KATA BAG - Prism U

If you are anything like me you like to take care of the things you have. This way these items work when you need them to and you don’t find yourself replacing things all the time. When we do our photos hoots for Eastern Dirt I bring a large amount of photo gear. Usually all packed nicely into a hard camera case which has neat little compartments for everything I bring. The tough thing about the hard case is it doesn’t fit on my back very well! This means I have to stuff a camera and a few lenses into a backpack.

This in itself isn’t so bad until you start thinking about all the bouncing that goes on during a ride. While my body doesn’t mind this (actually it longs for it) camera equipment really hates it. I have tried camera backpacks from camera equipment manufacturers and they tend to be very big and bulky, not what you want for an entire day of riding. Along comes Kata bags who’s motto is “It’s not enough that the equipment fit the case, the case must also fit the user” with their line of camera bags.

KATA Bags sent us the prism U from their Ergo-Tech Camera Collection which provides just enough room for me to fit one DSLR body, one 200mm lens and two wide angle lenses plus flash cards and some other small items. Put it on and you hardly notice it is there. The outside is very well padded so small bumps won’t damage your gear. I would not drop this bag with any equipment in it. The prism U is not designed for absolute protection but as a compact carrying device it is outstanding! Measures L11.8”, W5.9”, H17.7 Weight 2.3 lbs
