VINTA VINTA | S-Series - (Black) Travel & Camera Bag/Backpack

Pretty nice bag and is a piece of eye candy. Very functional and offers a very nice style points. One word describes the bag...Tight. The inside padding is thick and the compartments are amazing and perfectly sized. Just make sure you don't overload it. Good for carrying around your essentials. I know I shouldn't compare a product to the Social Media, but their Social Media and customer service is on point with fast shipping. I enjoy the bag and how it looks and the company behind it

Expensive, but I wanted something compact that holds its shape for carrying my camera and lens. It is neat and compact and works great for when I need to have three lens, my camera, flash, and a few cords, batteries, and filters. I really wish they had added about two inches both to the length and the width and about and inch to the depth. Still the best "easy to carry camera backpack" I have ever owned...and I own a lot of of them from small to very large. Yes...it is expensive (over priced for its size) but given how much I have paid for so many other camera specific and general back packs I have already spent at least that much...so in the long run I have what I need. If you can afford to spring for the cost I say it is well worth it. I had a rough design on paper for something like this but as I noted I would have made it just a tad larger. On an airplane it will fit very neatly under the seat or in the overhead. I don't regret the purchase because of how well it fits my gear. You can't pack everything so it forces you to consider what you really need to carry. Obviously, you can't get a tripod inside the pack. It does not lock but not a major issue for me since it is pretty much always on my back..

I was looking at this bag for a while...I have a Fuji system and thought it would be perfect! Finally took the plunge last week, and tore the package open when it arrived...I was that excited. However I was so disappointed when i took the back out of it's protective case. The look and idea is great, but the materials are so cheap! The 'leather' straps are seem more pleather to me, and the nylon used inside the bag reminds me of cheap laundry bags the dry cleaner gives you. It advertises as holding a 15" laptop, but it's an incredible tight squeeze, and you'll spend more time taking one out and putting it back in at the airport than is worth. The interior camera dividers are great if using the whole lot, but difficult to configure if you're taking a stripped down kit. Would be a great bag for $100, but at $250 I think they need to up their game massively in the materials department. Sent it back the next day and bought a Think Tank Perception which I love so far!

It's everything I was looking for and more. The selling point for me was that it opens against your back. Great, timeless protection for my gear.Review Update (after 7 months of heavy use)After having travelled with this backpack quite extensively I thought I'd write a review update. I still love the backpack and the design is beautiful (I love that it doesn't look like a camera bag). Unfortunately I do agree with some of the reviewers that the quality should have been better for the price you pay. More specifically, the inner and back panels aren't as sturdy/firm as proper camera bags' usually are. The laptop sleeve against the back panel is a soft material and a little impractical if you want to use it for a laptop - it doesn't feel secure and is rather loose. It's got one velcro strap to "close" at the top but would have been better if they rather had a zip closure here so things can't fall out when opening the backpack. I feel that the backpack needs additional straps to secure your gear and prevent gear from falling around.The backpack is very comfy, but gets uncomfortable when packed full of gear and worn for hours of walking - the shoulder straps could have been sturdier. I would not recommend doing long, strenuous day/multi day hikes with this backpack as there's no support on the hips to lessen the weight on your shoulders, nor is there any ventilation against your back. Vinta never claimed this to be a backpack for long treks, but their marketing is very much focused on travelling and outdoor excursions.This is not a negative review, I don't regret buying this backpack. This my honest opinion and I thought I'd share some things I wish I knew before buying.

Would not purchase again or recommend to fellow photographers. The zipper busted after light use and vinta remains unwilling to fix the issue. Highly disappointed in their product and customer service.

So the bag is nice and light and holds it’s shape and is prefect for travel photographers and techies who travel with clothes and light amount of gear , and or hold a good amount of gear. I got rained on a couple of times and it stayed nice and dry inside. The only thing is that feel that the zipper and clips feel a little weak but never had a problem.

I bought this backpack as a gift for my boyfriend who is a pro photographer and he loved it for everyday use. It has a lot of pockets and deviders that you can custom fit for your equipment. My only concern was the leather felt a little cheap but the other hardware is de-lux!:)

Overpriced. The design is good. It looks amazing online. In person, it looks okay. The build quality is not as good as my ONA bag. The profile is low, which is good for bulkiness. The inserts could be more utilitarian. For the price tag, I expect more. This would be amazing at $99 or $129, but at $250 -- naw, spend a few more coins on something else.It says waterproof, but i am unsure how it would hold up in the elements.
