Let me try to explain:
I currently own a Tamrac shoulder bag,but in traveling the shoulder bag was a little cumberson(weight on one shoulder) so I started researching a backpack. Didn't think that I wanted a bag with a laptop compartment but after much debate the extra space would be nice. I looked a several bags to include lowpro fastpack 250 and 350 and Mrock reading rewiews and comments on each one from this site and several other sites. The kata bag is slightly larger inside and outside than the 350. Lat but not least was the price I got a great deal on the Kata vs any others |

I LOVE my dr-467i! It is unbelievable how much I can fit in this little bag. I always carry off-camera lighting gear and I'm able to fit my D5000 w/ lens, 2 extra lenses, 3 flashes (2 large, 1 medium), TTL cord, Phottix Strato remotes, Lumiquest LtP softbox, laptop, gray card, Opteka speedgrid, filter wallet, gel wallet, batteries, ball bungies, misc. accessories and either a tripod or my small light stand attached to the tripod attachment. I flew to Phoenix with all that in there this week.
It's amazing. The only prob is that it gets really heavy because it holds so much! brad Last edited by DigMe; Dec 31, 2011 at 12:52 PM. |

Oh yeah, I also jammed a folded 32" trigrip reflector in the laptop compartment for a shoot this week.

Very interesting to hear all of this. Thanks Guys! I am leaning towards the Lowepro 350 myself.
Given the size of this bag, where you able to use it as "carry-on"? I am assuming so. |

Actually, NotDads, I can carry it on as a personal item and still have a carry on bag. I can fit this backpack under the seat in front of me with all of the above packed in it (except for the lightstand.. that was in a checked bag for the flight).

That's awesome. After reading some reviews on Amazon, I may be changing my mind. I'll admit I like the looks of the Lowepro more. But this seems more functional after reading everyone's comments.
Thanks for responding everyone! |
