A great video bag Mar 08, 2008
This fantastic bag is a perfect fit for my DV production gear: A Panasonic DVX100 with several mikes, a wide angle extender and several smaller items. It is a tight fit, though, but I wanted to have the ability to carry the bag on board commercial flights. The next model up, the HB-207, is slightly larger with a top pocket and a laptop computer sleeve, but it's out of the question as a carry-on item.
The shoulder straps could use a bit more cushioning but two automobile seatbelt covers wrapped around them have solved the problem for me. I recommend you look into the Porta-Brace line of pro video backpacks before buying. They're the industry standard for video and film production and their products match or better the Kata's features at nearly the same price.
Finally, another good point is that the bag doesn't look too flashy or expensive, so you won't walk around with a 'rob me' sign on your back, like you would with some other video packs. The weather cover does have a very large Kata logo printed on it, though. Overall a good investment.

Great, but don't overload it if you're flying! Dec 28, 2007
I originally bought the KATA 502 backpack because I was worried this one wasn't big enough, but the 502 is TOO BIG. it's over airline specifications and just generally gigantic. This one (205) is a much better sized option, with plenty of storage space.
In the main compartment I can comfortably fit my DVX100B, extra lenses, charger, batteries, two microphones, tapes, external hard drive, filters, and a whole mess of cables. My 17" widescreen laptop (in a sleeve/case) fits easily into the back and is well protected.
I have always gotten through airport security just fine, but I did have trouble the first time I tried to fit it in an overhead compartment. Now it's fine, I just learned not to overload the outside pockets when flying (empty them if you can). It gets pretty heavy anyway, so think about your back too!
Generally, a well constructed and designed bag. I bought it to eliminate the number of extraneous bags and cases I usually travel with, and it's perfect for that. Only took off a star because of my overhead troubles.
