Vanguard Alta SKY 51D

£214/$211 www.vanguardworld.co.uk

The Vanguard Alta Sky 51D is designed to carry camera gear, a drone, or both. The main compartment has room for a pro DSLR with attached 70-200mm lens, and up to four lenses around it. Padding is good, and there’s a hatch on one side for mobile access. Primary access to this area is via a large rear panel that contains a slot for a 15-inch laptop. The flap opens wide, but you’ll need to bend the shoulder straps out of the way for unobstructed camera access.

PROS Excellent build; top, front and side access CONS Shoulder straps obstruct rear access
