Kata is so sure that you will love their new Lightweight Collection of bags, that it is offering a money-back guarantee. If you find a competitor bag that is similar (with the same level of protection, similar capacity, features and functionality) but which weighs less than your Kata bag, buy it and Kata will take back your Kata bag and return your money!

The Kata Pro-Light Resource-61 (KT PL-R-61) is part of the multi-featured professional collection from Kata. Designed to provide the best carrying, storage and working solutions, this member of the Pro-Light range of products will cater to the smallest detail of a professional Photographer’s and Videographer’s needs.

One of the highly anticipated additions to the new D-Light collection are Kata’s Capsules. These bags, designed for HDV camcorders, are built with two of Kata’s newest available unique features: Aeriform Foam and an Aluminum Skeleton.

Manfrotto is honored to launch the Manfrotto School of Xcellence, with two great webinars from two top mentors: Bill Frakes and Joe McNally.
