concerns about it though, just notable. - The strap is not the most comfortable. This bag can fit A LOT, and so it can get extremely heavy. I wouldn't want to carry this for a long time fully loaded. I think that's true of most shoulder bags though, so not necessarily a fault of this particular bag - Either you like the look or you don't. It's not very sleek or stylish. - The expanding feature seems not really all that useful, but that's just me. For me the deal breaker was not the bag itself, but just a size issue. I have a small Fujifilm X setup and so this was simply too large for my needs. For a bag this size I slightly prefer the Mindshift Exposure 13 (looks cooler, better built and more features), but that bag is also significantly more expensive. I personally settled on the Peak Design 6L for my small set up. If you need more space at a low cost, this Vanguard may work for you!
