The Vanguard VEO Active 42M is a rugged 17-litre trekking backpack designed to protect your photography gear during outdoor adventures. It features a removable, customizable inner bag that comfortably holds a mirrorless or small DSLR camera along with 3-4 lenses, including those up to 70-200mm. For quick access, the inner bag's top lid folds back, allowing you to reach your equipment from the rear of the pack. Constructed from tough nylon 840D, the grey exterior is resistant to weather and tears, while waterproof zips and an included rain cover provide IP55 certified protection against the elements. The design focuses on long-term comfort, utilizing a reinforced aluminium frame that follows the curve of the spine, paired with a wide air-flow system, padded shoulder cushions, and a waist cushion. An adjustable chest strap and a stowable waist belt help distribute the weight of your gear effectively. Beyond camera storage, you will find a dedicated compartment for a 13-inch laptop and a pocket for a 10-inch tablet. The pack is well-organized with a separate top section for personal items, a secure rear pocket for valuables, and a side pocket specifically for a 1-litre hydration pouch. It also includes a USB interface port for connecting a power bank, as well as specialized pouches for cables, batteries, and an extra lens. Two rear straps allow you to mount a tripod centrally for better balance or attach it to the side.
