Product Description

Product Description

The compact R-101 is designed to hold a Digital SLR body with lens attached and accessories or a Mini DV camcorder. The rear padded compartment will hold a small laptop (up to 12) or additional accessories. The special design gives quick, separate access to the camera in the central compartment, while the rest of the equipment surrounding it remains secure. The R-101's ergonomic harness includes a unique shock absorbing system. The special design of the KATA Rucksacks gives quick, separate access to the camera + lens setup in the central compartment, while the rest of the equipment surrounding it remains secure. Additional accessories, like flash-unit, filters, charger, cables and personal essentials can be stored in the spacious arched lid compartment, the 2 outside pockets and the central mesh/vinyl pocket. The ergonomic harness includes a unique cushioning and shock absorbing system, which allows for optimal ventilation, and weight distribution. The Rucksacks include a well-padded dividing set, which allows you to organize it to fit your requirements and if needed KATA's extra Modi-Vers Kits are available. A tripod can be carried on one of the sides. Especially designed Camera Straps can be attached to the D rings on the harness and will take the camera load off your neck. Full protection on the main zipper and KATA's unique cover make sure that your sensitive equipment is well protected from the elements.

This review is from: Kata R-101 GDC Rucksack for DSLR Camera w/ 200mm Lens Attached or DV Camcorder (Electronics)

I've had the Kata Rucksack R-101 Backpack now for over a year. This is my first review.
I am extremely pleased with this purchase. I can carry my Canon Rebel Xti with Canon Image Stabilizer 70-300mm telephoto lens attached, a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle lens, Canon EFS 18-55mm standard lens, Nikon Coolpix 7900 Digital Camera, Canon Vixia HG 20 High Def. Camcorder, Battery Charger for Xti & 3 batteries, Battery Charger for Nikon Coolpix 7900 & 2 batteries, 3 filters for Xti, Dry Pack for Nikon Coolpix 7900, 5 compact flash cards and a 3-piece lens care kit. The only thing I could not manage to fit in was the power adapter and cables for the camcorder. The Kata Rucksack rides comfortably on my back and the padding inside provides a safe nest for all this gear. After filling up the Kata Rucksack, I called my homeowners ins. representative and took out rider to insure my cameras, camcorder and lenses. With the added insurance and the Kata Rucksack R-101 Backpack I feel my camera gear is safe and secure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too small, August 12, 2007

This review is from: Kata R-101 GDC Rucksack for DSLR Camera w/ 200mm Lens Attached or DV Camcorder (Electronics)

I was looking for a backpack that was a little smaller than my Kata 102. Although the quality (as with all Kata products), it was a little too short and when carrying my camera equipment, it actually felt heavier than my Kata 102 since it didn't seem to balance well on my back. I therefore reluctantly returned it.
