From the gushing press release you would have thought it was the most revolutionary piece of camera equipement ever. But its just a bag. A rather nice bag, admittingly, but just a backpack in which to store your camera at the end of the day.
Words such as 'lifestyle', 'unique', 'cutting-edge technologies', are all very well and it may well be an 'unprececented design' and 'ergonomic' but what I need to know is how much it costs and what can be fitted inside!
Distributed exclusively in North America by Bogen Imaging the Ergo-Tech Collection offers a "futuristic design. Each bag features designated safe guard zones, where extra internal, modular padding is added to protect the gear within. In addition, safe guard zones also feature Flexi-Shield, a technology specifically designed for the Ergo-Tech collection. Flexi-Shield, Kata‚s new, high-frequency, molded flexible reinforcement, appears in the form of ridges on the exterior of safe guard zones for ultimate protection. "
1. I have to say I have a kata R-103 backpack and one of their small camcorder cases and they are far and away the most comfortable best designed bags I have owned. Everything is adjustable, but remains well protected and the bright yellow interior makes finding things quick and easy (no more digging in a dark bag.) I would say these bags are bullet proof, but since they make body armor I don't think they would agree. :)
