Fits into suitably equipped Kata bags (with straps across the back) to make a heavy shoulder bag or backpack an instant rolling bag, with an expanding/collapsing handle, like that of a rolling suitcase. Also, the width of the outer wheel set can be expanded or pushed back in. High quality, and worth the price if you have heavy gear bags. I use it for both a Kata pack bag and the large shoulder bag.

This is a well designed and tough product...as you would expect from Kata. Being 6'8" allows me to really appreciate the extra few inches of extended length vs. those shorter ones that constantly clip my heels mid-stride.

Very well made product. If I had one complaint it would be the loose fit with the Kata HB-207 backpack. The product is very durable. It folds easily for storage. The retractable wheels make it easier to navigate small spaces.

Using the Kata Insertrolley is a real back saver. I imagine it would also be great for photographers that suffer from arthritis, muscle, and joint pain as well. I use it to cart my gear around the city, which can get pretty heavy sometimes. Though I doubt it would be practical for trails / hiking and other such related activity. I had a back injury from a horseback riding accident that comes back to haunt me on occasion, so I have to be cautious about how much weight I carry in my camera bags, and that was restrictive. The Insertrolley was the answer!

I use both Messenger and Backpack type camera bags with the Insertrolley, and they are both easily accessible while on the trolley. It has made my total photographic experience much more gratifying.

I've only had it a short time, hence only the 4 star rating.

Works great is solid like other KATA products ! jus one thing dosent fit @ airplane, unless you detach your bag....

I bought this trolley to lug around my heavy (30 pds) photo gear back pack on air plane trips. An earlier trolley I had bought at the airport turned out to be too unstable and tended to flip over. This model is very stable even when the outer wheels are not pulled out; with the wheels extended, it is rock solid. I attach the back pack with a simple Velcro strap. A great product.

Originally I read a review that stated that this wheel trolley was big and too wide, but I risked it anyway. I completely disagree, it fits the size of the Kata backpack perfectly and it is solid made. I have dragged it in smooth and tough terrain and it rolls with ease. I am a very satisfied customer.

My Kata camera gear in the bag weighs more than 40 pounds and gets old as a backpack fairly fast. This trolley is perfect for my bag and a small carryon with clothes in it. I think it is a little overpriced but so are Kata bags. I guess you get what you pay for. This trolley can take a beating. The extendable wheels make it hard to unbalance. It's an essential part of my travel organizing.

If you were going with something this large I would recommend a backpack with permanent rollers. This thing is huge and would be unwieldy dragging through the airport. I sent it back.
