Kata 3n1 Camera Bag

Kata 3n1 Sling Camera Bag–award winning sling pack perfect for the adventuring photographer

If you are looking for a great camera bag that will carry you SLR comfortably and with ease, than getting a Kata 3n1 is probably a safe bet (meaning Three in One, get it?). This pack has not only won awards from several different photography publications, but pretty much every review of this bag you find out there is nothing short of glowing. Improving on previous designs of their photo packs, the new Kata 3n1 seems to appease almost everyone with their great, easy-to-use features.

The Kata 3N1 Sling-Backpack, part of Kata’s DPS (Digital Photo Series), features a unique TST RIB structural protection for a digital SLR with battery pack & mid-range zoom lens attached as well as 3-4 lenses, flash, and other personal gear.

The unique new 3N1 design makes this the first bag that can be used as a sling bag for either right- or left- handed or as a full-function backpack. While some complain that a messenger style sling pack isn’t always right, though neither is a backpack style that can make for difficult access, the 3n! Kata can do both. The 3N1 is available in three sizes–depending on how much gear you plan on regularly toting around with you.

The Kata 3 n1 also includes a rain cover that fits in its own pouch when not in use and expands over the entire bag when needed. In addition, it has a ton of great protective features that ensure your gear stays safe even when in the field. The bag also meets carry-on standards so you can take it on the plane with you, loaded with your gear and even a sandwich (since airlines certainly don’t feed you anymore).
