The rear padded compartment will hold a small laptop (up to 12-inch) or additional accessories.

The special design gives quick, separate access to the camera in the central compartment, while the rest of the equipment surrounding it remains secure. The R-101's ergonomic harness includes a unique cushioning and shock absorbing system, which allows for optimal ventilation, weight distribution. A five-point adjustment mechanism helps take the camera load off your neck. Specially designed Camera Straps can be attached to the D rings on the harness and will also take the camera load off your neck (they can be turned into a regular camera strap by connecting to the provided extender). A detachable hip belt can be connected to the bottom back loops that are designated to attach the R-101 to KATA's EPH system.

The R-101 includes a well-padded dividing set, which allows you to organize it to fit your requirements. If needed, extra Modi-Vers-Kit is available. Full protection on the main zipper and KATA's unique cover make sure your sensitive equipment is well protected from the elements.

KATA R-101 Camera Rucksack Key Features

TST (Thermo-Shield-Technology)

TST is a state-of-the-art solution that gives the perfect protection for the digital equipment while creating an extremely light product.

1. The outer surface of the TST is thermo-formed in a protective "ribshape" construction (Patent Pending).
2. It is made of Super Nylon -- a Mil-Std, double cord, water and dust proof, high tenacity and abrasion-resistance fabric.
3. Underneath, a cross-linked, closed cell PE+EVA shield is impact and shock protective while providing comprehensive insulation against cold, heat and moisture.
4. The internal padding provides the necessary cushioning and vibration reduction.
5. The lining is KATA's unique Yelloop material which is fabricated especially for the anti-scratch and anti-static requirements while allowing divider attachment for internal partitioning.

Plenty of Storage for Accessories

The R-101 includes a well-padded dividing set, which allows you to organize the main compartment to fit your requirements. Additional accessories, tapes, batteries, filters, charger, cables and personal essentials can be stored in the spacious arched lid compartment, the two outside pockets and the central mesh/vinyl pocket. The rear padded laptop compartment can hold additional accessories.
