Vanguard USA Awards

In our last ePub issue we reviewed a superb camera bag from Vanguard USA, the Adapter 46. If you read the review then you know how adaptable (hence the Adapter name) it is. It’s a backpack or shoulder bag or hand carry bag that can hold all of your camera equipment and more.

We aren’t the only people who love Vanguard’s products. Here are excerpts from an announcement we received this week:

VANGUARD, global leader in photo-video accessories, today announced its BBH-200 ball head and The Heralder series camera bags have earned prestigious 2012 TIPA awards.

The 2012 awards were voted on by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) General Assembly last month in South Africa, where editors of close to 30 top photo magazines from around the world selected the best imaging products of the year.

VANGUARD's BBH-200 was named "Best Accessory 2012." According to the TIPA, voters were won over by the ball head's innovative Rapid Level System that aids photographers in instantly positioning their camera perpendicular to the base, stating, "Vanguard's unique 'Rapid Level System' in their new BBH-200 Ball Head makes life easier for photographers."

VANGUARD's The Heralder series camera messenger bags were voted "Best Photo Bag 2012" for their quick and easy access and large storage capacity. The Heralder Series is a fast-action messenger bag for on-the-move photographers.
