Digital camera reviews of Kata KT D-3N1-30 Sling/Backpack (Black)
Digital camera Review: A bag for everything!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great bag that I can put all my gear in. It can hold a gripped 50D or 5D Mark II mounted to a 70-200 2.8 IS in the quick release pouch then store 4-5 more lenses in the lower compartment. Up top is enough room for a HD camcorder, tapes, dust blower, battery chargers, and whatever else you might need (I carry everything).
I love that it's a sling with a quick access pocket. I can swing it around my chest, grab my camera, even switch lenses without a table or any assistance and without putting stuff on the ground. I see a lot of folks at the zoo with standard camera backpacks that mean you'll either miss the shot trying to get the backpack off to get the camera out or you'll be stuck carrying the camera all day because you've already missed too many shots (and learned you need a Kata).
The strap system on this bag is really something. The bag hides its second shoulder strap until you need it. With it, you can go backpack style or cross the straps like an X across your chest. I like that because you still have a sling - thanks to the quick release buckles. Another great thing about having two straps is if you're a lefty you can switch the entire bag around and enter from the other side (something you can't do with the Slingshot). And there is the belly strap which provides even more stability and comfort and are also hidden unless needed. Oh, one more thing, there's the trolley system for you photogs that want wheels.
The only things I'd change on this bag is the storage for the rain cover and I'd include the tripod cover. The rain cover is small, so it's not a big deal to tuck it somewhere, but it'd be nice if it was hidden in it's own little cubby like everything else is on this bag. The tripod holder was being sold for a ridiculous $50 by one seller, but now can be found for $15 so it's not a big deal anymore.
It is a large bag, a few inches larger in each direction than the 3N1-20 so keep that in mind. For me, the 20 won't carry enough stuff. But, for days when I'm only carrying my camera and one lens I'll be picking up a Kata 214 slingbag. Kata's build quality is incredible and their designs are really inovative.
Enjoy!
Summary of Kata KT D-3N1-30 Sling/Backpack (Black)
Why choose between a backpack and a sling when you simply can pick up one of the new Kata 3N1 bags and get the best features of each type of bag? These unique bags provide ultimate freedom designed with three carrying options in one bag: right-handed sling, left-handed sling and backpack. Quick access to a camera has never been faster with a sling that offers a quick release and one-handed bag opening for camera access. Left-handed photographers can celebrate as they discover the first photo bag that can be configured as a left-handed sling. When not in a situation that requires quick camera access, convert the 3N1 into an ergonomic and comfortable backpack. All these product features come in a package that includes the unique combination of protection, light weight and style that has become Kata?s calling card. In sling position, the bag easily swings around from back to front providing quick draw access to your main camera & accessories via a quick release clip with single pull opening of the camera compartment door. In standard backpack position and ?X? position (both straps crisscrossed over the user?s chest) you can comfortably carry your equipment for long distance walking when needed. The included balancing hip strap helps take the load of your heavy equipment off your shoulders. The 3N1-30 is designed to fit a D/SLR with a long range zoom lens attached and 5-6 extra lenses with accessories.Cases & Bags
