I have purchased many bags before. They were either too bulky, too small, did not have place for the laptop, no place for power supplies, etc. They seemed to be either for the "gear hauler" or a sports bag sold to photo enthusiasts. This one strikes a great balance. You have space for photo gear and some "stuff". I travel a lot, but not primarily for photography. This bag allows me to carry my laptop, electronics, power cords, power supplies, DSLR, a couple of lenses, flash, memory cards, batteries, Kindle, etc. comfortably and conveniently. It protects the equipment and is well made. Please note that the camera equipment is stored at the bottom of the bag. This provides good protection but is not intended for "fast draw and shoot" scenarios. I remove and sling my gear around my neck when I get to where I want to take photos. Mine has collected tens of thousands of air miles and is still going strong.

This is a concise bag for storage and carrying your camera, accessories and a 15" laptop. It also has a rain cover and a strap so you can attach it to your handle on your travel luggage. I selected the DR 467i instead of the DR 467 because it has a storage compartment that recesses for my monopod or tripod. It is a backpack that will fit all of your traveling needs.

A Photo Bag for Traveling
By Mazzy
This is a concise bag for storage and carrying your camera, accessories and a 15" laptop. It also has a rain cover and a strap so you can attach it to your handle on your travel luggage. I selected the DR 467i instead of the DR 467 because it has a storage compartment that recesses for my monopod or tripod. It is a backpack that will fit all of your traveling needs.
The Kata DR-467i Digital Rucksack features a unique TST RIB structural protection for two D/SLR with mounted lens, 3-4 lenses, flash etc. + personal gear, laptop and small tripod. By removing the padded bottom camera insert you can easily convert this rucksack from a camera bag to a daypack when not shooting.
The main compartment holds a D/SLR in top grip position while the modular dividers system will separate, organize and protect lenses, flashes and other accessories to suit your particular needs. The middle separating divider easily zips open for full bag access. The dedicated rear padded compartment will protect a laptop or hold paperwork. The large top compartment will hold personal gear or additional equipment and the internal pockets and mp3 player pouch will allow you to organize your personal effects as efficiently as your photographic gear.
Ample external pockets allow quick zippered access to supplies and a water bottle/ tripod support pocket pulls out from a side pocket. A loop on both shoulder straps allows you to connect external pouches to carry a cell phone or mp3 player. Included rain cover folds neatly away into an integrated pocket and can be hung out to dry on the small buckle next to the handle, or tucked away for storage in one of the pockets.
When carrying, a chest belt and balancing waist strap are available for ultimate comfort and the rucksack is also compatible with the Kata Insertrolley if wheel along transportation is needed. EPH system compatibility allows you to attach either a torso pack or waist pack for additional carrying options.
