Over time, every photographer accumulates a lot of equipment - no matter whether he or she is just a hobby photographer or a professional in the field. A new lens, a battery grip, a tripod or a flash are quickly purchased. These accessories, like the camera itself, must of course find a safe place in the camera bag. Memory cards, filters and rechargeable batteries also need to be stored in the bag. Many photographers therefore look above all for a camera bag with plenty of storage space. But that is not the only important point to consider when buying a camera bag. All kinds of valuable things are stored in it, which is why sturdy outer walls are the be-all and end-all. Pressure and impact forces must be reliably absorbed. The inside should be as soft as possible so that the camera and lenses are not scratched. It should be possible to divide the main compartment into several small compartments by means of variably adjustable foam padding. This way, expensive camera accessories can be transported safely. In addition, the camera bag should ideally also be waterproof so that a sudden downpour cannot harm the equipment.
But how do you find a camera bag that meets all these requirements and is also affordable? There are several manufacturers of high-quality camera bags. Among others, we recommend the models from Vanguard. They not only look high-quality, but also offer easy handling and extremely high quality. The manufacturer's range includes various series for different requirements. The Biin series, for example, offers small and robust bags for compact cameras. The Up-Rise series is suitable for more extensive camera equipment. There you can also store an external flash or a telephoto lens. However, all bags have one thing in common: they combine exquisite style with excellent functionality. If you don't know which Vanguard photo bag is best for your purpose, continue reading in the shop section below. There you will find all the information you need for your purchase decision.
The company Vanguard originates from the USA and has its German headquarters in Gummersbach. For about 25 years, the company has specialised in the production of camera and video bags. Accordingly, the manufacturer is well known among photographers for its high-quality and functional bags. Modern, well-designed solutions meet high-quality materials and excellent workmanship. The manufacturer works closely with professional photographers and always listens carefully to their feedback. In this way, any suggestions for improvement flow directly into the production of the new camera bags, resulting in even better solutions.
Vanguard is a real exception among manufacturers of bags: this company - unlike most of its competitors - specifies exactly which materials are used for each individual model. This is a clear indication that the manufacturer is proud of its choice of materials and that the Vanguard bags do not contain cheap, low-quality components. In the production of its bags, Vanguard places a lot of emphasis on high quality and meets international standards. In this way, Vanguard conveys to its customers that they can really trust the photo bags of this brand. Vanguard camera bags are also suitable for professional users such as professional photographers. Depending on the model, polyester is used as the outer material, which has a yarn count of 600 to 1200 denier. The inside of the bags is covered with soft linings made of 210 to 260 denier nylon and velvet. Furthermore, additional foam padding and soft compartment dividers are used to ensure physical protection under the individual elements of the equipment. Almost all bags from the Vanguard range are equipped with high-quality zips and an integrated rain cover.
The range of bags from Vanguard is very extensive and therefore comparatively confusing for laymen at first glance. However, the company really does offer a suitable transport option for every purpose. The following series are currently in the Vanguard range:
That's a total of over 15 different bag series, each of which includes several models. In addition, older models from other series are still in circulation and continue to be sold. The Vanguard series includes small bags for compact cameras as well as medium-sized shoulder bags for a DSLR and one or two lenses. But you can also find backpacks that offer enough space for the entire DSLR professional equipment in our range of Vanguard photo bags. Many camera bags and backpacks are equipped with additional practical features and have, for example, a laptop compartment, wheels for rolling, a tripod holder or rain and weather protection. Even in heavy rain, you don't have to worry about your camera equipment if you choose a weatherproof bag.
Often, camera bags are suitable for a specific combination of camera body and lens. For example, there are bags for the DSLR including kit lens. Depending on the model, however, there may be room for one or two additional lenses with a medium focal length. Bags designed for a DSLR including kit lens and telephoto lens are also part of the Vanguard product portfolio. Some bags are so large that they can even hold more than two cameras and many different lenses. Accordingly, no wishes are left unfulfilled here and every photographer will find exactly the bag that perfectly suits his or her requirements.
