About this bag

The Kata H-14 GDC Holster Case is a 1680 denier ballistic nylon holster case made to carry a digital SLR and accessories. It utilizes the protection of TST materials while allowing for quick access to a digital SLR camera and zoom lens set. The camera is held in place by looping the divider around the lens vertically or positioning it horizontally and creating a bottom compartment for an additional lens or flash unit. The removable media kit holds batteries and memory cards. It has two exterior side pockets and three accessory pockets that will store filters, cleaning kit, light meter, cell phone, PDA and more. The H-14 case has a double-sided Elements Cover in the lid; black side out in rain, and in sun reverse to the silver side for heat reflection. When wet or dirty, store the cover in its mesh pouch and hang out to dry. It is carried by a handle, a shoulder strap or a 3D-mesh loop for an optional waist belt. The holster features a double closure system; a two-slider zipper and a one-hand operating quick closing buckle.

Although the H-14 Holster($78.95) can be used alone (with it's included B-shape shoulder straps), I've decided to attach it to the TS-308 Sling Case Carrier ($46.98) for additional storage space and carrying comfort. The two can be attached together securely by their interlocking inserts and velcros. The H-14 alone is basically a longer version of the H-12 featured at cambags.com, which the two side pockets are long enough to hold a Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 IS lens. The main compartment is long enough to hold the 30D with a Tamron SP 24-135mm Lens and still have enough space below for me to add a piece of Kata's reinforced separators to separate the Flash diffuser and squeeze pump. Alike the H-12, front flap has storage space for filters and front pocket of main compartment has space for a battery and memory card holder (included with H-14), as well as a 30D spare battery and some lens caps. The S-308 has two zippered pockets and one velcro pocket for wallet, cellphones, cleaning solutions, or other misc small items. The front side has a padded large zippered pocket with enough space to hold the CP-E3 Battery back as well as the Charger for 30D's battery. You may also include pens, notepads, maps, and other misc items in that large pocket.

What works

Quick access to everything (Pros of a sling/shoulder bag), and enough space to carry decent amounts of equipments, without having to carry a backpack. Very comfortable to wear even with the heavy weight of equipments such as the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 IS

Room for improvement

Does seem a bit large and thick to be a sling bag.
