It is also worth mentioning that the main compartment has side-accesses on both sides which, combined with the flexible shoulder strap system, allows this bag to be configured as a sling-bag for right- and left-handers. The space available for your camera gear is really huge: I could easily fit it my Nikon D90, a flash, a 200 mm super-zoom, a 50 mm prime, all my laptop cables and my Gorillapod without having to apply any kind of force -) The larger of the two main compartments includes a couple of hook-and-loop separators which allow you to customize where you want to put your camera, lenses, flash etc. On the inside the bag is split into 2 larger compartments (+1 on the back for the laptop) and 2 outside compartments for smaller things like your purse, keys, filters etc. The belt section of the bag also holds the attachment points for the shoulder straps. And since they can both be tugged away in the back wall of the bag you can also get a one-shoulder sling-bag out of it.
It sports detachable straps for both shoulders which can be attached separately either in the usual backpack configuration or criss-cross. The Kata 3N1-33 is a combination of a sling-bag and a backpack and can be transformed from one into the other within a couple of seconds. So when I stumbled upon Kata I started looking once again for a camera + laptop bag that might be usable for my conference-use-case. While not being really a priority I kind of always looked for such a combo bag whenever I come across a bag manufacturer that I hadn’t known before. The laptop compartment was simply to tight to protect the camera and laptop from each other and the bag didn’t offer any kind of space for the aforementioned goodies. The problem here was, though, that this only offered a mediocre level of protection for the camera while making it completely in-accessible the moment I put something besides the camera and the laptop into it.Ī couple of years ago I bought the Crumpler Match Maker for exactly that use-case but after only one try I sadly had to put it into the cellar. Up until now I used my trusted Jack Wolfskin Torrent 24 backpack with some separators salvaged from an older camera bag.
For me that’s a camera bag with laptop compartment and space for some goodies (like conference t-shirt, pens etc.). For quite some time now I’ve been looking around for the ideal conference bag.
