Vanguard Up-Rise II 43 Photo Video backpack black (Accessories)

Customer Review

Looking for a suitable for me photo backpack, it always turned out to be very difficult herraus to correctly estimate the size of a, especially since I have no backpack found, offering me a lateral fast access, but no supplies area. Most of the interior via two different openings is then even reachable. That was the crucial sticking point why I have decided for the Up-Rise II 43. This can be represented by only one opening to the access to the complete interior and offers to the still on one side a quick access flap, but is likely to be a little small when using a battery grip. My Nikon D7000 fits space-saving upright only with fumbling through that has nothing to do with quick access. Cross the opening is but big enough.
To build quality, I can not say much, I own the Up-Rise just since yesterday. However, it makes everything a very stable and robust high-quality impression. Vanguard is actually also known to provide good Quality.
The variability of the backpack is relatively high. The storage space is divided about halfway through a sewn floor into a lower and slightly smaller upper section. This floor is only geklettet on the sides, so that these can also be folded down flat. Even the back cover there is a velcro strap, so that nothing can bumble down. There are at a medium range of dividers, so that you can adapt to their own taste splitting its equipment accordingly. The width is large enough that my D7000 fits in with attached Tamron 70-300. Much longer the combination should also not be. The 70-300 also fits solo standing in the backpack for longer lenses can be the lower compartment by pulling on a zipper something erweitern.Neben the camera compartment is still a Nikkor 16-85 and a small compartment for Kleinkrams as filters or reducing rings remains left. The camera compartment I have again divided horizontally me, so that I. Almost above the lens nor a flash, in my case, a Metz 44 AF-1 insert, A rubber band, which is provided at the ends with Velcro, the Slingbag was and keeps the flash position.
In the upper area, unfortunately, is only the edge lined with klettfähigem material, the bottom as well as the total solid seams foldable divider is smooth on this page, so it is here much more difficult to establish a secure subdivision (That would be the first weakness). Here I've helped me with dividers from my old camera bag. There, I've now created my place for a Nikkor 35 and a Nikkor 50 (which would also fit into a compartment above the other), including cable charger and spare batteries for the flash and some other odds and ends.
And here we are already in the second weak point. There are only a closable mesh pocket for odds and ends right as remote trigger, memory cards and whatever else you need, inside the lid. So it would have been very comfortable when in fast access lid also be a small lockable compartment for memory cards or replacement battery. While there is the quick access lid from the outside an open compartment, its meaning is not really open up to me. In the large lid, there is a large-scale but flat pocket with zipper, in which one finds the rain cover and can be accommodated in the hiking map, guide and / or operating instructions. Opposite the quick search function, there is an extensible open pocket, about two loops where eg ballpoint pen or the like can be inserted. For the stretchable bag the sense really opens up even more to me. Possibly could be two feet of a not all plug to a large tripod and secure it with the safety belt of the upper compartment. there If I had to try it.
It's also nice that there is a name tag where you can enter the name and phone number. And against unauthorized unnoticed access to the content is I think too worried enough. The fast access compartment is secured by a clip fastener, a Velcro closure and a double zipper. The unwanted raise the zipper can thereby prevent the one permeates the drawstring, which connects the two car under the clip. However, the opening would seem to be too small to go unnoticed herrauszuholen the camera there. The main compartment is closed by a double-barreled zipper, so that one up in both directions and can pull or even in half. At the car large loops are off, which would also make it possible to install a small padlock. The lid is secured with two straps. If the zipper times fail because one point instead of a photographic equipment bullion, does not work the same on the lid. At the same time prevents the closed belt, that the zipper just can completely open and can access the equipment. It only reaches the top as provisions konziperten department.

Conclusion: The result is a good-looking photo-Slingbag robust, with sufficient size for larger lenses that possesses good variability. If the upper tray would be completely lined with velcro compatible surfaces and one or the other odds and ends sealable bag would be more available, there is also the fifth star from me.
