We have looked at different types and styles of camera bags but the Vanguard 53 isn’t your normal camera bag.

Think Tank Photo Shapeshifter Backpack Review
I have had the hardest time dealing with camera bags over the years, from my first backback that got so heavy I couldn’t lug it around anymore to my uber cool Airport International 2.0 which is great for big jobs but what about when I want to go a little lighter? My old backback is too large, and my Airport International is too big, and my Modulous Speed Belt can’t hold enough nor is appropriate when traveling. So what does that leave?
