The KATA Pro-Light Source-261 PL is a backpack designed specifically for an HD SLR kitted up with production gear and accessories. The dedicated design allows you to arrange your gear hierarchically. The large middle compartment fits your working SLR connected to a stabilizing system. A large padded pocket on the flap provides convenient storage and the modular Aeriform Dividers will fit anywhere you like in the remaining space and hold primary accessories or even an additional DSLR body. Two spacious storage areas open up along the sides and will organize and store additional lenses and accessories. Flat side pockets and one front organizer compartment will store accessories or personal effects you need close at hand, with additional storage space available in the large full-length rear laptop slot which will fit most 17-inch laptops.

The fantastic modularity allows you to make the Source-261 PL even lighter by simply removing components that are not necessary for your current task. KATA's simple yet ingenious Insertrolley System is an available option.
