A slightly downsized version of Kata's most popular backpack, the R103, this one is just as tough and well thought-out. Bright yellow internal dividers help you see your gear more easily; integrated camera clips on the shoulder harnesses take the weight off your neck. Despite its smaller space it can hold a pro D-SLR with an attached 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, a few smaller lenses, and a 12-inch laptop -- yet is small enough to carry on. A good choice for photographers of modest build. About $135.

Kata GDC Organizer Case OC-97

Kata calls this huge bag a light case, and it can certainly carry lights -- several flash heads (or monolights) with lightstands, cables, and diffusers. But with a few more optional internal dividers, the OC-97 can also carry a ton of cameras and lenses for photography in a far-flung location. And though it's soft-sided, it's rigid enough to stand on if you need a little extra elevation for a shot. A fully loaded bag this big is bound to be heavy, so it ships with Kata's Inserttrolley so that you can roll all those lights and cameras to the shoot. About $330. bogenimaging.us and kata-bags.com
