Digital Camera World Verdict

The Veo Range 36M/38M are light, practical and affordable shoulder bags with some neat touches. They can take a laptop and a good quantity of kit without feeling overstuffed and it’s great to be able to put a tripod in the base and not have to strap it to the outside – though it’s going to have to be pretty small tripod when folded in order to fit.

Pros

  • +

    Integrated tripod compartment

  • +

    Carries a lot without deforming

  • +

    Well made for the money

Cons

  • -

    Only small tripods will fit

  • -

    Noisy Velcro!
