Hello again!
No, you're not seeing double, this is Izzy from Digital Goja showrooms and look, another
Altura Photo backpack.
This guy is called: The Wanderer.
And, look at everything that I can take with it.

And, don't forget to visit Digital Goja showrooms when in Miami.
Now, this guy is in the middle of the backpack designs from Altura Photo, this guy is a little
bit larger than the light traveler and smaller than, of course, the huge Explorer.
The exterior dimensions are: 11.4" x 5.5" x 17.9" and the interior is 10" x 4.5" x 16.5",
so you have plenty of room to be able to hold some DSLR and mirrorless equipment, but yet
it's still small and light weight.
Remember, this guy will fit in your overhead compartment for most airlines and also underneath
the traveling seat.
And, notice how you have the shoulder straps very well padded and you have the padded back
for lumbar support, plus reinforced clips and D-rings, plus your load straps, very well
put together, again, it has padding throughout and notice the reinforced stitching that we
have on the handle here, they did a really nice job and they made this nice and secure
and of course they did the stitching and the padding typical of the Altura design in their
manufacturing process.
On the side here where your tripod goes, you also have a small zippered compartment for
storage of batteries and what-not, very well put together, again we have that 840 D weather
resistant nylon with the dual zipper design.
Now, remember, this guy, just like the baby brother opens from the front, so this is how
you have access to all your equipment, the dividers are nice and padded, very well put
together, you have, again, nice dividers with good velcro so that you can align this to
fit whatever equipment you want to take with you and it has that elastic compression band
which is awesome because that way when you open this up and you flip it you don't have
equipment falling out.
Notice even on something as the detail on the zipper so that when you store it notice
that this actually protects it so that it doesn't scratch your equipment.
And of course, here's the area where you can put up to a 9.5" tablet or any kind of mobile
device.
Here, you can put up to any DSLR with up to 8" of length and lens attached to it.
And I'll show you what fits in here afterwards.
And notice that when you close these dual zippers up, they're easy to open and
close, that way is dual so you can open up the area that you prefer to access your equipment
that you want, plus they also give you that protective cover over the zippered area to
guarantee that you do not have any excess debris or water getting in here.
Now let me show you how easy it is to use a tripod with your backpack.
Very simple, notice on the side, this is your pocket.
It has velcro and it opens up and there's the support for two legs, and the way I recommend
it is, you put two legs in there to hold it in place and one leg stays on the outside,
so it's very simple you feed the two legs in there and hold it in place, but first what
you want to do is, you want to make sure that this strap is extended to the max so that
you can feed your tripod through, then now feed these legs into the little pocket area,
like so, clamp down on this so it holds it in place and now pull here so that your tripod
is held firmly on the side of your backpack.
Very simple, and again this is the BeFree from Manfrotto, I've had good results but
you can use many different compact or smaller size tripods or even monopods.
Notice how I have this guy fully loaded, I mean I have every lens for any situation that
I choose, even including my trusty 70-300 L series lens, so you can put anything that's
6.5" either on the camera, but not standing up, so it has to be laying down.
But, I have room for larger 24-70mm prime lenses, fisheyes, LED light, two strobes,
because I'm going to be going on a shoot where I need 2 strobes, and, oh I love this elastic
compresion band that guarantees that my camera doesn't go flying when I pop it up and here's
my 7D Mark II and again, you can probably fit a full frame camera in here.
I would imagine a 6D would fit in here rather easily, and take advantage of the pocket,
I have my filter kits and some extra memory cards plus I have my trusty iPad in here.
Again, you can put a smaller tablet or laptop or netbook in here and I have some cleaning
supplies out here in the other pocket, so, ready to go now.
Let's take a look and see how you would wear this guy.
Now again, this is the medium size one, but it holds, as you saw, a lot of gear.
What you want to do is first is you want to loosen up all the straps so that you can adjust
it.
So you loosen the shoulder strap, the sternum support and the load straps, that way you
can fit it.
Now, of course, my size, I had to extend it to the max, but, normal size people don't
have to go through this.
So, here we go, then I can actually adjust this depending on how comfortable you want
it, remember the sternum strap moves up and down so you can adjust this so it doesn't
choke you, clip it on and then pull on it.
it gives you a nice, secure hold and then pull on the load straps so that it doesn't
ride down on the bottom.
And this time I didn't choose to take a tripod with me, but again, you have that capability,
but notice how with this, this is nice and tight now so I have it adjusted so that it's not
going to fly off, but it's nice and comfortable on me.
Again, adjust these, there we go, so you can load it up, voila!
And again, with this, I can do this, which I'm not going to do, but it allows you to
maintain the backpack sternally and comfortably on your back where it's supposed to be.
So again, if you're in the market for a medium sized backpack, take a closer look at the
Wanderer from Altura Photo.
Happy shooting!
