Gear Review- Kata HB-205 hiker backpack

This blog is on the kata HB-205 hiker camera backpack, which I purchased recently for my last shoot in Uganda.

I did quite alot of research and ended up choosing the kata 205 and am glad I did. It worked really well for the shoot and was the perfect size to fit in the overhead locker on the airplane. I also purchased the trolley wheels that came in handy on the massive journey from New Zealand

to Uganda. My Panasonic AG-HVX-202EN fit perfectly as well as spare batteries, microphones, and camera rain cover. I am sold on having a backpack vs. a shoulder bag as I was able to shoot with the backpack on my back and didn't worry about having to leave it on the ground as a theft temptation. It also looks discreet, and is super comfortable even fully loaded. I highly recommend the Kata HB-205 backpack and definitely feel like I made a good choice.
