.... To its predecessor in my view, a clear step backwards. I own the predecessor of the Vanguard 33 and wanted to buy myself a new bag because of the practical possibility of a tripod to be attached to her. I regret to say that many good and intelligent features of its predecessor have fallen away with the new bag. So I might receive the newly introduced zipper as unnecessary and annoying - the really good entertaining Velcro the previous bag was significantly more functional. Also, the strap has become well 20cm shorter what - at least for me - to carry the bag under Hip level must or easily makes cross on his back, impossible. What bothers me is the gain in width - the old model was adaptable via a zipper in the wide - this extremely useful function is unfortunately also in the "development" fallen by the wayside. Too much around the bag to keep it for me just because of the attachment of the stand - a pity, I have been very satisfied with its predecessor but this is a clear step backwards. The processing and the material of the bag are still very good, the rest is not for me to accept ...
