Vanguard’s new Veo City camera bags adopt the style and design of its existing City Cross Body bags, but are designed for larger mirrorless and DSLR camera systems. They come in backpack and shoulder bag designs and include a removable tech pouch.
There’s a choice of colors and capacities too. The Veo City shoulder bags are available in 7 and 10-liter capacities in either light gray or navy blue, while the Veo City backpacks are in 12, 16 and 21-liter sizes in the same light gray or navy blue colors.
It's always good to see and try camera bags for real before deciding, and visitors to the UK's The Photography and Video Show at the Birmingham NEC March 16-19 can see these new bags at their first public showing.

Vanguard Veo City S shoulder bags
The smaller 7-liter Veo City S bag holds a mirrorless camera or a small DSLR body with two additional lenses and an 11-inch tablet, with the ability to carry a tripod below, while the 10-liter version can hold a DSLR with four additional lenses and a 13-inch laptop.
Both bags come with a fitted accessories pouch for storing memory cards, cables and other accessories, and these can be detached to be used separately for small items like passports and phones.
The top flap incorporates a pocket for valuables, and there’s a ‘non-slip’ shoulder strap with a detachable cross-body strap for extra stability on the move. This can also be used as the shoulder strap for the accessories pouch.
