5 Stars Great Grab n’ Go Bag
Pros: This is a great little bag. Very High Quality. I will buy KATA again. It has all the compartments you could ask for. Now, this is not a bag you would take out on a Pro Session, but is geared towards a family day out or a short day trip. I took it camping recently and the provided rain cover got its first use (this is a very handy extra). It worked wonderfully. It rained quite a bit and didn’t even penetrate through. The storage area up top is quite roomy. It is the perfect size for a jacket (or a couple children jackets in my case) and some personal artifacts (or diapers and wipes in my case, haha).The Straps are comfortable and well padded, but the chest strap is a bit thin, but nothing to worry about. It is not flimsy, just not padded. The metal rings on the outside are great for hanging stuff on. The hinged camera compartment is awesome. My wife could get things out in a snap. I just had to swing it around quick if I needed something. The compartment fit the body+lens, about 10 filters, Camcorder, and had a space for an extra lens. The surprise cup holder pocket on the side is great, too.
Cons: The compartment for the camera is a bit small. Don’t expect to fit the body+ a telescopic lens in there. I had a 18-55 attached and it was almost maxed out, but, like I said, it is more of a day out bag. The bag also has no way to secure the excess of the straps down. They kind of hang there and blow around. I personally took the waist strap off and used the elastic bands for the shoulder straps. Problem solved. This is not a functional problem, but just bothered me.
Overall: If you want a bag to grab and go out the door. This is a great bag. Its very durable and functional. You can throw in you camera equipment, toss in some other junk, and head out. If you want a bag to hold all your fancy lenses and gear, then do not get this bag. Plus, If you need a bag for all that then shame on you! Fork over the extra dough for a bigger bag. DUH!!
5 Stars Awesome bag for price.
awesome bag. i was looking for a backpack type camera bag that wasn’t as large and didn’t say steal me all over it. THis bag looks just like any other backpack besides the KATA logo which is fairly small. Bought this bag for my 40D + 28-135 is lense. Fit the body with lense and hood attached backwards in perfectly. Also have the 580EX II. The speedlight is a little long for the compartment with the sto-fen attached, but put hte flash to 90 degree angle it and it fits better. With room to spare for my chargers, extra batteries and my 50mm f/1.8II.. top compartment has enough room for small lunch and other assorted items. side water bottle holder fits normal 20oz bottles fine. used it to fit my tripod with two legs in it and strapped around the bag with the bag straps. Took this bag on a 6 mile hike. didn’t feel the weight at all. great bag. buy if ur equipment load is smaller or if u just want a bag to take ur single kit on.! hope this helps!
5 Stars Best Camera Pack
I spent a long time searching for a camera backpack that would work well for me. I am a small woman (5′) who uses this pack for hiking and biking. I am able to put my Canon 30D w/70-200 F4 L lense attached in either the bottom or the top sections. I do have to rearrange the foam dividers to put the camera on the bottom section, but it is very secure and still easy to access. I usually have a 28-80 lense inside the bottom section too.
This pack is very well made and the included rainfly is a plus while hiking in Colorado where the weather can change in a blink of an eye. I checked out all the other major brands of backpacks and nothing compared to the quality of the Kata. I highly recommend this backpack for your camera gear.
5 Stars HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I already own a Lowepro Computrekker AW, which is a very good bag but too big to carry around and is not suitable for personal belongings. So I had to get a smaller bag for a 9 days trip which required allot of walking and biking. After reviewing various models of Lowepro, Tamrac and Kata, i decided on this one. I packed a Canon 40D, 2 prime lenses of 35 and 50mms, 28-135mm IS, a polarizer filter, card reader, battery charger and couple extra memory cards. The upper comportement was also good enough to carry three books, wallet, hat etc. It also had a separate comportement to use for either a water bootle or tripod. I am not always happy with the design of the camera bags and this one in my eyes was very well designed. I recommend it to anyone who does not carry a laptop.
5 Stars Great & innovative bag, perfect size
Just received mine today & loaded it up for a week-long trip to Germany. In went my Nikon D200 with 18-200 mounted, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, and SB-800 flash + various accessories, all in the lower compartment. The way this rotates out is brilliant. My computer is a Macbook Air, which fits widthwise into the computer area, leaving about 1/2 of it for papers, etc. Overall the external dimensions don’t suggest how much capacity this bag really has. And it doesn’t look like a camera or computer bag – it just looks like a nice medium backpack. The only omission I noticed so far is that there is no small pockets in the camera area for extra memory cards.
