Camera backpack/rucksack advice needed.

I have tried out a few back packs for my camera gear, and settled on the lightweight Kata 3N1 series - the 25 and the 35. For me the best features are the ability to access everything in the main compartments without having to remove the backpack, the ability of the backpack to be a conventional two strap back pack, or for it to be a one sided sling bag (either side) or as a crossover strap backpack. There's also a waist strap. Plenty of space for all my needs in the larger bag, but sometimes I like to travel light with the smaller bag. The dividers are versatile as with most bags, laptop slot is provided plus plenty of other pockets and a separate top compartment. Fantastic backpacks.

Since then, the brand has been taken over by Manfrotto, and the two backpacks are known as the Pro Light camera backpack 3N1-26 and 36

Couple of video ads here explain their versatility:
First the original 25 and 35 which I have















You Tube




Next the latest versions which I don't have

I bought the 25 but before buying the 35 I did try out a Chinese imitation. It was a false economy, poorly made and with cheap material so I binned it and bought the real McCoy. Very happy with these two bags.

It might also be worth looking at Peak Design's equivalent backpacks, similar concept, but although I have their messenger and sling bags, I will be sticking with the Kata/Manfrotto back packs, they're that good.

In any event, I recommend the larger; you'll need the extra space for whatever comes next in life!
