5.0 out of 5 stars I love this case with the (optional) trolley or without, November 18, 2007

I initially purchased the Kata OC-84, this case's older sibling that comes with the trolley, but when it arrived it was just too big for my usage. (The size of a large suitcase.)

This one holds just what I want for a shoot: Two DSLR camera bodies, two or three (smaller) lenses, and enough accessories for most assignments. If I brought the 100-400 zoom, though, it does take up a little less than half of the case. You are able to fashion the interior dividers to deal with just about any combination of gear.

The Kata people make body armor, too, and you can tell by the exterior of this product that it is meant to last. There is insulation that protects the interior temperature-wise as well. And when I had to check the case (not with valuable camera gear, only because I am more worried about theft), it came through without a single mark. While heavy when fully loaded, the included wide shoulder strap spreads the load to make carrying easier than one would expect. This bag comes with a 5-year warranty.

This review is from: Kata KT OC-82 Small Photo Organizer Lighting Case (Black) (Electronics)

I have several bags from backpacks, sling, solo style for camera & lens only, to this Lovely Unit.
Backpacks are Ok while out on foot, but do not have the protection for daily thrashing about on daily chores.

I know when this bag is holding $7000 of camera gear that my worries or over.
The front panel snugly holds my $2500 15" Apple PowerBook just right.

The main cover holds all the small stuff from cables to large documents in easy to view access.

It is not a BackPack.
Mine starts out with the 1DsMkII and 3 lenses, 540 flash, video camera, G5 Canon for the flip out screen for the hard to get views.
70/200 f2.8 L IS, 15mm, 24/70 f2.8 L IS.

Extra batteries for devices, charger, etc.
Yes, it's heavy, but you never know where you might end up on tour during the week, and if it's left behind even a day, you regret it.

One smart feature this series has is the bright yellow interior.
No more lost items hiding like a dryer sock.

In the way that only Kata Bags can provide you have durable rugged and all weather conditions bag for both your camera equipment and your laptop gear all in one. I have no complaints for this bag it is well worth the extra money.
