A comprehensive interpretation of Kataminibee111ul camera package.

IT 168 Trial Evaluation I am an equipment party and a pet party, and I have a fanatical love for classic products and accessories. In my opinion, different occasions need different camera bags to appear tasteful, so I have always been regarded as one by all the people around me. Bitch? Someone, once, bought three different models of little savage camera bags and showed off his family on the forum. As a result, they are considered to sell bags. Like many people, my camera bag has a fever. I started in Le Shebao, then I entered Little Savage, and I entered Buckingham 306. Recently, I began to consider a camera bag, which can be carried around and used for work at ordinary times, with good protection. Look around and find Kata Mini Bee111ul mentioned in this article. But there are few detailed photos and comments on the Internet, so this article is written to benefit the latter.

▲ Kata Mini Bee 1 1 1-ul

Kata camera bag minibee series was released at the end of 20 1 1. As can be seen from the suffix UL(ultra light), this is a product that pursues ultra-light under good protection. Watch my language. First of all, I want to pursue good protection, and then I want ultra-light design. The implication is that this bag is really not particularly light. Official website checked, and the weight 1.855Kg is really not light, but I have to put up with it because it is handsome enough. At present, the official quotation is 2600 yuan, which will be cheaper, but it also catches up with the price of Buckingham. It's really not cheap. I put up with it because it's handsome enough.

Next, I will look at the details of the work step by step from the appearance, as well as the humanized design inside, and you will find that it is worth it. After all, Kata, an Israeli military brand, has designed police protective equipment before, and really grasped the small details.

▲ Top handle, thumb is just a piece of rubber.

Let's start at the top of the bag. A small detail embodies the intention of the design. The rubber of the holding part is not in the middle, but inclined to the first floor. When carrying a bag, the thumb just presses down and feels very comfortable.

▲ There is also a handle on the side.

This, er, hand-held on the side is rare, but when hand-held, the camera bag can be tilted to reduce the possibility of mopping the floor, and the yellow rolling lines on it are all reciprocating double layers, which are very firm.

▲ Classic rib guard design with kata inside.

Cataminbee 1 1 1-UL inherits the rib protection design adopted by kata's high-end products, which can increase the frontal impact of camera bags and protect the equipment. Let me take it out so that you can see it more clearly.

▲ The olive green design is very beautiful, revealing the style of the police.

This kind of rib is composed of ductile foam plastic and aluminum alloy thin strips, which will not break when bending, and the external pressure will be offset by this. I feel it has a certain protective effect when I actually use it, but don't take it too seriously, I still need to pay attention to it.

▲ What it looks like.

I showed them my ribs. The length basically runs through the front of the camera bag, which covers the whole equipment warehouse well.

What fascinates me most about this little wasp backpack is its carrying system. This is the classic design of aluminum alloy frame structure used in the previous bumblebee series, and this time it was also handed down to the little bumblebee. At present, no other brand has adopted this design. It is equivalent to packaging the whole camera on a frame bent out of an aluminum alloy tube, which ensures that the whole camera bag is not deformed and will have good support when carried on the body.

▲ The aluminum alloy frame is exposed and looks very domineering.

▲ Floating-point design to increase friction.

Especially after an arc, the camera bag forms an empty groove depression on the back, and the place far away from the back and next to the back is a layer of mesh structure with excellent air permeability, which not only disperses the stress on the back, but also won't hold your breath, so the air permeability will be good. Besides, there is a bright yellow kata logo hidden behind me, which is simply man show. This black material, bright yellow warning color design finally knows why it is called the little wasp.

▲ Design structure of back mesh backpack

▲ From the side,

Let's look at the shoulder strap. Two rubber shoulder straps are formed at one time, which are elastic and can be quickly restored after being pressed. The shoulder strap is hollow, which doesn't look as thick as the shoulder strap, and it looks much better visually. The length of the shoulder strap can be adjusted, and there is an adjustment at the top of the shoulder strap, which can set the degree of fit between the camera bag and the backpack. This is a design commonly used in mountain climbing cross-country bags, which has never been seen in camera bags. There are many floating-point designs on the back of the shoulder strap. Ahem, I know where you want to go. The function is to increase friction and prevent the shoulder strap from slipping off the shoulder.

There is also a lock on the chest, which can well fix the camera bag on the body. If you look closely, the material is the same aluminum alloy, which is tensile and looks exquisite, echoing the system from a distance.

Let's enter the camera loading layer that everyone cares about most. The camera loading layer of the wasp is open, especially from the bottom zipper, and then there is a translucent screen structure that opens from top to bottom, which can ensure that the camera bag can be opened quickly and the equipment inside will not fall out. This one-to-one design embodies the design details. In fact, the design of many camera bags has failed in details.

There is absolutely no need to worry about the load. Basically, it can hold the body of Nikon D3, a 70-200mm lens and two 77-caliber standard zoom heads, SB800 flash and a Fuji X 100 camera. This is a full load situation. I don't think I usually bring so much equipment, otherwise it will be too heavy.

It should be noted here that if I install it like this, the D3 all-in-one can be installed, but it will be a little top-notch. Kata official website recommended a handleless fuselage like D700.

The camera liner layer can be removed, and it can also be removed without a camera at ordinary times. In this way, the camera bag becomes a daily bag.

This is a front photo of the camera liner, on which a Ricoh GRD4 is placed as a size reference. The inner lining can be assembled by itself, which is very convenient.

▲ Pay special attention to the zipper on the front mezzanine of the upper and lower floors, which can be opened to connect the upper and lower floors.

After the liner is removed, it is convenient to decorate other things. This camera compartment design is my personal favorite point.

After looking at the equipment layer of the camera, let's take a look at other equipment layers of the little wasp. It is better than other camera bags in that you can have more layers of everyday objects, which improves the practicality of this bag.

There is a notebook loading layer on the back, which can hold a 13 inch mcbookpro. Of course, there is still room. I usually wear 1 2 magazines like men's wear, no problem.

There is a small pocket in the front of the backpack, which can't hold much. You can put some pens, mobile phones, car keys, work cards, paper towels and so on. You'd better not put your wallet on this floor, because it feels easy to lose it.

The middle floor is the main floor for storing daily necessities. There is no partition, but it is a big space for card machine, mouse, power supply and some sundries. It is recommended to put wallets on this floor. In addition, there is a soft layer with zipper between the bottom of this layer and the camera loading layer below, so that the zipper can be opened at any time and the upper and lower layers can be opened, which improves the space utilization rate and is reasonable and thoughtful in design.

There is a deep zipper pocket on the right side of the backpack, which can hold items such as mobile hard disks, and it is not a problem to put a small flash.

Finally, let me focus on the other intimate designs of this little wasp camera bag. What I like best is this unique zipper pull ring design. The bright yellow rubber layer is used as a zipper, which is in place and convenient and fast to open and take. You must have felt it.

Fabric coating is also a detail point, with a certain scratch-resistant and waterproof design. But when it rains, it is best to use the rain cover that comes with your bag. The rain cover can be used on both sides.

There are many accessories attached to the camera bag, such as rain cover, tripod cover, camera shoulder strap and so on.

The camera shoulder strap can be hung on the shoulder strap of the camera bag instead of around the neck, which is more comfortable.

The bottom of the little wasp camera bag can be equipped with a tripod base bag, which can be taken down and put away when not in use.

I wrote a lot at the end. I believe everyone will think this is a great bag after reading my previous introduction. But, er, this bag is also very expensive. The official price is 2600 yuan, which is destined to be a relatively small bag. But once you have it, you can appreciate many essence design functions of Kata brand.

▲ These have turned me into a small wasp. How can you put it in?

I don't want fans who have read this article to buy this little wasp, because it is not designed for most people. Only you agree with its unique design, are not sensitive to price, and have been pursuing a photography life suitable for both? Man show? Camera bag, that little wasp Mini Bee111-UL is a good bag you must enter. The reason why I wrote such a detailed trial article is because there are really too few comments on the small wasp package that can be found online at present, and the introduction is not detailed enough. I don't want more slutty men like me to miss this good package.
