A well crafted bag that is near perfect July 2, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
After searching through reviews online, I decided to purchase the HB-207. Users had lauded its comfort, ease of use, and versatility. The bag is very sturdy, comfortably designed, and has the capability of holding a ton of equipment. In fact, there are times when I have loaded down the bag to the point that it didn't meet airline carry-on weight expectations. Nevertheless, because it is a backpack, I've never been asked to weigh it or check it at the airline counter.
The bag is a bit large for casual use. I would not recommended it as a day pack due to its bulky girth. The bag is also not as convenient as a traditional shoulder bag when it comes to accessing your gear. Despite its size, however, it still comfortably fits in an airline luggage compartment.
The rear laptop compartment fits a bit snug. If you are using a Mac or a small, slim computer, you should be fine. But if your computer measures greater than 15 1/2" x 11" x 2", you'll be shoving and prodding just to get it to fit.
In conclusion, the bag's pros consist of sturdy, well-crafted design, comfort, space, versatility, and, to a degree, inconspicuousness. The cons might be it's lack of easy access on the field and its girth, rendering it useless for day trips. But the bags pros far outweigh the cons.
Great Travel Bag November 3, 2006

I purchased this bag exclusively for air travel. With this large backpack I am able to safely carry all of my camera gear, as well as a 17" laptop. This pack is also great for hiking and evenly distributes the weight of your gear , and you strap on a tripod, which makes for great landscape photography.
Easily fits into airplane overhead compartments.
 Fantastic price for such high quality September 15, 2006

Love this backpack! I had previously owned a Tamrac large backpack and replaced it with this one. The balance, ergonomics, and cosmetics are much better on the Kata. I really like the yellow interior which makes it easy to find black lenses and accessories quickly. The side pouches are great for tripods and/or water bottles. The inside is roomy and easily reconfigured. The top handle is very useful and I like the fact that I can add the optional trolley when I know I'm going to be lugging the bag around the city all day. The laptop compartment is great for laptops that have a screen smaller than 17" - otherwise the fit is a bit tight. You won't regret buying this one.
Excellent quality January 3, 2007

Being an independent filmmaker, I own a lot of photo and video bags and cases. PortaBrace, LowePro, Pelican, Tamrac, etc. This is my first Kata product and I am very impressed. The functionality and quality is excellent and I really like the way they implemented their system approach to accessories. This is one tough and versatile photo backpack. They are also very competitively priced. All-in-all, a great product.
Nicely designed, well made. January 27, 2006

I just received my HB-207 two days ago and so far I am very impressed. This is my first camera backpack ever. It seems very well made, has lots of room and is very comfortable on my shoulders. It is very well balanced and easy to carry by the handle on top. I like the option of attaching a tripod or monopod on either side or the back. All that at a price that is highly competitive when compared with better known brands.
