KATA's HB-207 Hiker Backpack features a level of protection you haven't seen before. KATA's Thermo Shield Technology (TST) protection safeguards the camera compartment and the bottom of the case while keeping it light. The extensive main compartment easily accommodates a variety of DV camcorders such as the Sony HVR-Z1, HDR-FX1, PD170, Panasonic DVX100A or JVC GY-DV300. For photographers, the main compartment easily accommodates 2-3 SLR bodies together with up to 8 lenses (up to 400 mm f 2.8).

A rear compartment will hold up to a 17-inch laptop. A separately accessed top compartment will hold a still camera with lens installed for quick removal, or a variety of accessories. A large rear laptop compartment, two soft TST open pockets for water bottles or a small tripod, and an assortment of pockets all work together to provide the ultimate carrying and protecting solution for outdoor photographers.

The main compartment features a unique internal dividing system, which allows for a broad diversity of equipment set-ups, while ensuring everything is easily accessable. If additional division is necessary, additional KATA Modi-Vers Kits can be purchased. A tripod can be attached to either the front or the side of the backpack with KATA's included tripod holder. The HB-207's advanced harness system is designed for complete adjustment of all components: shoulder straps, 6-point adjustable waist belt and lumbar pad, ensuring the perfect ergonomic fit for each individual carrier. When not in use, the harness can be neatly folded out of the way for easy storage or to allow for the addition of the included KATA Insertrolley.

KATA HB-207 Camera Backpack Key Features

KATA EPH (Ergonomic Photo) System Compatible

The EPH System allows you to set the configuration required for the mission. You can attach two or three products that are EPH System Compatible into a set: The HB-207 Backpack together with the T-212 Torso Pack will give a combination that has high storage volume and optimal weight distribution, for example. This is only one of more than 15 different possible combinations.

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.
