Kata Backpack Camera Bag

[Carabiner] I have a Kata Dr-465i bag that I use with my Canon EOS 60D and three lenses (1 on camera and 2 in storage spots). I love the Kata bag -- it's a great size for field use, and for transport like when I go to on vacation or to the relatives for holidays. But once I acquired the 60mm lens, it would simply not fit in the bag in the camera storage area. Generally this is not an issue, since the 60mm is a lens I use indoors when I prefer not to use the other lens (zooms). And I did not want to go to a larger size bag. So for storage I found the LensPouch was a perfect fit to allow me to keep the 60mm lens in the top section of the bag with some protection.

[Handle] This is perfect if you want to throw a camera into any backpack or bag

[18 x 12.6 x 7"] I sometimes use this for a small camera bag but mostly use it as a general backpack.

[3/8"-16 Male] I really wanted this bag to work, but it was just to small. Coming from a Kata/Manfrotto bag which has multiple pockets and compartments and could hold my equipment... the Billingham bag was just not big enough. It was an awesome bag, quality materials, and looked very sharp... just wasnt big wnough and needed to be returned.

[0.16 lb] I travel a lot and have used the straps that came with my Lowepro and Kata camera bags. I carry a DLSR and lenses in the Lowepro and a Canon XHA1 with gear in the Kata bag. The Kata strap had plastic clips that broke on a flight wiithin a few weeks. I used my Lowepro strap on whichever bag I was using at the time. Each bag probably weighs 30-40 pounds when packed for a shoot. Both straps were always digging into my shoulder hard enough to leave visible marks on my shoulders. When you are carrying a bag through an airport or through the streets a long time, it's rough and I was also getting a lot of back pain too. On a shoot in New York, I had the opportunity to go to B&H and try out some new straps. I bought the Op/Tech because it felt so comfortable. It was like having a shock absorber on my shoulder! I'm buying another one for my Lowepro bag! It is beyond comfortable!!!

[Zipper] After collecting Kata bags for years it was time to find something to carry the newer MacBook pro, Nikon D850 and D800 with lenses, and cables, dongles and such for the laptop all in one bag. Loved Kata, couldnt find what I thought I needed at Manfrotto, so checked out the Think Tank Airport Navigator. Awesome travel bag for the plane but rolling luggage around every day wasnt cutting it. The ergonomics of this StreetWalker allow me to carry both cameras and enough gear to shoot and edit while away in the convenient backpack format which seems so much lighter than toting the Navigator via the shoulder strap. Completely loaded the bag carries with much more ease and stands bolt upright when set down on the ground. Ill be watching the flat bottom of this bag for wear and will have to be careful not to set it down on a wet or dirty surface. There are no feet or additional protection that I can see. The laptop sleeve in back snugly carries the thinner 15 MacBook Pro. Adding an iPad to the additional slot seems too tight especially with all the camera gear already on board. Really like how the interior compartments are deep enough to stow a lens like the Tamron 15-30 upright vs. laying it flat. Its a big bag and can get heavy fast!

[4.75 lb] My much loved 20 year old KATA sling bag was shredded beyond use and I had a really hard time finding a good replacement. This Think Tank bag is not just good, it is really great. Perfect size, great quality and such a logical use of space. My A7R4 fits nicely with a 135mm lens and leaves room for the 105mm and a 35mm. Loads of pockets for batteries & cards + Thank you B&H and thank you reviewers!

[Zipper] The Manfrotto PL-CC-197 appears to be a rebranded Kata Bag for large camcorders, but that's all right! I use this for my Sony PMW-300 and its' accessories and I cannot imagine using any other kind of bag.

[Universal] I used to use a Kata 88W but found that when i had it full it was difficult to lift on my own and didn't want to injure my back. So I got this lightware bag. Now used it on job about 10 times and I can say it is excellent. The build quality is excellent, the main compartment space is good and i like the two very large side pockets. I have packed x4 flash stands, x5 rod sections, x2 profoto D2, x1 5mx3m black cloth, clamps, stand extensions, 7m power cable extensions into this bag. And because it has wheels is easy to move around. The compression straps are great in case not using the side pockets. The main compartment zip is solid YKK. My only improvement would be it comes with dividers, and suggest making the wheels wider apart to increase stability. If you are a single photographer moving a lot of gear on your own this is a great bag!

[Yes] I bought this bag with the intention for using it with my newly bought mirrorless camera and as a secondary diaper bag (my wife already has a diaper bag but it occasionally gets quite heavy so this backpack is used to store my camera + share the load for the baby stuff). The ability to structure the inner compartments is extremely useful - I can comfortably fit my 13" macbook air, 11" ipad pro, a Fujifilm mirrorless with 1 zoom lens + 1 prime lens, toys, diapers, bottles, snacks etc. It is somehow not as spacious as the 20L Everyday Backpack / Backpack Zip but it is more than sufficient for my needs. It is also a great looking backpack.
