Vanguard Alta Fly 55T G2 Roller Bag and Backpack

The ALTA FLY 55T G2 is a 22 litre roller case with the Vanguard ReGLIDE System that converts to a backpack and will fit up to two camera bodies with up to a 70-200mm f2.8 lens attached, and up to 6 additional lenses (up to 300mm f/4), a 14” laptop and 11" tablet, while also carrying a tripod.

The ALTA FLY 55T G2 is an airline carry-on* compatible four wheel trolley, but converts to a backpack in seconds to cover more rugged terrain, and is designed to face the challenges any photographer faces when travelling the world.

Constructed with a dual bar telescopic handle and using durable, anti-scratch, moisture resistant materials, this bag is built to withstand years of long-haul wear and tear, with a rain cover for the wettest days.

It also features four 11x22mm ReGLIDE wheels and a solid dual bar handle for maximum control, and the Vanguard ReGLIDE System allows each of the four wheels to be removed and replaced with ease if needed, maximising the life of the camera bag.

The padded camera compartment is 310 x 115 x 410mm and can fit up to two camera bodies with up to a 70-200mm f2.8 lens attached, and up to 6 additional lenses (up to 300mm f/4), up to a 14” laptop (compartment is 290 x 25 x 410mm) and multiple accessories. This camera compartment is removable to allow it to be used as an everyday roller bag.

For maximum security, it features a ‘3 Security Point System’. For maximum security travelling between locations, the main compartment zipper has loops for a padlock (#1). On location, there is a buckle on either side that prevents the zipper being pulled fully open (#2), which also allows you rapid top access to your preferred camera/lens setup. Inside the bag there is an internal zippered mesh (#3) that ensures that your camera kit can't fall out unexpectedly when you open the front compartment, and acts as an extra layer of protection on the go.

The bag can also carry a tripod on the side using the tripod foot pocket that tucks away into the side of the bag when not needed.

For added storage, there are large external front pockets with organizer inside will store all you need close at hand, like an 11" tablet, chargers, SD cards, smartphone, travel documents, wallet, sunglasses, etc.

While this is an agile four-wheel trolley, there are times when you can't roll the bag. This model sports an advanced backpack harness for just that moment, and then tucks away when not in use. This harness system includes padded shoulder straps with an adjustable chest strap, and a waist strap to spread the load. It also includes pull out rear wheel covers to prevent damp or dirty wheels rubbing on your clothes when carried on your back.
