A rucksack type design is generally not brilliant to work out of on location, but of course it's much easier to actually carry around. On the whole I think a bag like the R-103 is the best all round solution. The Kata is not the lightest of bags but it's comfortable and protects the equipment extremely well.

Liked the yellow interior a lot, just wondered how heavy the larger bag was and whether it will work as carry on with normal airlines. I saw a small Kata bag just yesterday at The Flash Centre.

Personally I try to ensure that my kit is always stored in the same places, so it goes back in the bag exactly as it came out. Then I do a quick count before the zip is closed. One point that has helped me on location recently has been using a Kata bag with it's bright yellow interior, since it's easier to see black equipment when the light is less than perfect. Most bags seem to have a black or dark grey interior. I can’t say I’ve ever done the same think Neill, but it’s an easy mistake if you are tired, rushed or more usually both.
