Vanguard Alta Sky 68 Backpack

The Vanguard Alta Sky 68 is a stylish backpack designed to carry a super telephoto lens up to an 800mm, attached to a Pro DSLR or full frame Mirrorless body, along with up to 7 additional lenses or personal kit and a 16-inch laptop.

The Alta Sky 68 features two separate sections in the main compartment, so you can carry all of you kit. One half of the main compartment is designed to fit a Pro DSLR or Mirrorless body attached to a 600mm (f/4.0) lens, or even some 800mm (f/5.6) lenses. An adjustable thick, sturdy and well-padded cradle supports the camera body from below and secures the large lens in position, while making sure it is well protected all around the delicate connection point.
The other half of the main compartment is designed to hold up to 7 additional lenses, or it can be customised to carry the personal kit you need for a longer trek.

A full front opening flap ensures easy top access to the camera/telephoto lens, and the top half of the compartment with the additional lenses, while the lower half of each compartment can be accessed from the back. The rear access also includes a pouch for a 16" laptop.

The interior is a light, bright orange that allows you to clearly see the contents of the bag, even in low light conditions. Or in the event of an emergency on your trek, can help you attract attention by making you more visible.

A full sized tripod can be carried centrally for optimal balance, using the tripod foot pocket and adjustable straps to hold it tightly for maximum comfort on the move. Alternatively a tripod or monopod can be carried in the expanding side pocket, or it can be used to carry a water bottle.
Organise all other gear and personal essentials such as a 16" laptop (compartment is 280x25x360mm), 11" tablet, memory cards, cables, batteries, charger and smartphone, exactly where you need them.
