Product Description

VEO Active is a rough-and-tough photography bag with handsome looks and a full load of awesome outdoor functions. An expandable independent top storage area and expandable pockets on the belt and shoulder straps are welcome companions for nature trips and camping. The removable liner provides more flexibility and can be removed to leave an open compartment to pack if needed. When you’re toting some extra gear, you can hang an array of extra equipment pieces on the outside of the bag. VEO Active has your tech needs covered. An external USB socket that connects to a power bank storage area inside the bag lets you stay charged and ready as you hike to your next shot. An ultra-useful water bag storage area (designed to prevent leakage into the equipment storage area) helps you stay hydrated while afield. These bags are built tough, too. Advanced tailoring technology makes your bag safe to go the distance while out discovering nature or trekking city streets.

    "Camera Backpack" On Steroids
    5 Stars
    "Camera Backpack" On Steroids
    Just calling this bag a "Camera Backpack" does not really do it justice. This bag is design in a way that makes it modular enough to fill multiple roles for multiple uses.What makes this bag so universal is its customizable parts. It comes with a seprate detachable camera case that can fit in the main compartment, detachable waist strap, extra camera storage pouch, extra "cup holder" like pouch, tons of extra detachable straps, & even more extra detachable straps for the front of the bag.With all these straps this thing can carry bulky camping gear in addition to your camera gear. Thanks to the detachable camera case you can use the entire main compartment just to carry camping and travel gear or clothes alone. This turns this bag into a camping backpack. With the detachable waist strap you can then turn the bag into a hiking/climbing bag in case you need more support. This bag fills so many outdoor activities thanks to the customizable nature it is actually overwhelming at first impression!The bag's exoskeleton is also well designed, having a metal bar integrated on the back inner edges of the bag and having a well shaped solid rectangular bottom means this thing will stand up straight when placed down easy, no tipping bags!What about pockets? Too Many. 2 on each side, one with a possible usb A pass through for charging and another one for a umbrella or tri-pods, water bottle pouch, small expandable pouches on both side of the shoulder straps AND on the waist straps. One on the very back for sensitive items like passports/wallets, then one inside the top expandable compartment and some sleeves on the back for laptops/tablets. The back also contain a passthrough for sliding it onto a luggage handle.The overall material of this bag feels sturdy and makes me confident it will last for a good time span, but only time will tell. The back padding and shoulder strap padding is beefy. When searching "Camera Backpack" on Amazon what a a lot of the top results lack is a good strap with good front and back padding. This bag made sure to add big amount of cushion and little dotted spots to make the bag breathable while wearing for a extended amount of time.What might be the downside of this bag? It is absolutely huge. At 5'7" this bag looks absolutely massive. It would not look like a camera bag on initial impression until I pull out the camera bag.How does this perform as a camera bag? Unlike other camera bags that makes it a feature to be able to "quick draw" your camera accessories. What this bag does is make it customizable and add a lot of convenient pockets and straps so that you can turn it into a quick draw bag. The pouches in the chest and waist straps are shrunken via velcro when not in use but can be expanded enough to hold lens, and the additional zipper pouch can be used to house memory cards. Then the bag side can be used to quick draw a tripod, and since this bag has so many straps to hook things you can use those to attach your quick draw accessories via clips.All in all, at $300 during time of review this is a very expensive bag. But I can easily recommend this even for this price if you need a mid-large bag that can do it all: Hold Camera accessories, travel, hiking, camping, school, extreme weather sports, just anything. It's insane this thing is just considered a "Camera backpack" because it can do it all and the build quality of this thing has just felt insanely well. I'll be keeping an eye on the brand Vanguard. They are definitely making some kick-a$$ products over there. If this bag ever goes on sale for around $100-130 it would be an absolute steal.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of spots to put stuff
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023
    The bag has a lot of spots to stick stuff. There are pouches everywhere, it gives you the ability to safely carry a lot of camera gear. There is also a nice spot for lunch at the top pouch.

    One little odd thing is how the large rectangular camera compartment comes out. It either comes out the front in a half open zipper or out the back in a just big enough opening. The rectangular box does not have much on the outside to grab ahold of just a small handle on the top part. Basically it is a bit of a hassle to get it out or put it back in.
