Vanguard ZIIN 14Z

The miniature Vanguard ZIIN 14Z photo bag is a solution for those who are not burdened with a lot of photographic equipment. In the best way, it will fit for transporting an ultrazoom or a compact SLR with kit optics (for example, Nikon D3400 kit 18-55mm).

single space

The only internal compartment in the arsenal of the model does not have removable partitions and is made in a single space. The camera fits into it with the lens down, moreover, there is no room for anything else in the compartment. The exception is small mirrorless cameras with tiny fixes. There is no need to worry about the integrity of photographic equipment, at least for the reasons that the contents are protected by a soft inner upholstery and a high-strength outer "wrap" made of polyester.

On Guard

Getting to the camera with the correct observance of all the prescribed rules for locking the bag is not so simple. First you need to unzip the latch, then release the lid from under the carrying handle, and at the last step, unzip the zipper. Malefactors with such organization of the mechanism of closing do not shine anything. And if the camera has to be taken out often, it is permissible to lock the bag purely on the latch.

Compactness above all

Vanguard ZIIN 14Z's main trumps up its sleeve are compact dimensions (180x130x200 mm) and light weight (less than 200 g). Actually, in view of this, the capacity of the bag turned out to be not so hot. An internal mesh pocket is ready to take on board a pair of flash drives and a USB cable, and an external Hook-and-loop pocket is ready for a camera charger. For unpretentious amateur photographers, the space provided by the model is quite enough, but if you plan to expand the staff of interchangeable optics, it is highly desirable to look at products with a larger capacity.
