Vanguard has expanded its Alta Sky Collection of camera bags with the addition of the top-of-the-range Alta Sky 68 backpack, which can carry an 800mm telephoto lens, plus seven other lenses.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alta Sky Collection is designed for photographers who need to carry large equipment loads across rough terrain safely.<\/p>\n

A key seller in the range is the Alta Sky 66, which was designed to carry a super telephoto lens up to 600mm f\/4 (some 800mm f\/5.6 lenses), attached to a pro-spec DSLR or full-frame mirrorless body.<\/p>\n\t\t

However, only being able to carry one large lens can limit a photographer working on location, so Vanguard addressed this with the addition of the Alta Sky 68, which it describes as, ‘The ultimate gear-carrying and working backpack.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Eight lens option<\/h3>\n

The Alta Sky 68 is specifically designed to carry a super telephoto lens up to an 800mm f\/5.6, attached to a pro DSLR or full-frame mirrorless camera body, along with up to seven additional lenses (or personal kit).<\/p>\n

The super telephoto lens can be accessed from the top, and additional lenses at the rear of the backpack from a lower access panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Alta Sky 68 can also accommodate a 16-inch laptop and an 11-inch tablet (compared to just a 9-inch tablet in the Alta Sky 66), which allows photographers to check if they\u2019ve captured their perfect shot or even edit their shots on the go.<\/p>\n

Designed to be tough, the Alta Sky 68 includes rip-stop and water-resistant material, with a rain cover for wetter days, and extensive padding for maximum protection.<\/p>\n\t\t

Harness system<\/h3>\n

To carry this load in comfort, the Alta Sky 68 incorporates the Alta Sky harness system for maximum comfort on the move.<\/p>\n

This includes a well-padded and breathable 3D back panel, with extra padding against the shoulder blades and the lower back, which can be customised to height of the individual with three separate settings.<\/p>\n

The Sky Alta 68 has well-padded shoulder straps that are contoured for a comfortable fit. They incorporate both sternum straps and shoulder cinch straps allowing you to minimise movement on the go.<\/p>\n

An extra wide and padded waist belt ensures the load is well spread across the lower body.<\/p>\n\t\t
