Comments about Kata W-94 GDC Waist Pack - for Digital or Video Camera with Accessories (Black):
The very first morning while I was heading out to shoot a football tournament, I discovered this pack is water resistant. Or in my case, coffee resistant. New thermos resting on top of my pack, my freshly filled coffee leaked out while in route to the shoot. The pack saved the day. This shoot lasted from 8am till 10:30 pm. The starter bench on the side lines is where I kept my extra gear safely inside the pack. About 9pm frost started developing on top of the pack but again everything was safe inside.
My Canon 7D with 70-200L lens attached fits safely inside with room for at least one strobe... batteries, snack etc.

Comments about Kata W-94 GDC Waist Pack - for Digital or Video Camera with Accessories (Black):
I bought this to wear while doing wedding photography. Typically I use a Lowepro attachment belt and just hang my extra items. I thought this would be easier and I would be able to move around better. It is a bit bulky - which is understandable considering the size, but my big problem is that none of my lenses or flash fits properly. I normally use a 24-70 2.8/Nikkor and a 80-200 2.8/Nikkor, SB900 and a few other attachments and card cases. I couldn't fit anything in properly and I ended up using it as an assistant bag. It worked out pretty well for her. If you have smaller lenses this may work for you. If you are using it for an all around bag, I wouldn't recommend for a pro-SLR, it's more for a rebel or lower level Nikon (exclude D300 and up).

Comments about Kata W-94 GDC Waist Pack - for Digital or Video Camera with Accessories (Black):
I was looking for something light, but strong and with as much space as possible. Specially when I am keep moving and shooting in crowded situations, equipment most be watched all the time and not practical to carry a big bag, but need to have sorted equipment at hand for different situation.
I got my W-94 and right away I was able to fit my D300 + 70-200/2.8 lens attached to the body, and a SB 900 speed light , all together at center space. Also a 17-55/2.8 lens at one side (tight but did fit) and a Wide lens + a TC 1.7 at the other. Plus the little spaces for CF, ipod, extra battery, etc...
That is as best as it can be.
It comes with a should strap that is very useful in order to manage the weight and could be integrated to some backpacks from the same brand.

Comments about Kata W-94 GDC Waist Pack - for Digital or Video Camera with Accessories (Black):
I purchased this bag to carry my backup DSLR body, additional SB-800, a small HD video cam, my external laptop HD and still had lots of room for additional items. I do not use this as a waist bag; I attached it to my Kata R-103 rucksack! I thought this would be a great way to add more storage to my backpack, thinking they would fit in the overhead airline compartment & it did!

Comments about Kata W-94 GDC Waist Pack - for Digital or Video Camera with Accessories (Black):
This bag might be for you, it is all according to what you are carrying in it. I don't think it holds everything that it says it holds. I use a canon xti, tamron zoom lense, flash, canon g7, and a couple of other small accessories. It fits but fits real tight. It would be nice if it had a extra support strap to go over your shoulder or something. It tends to lean back when its behind you and if you keep it snug to stay up then it's hard to turn around to the front. If you can stand some weight on your mid section than you might wanna try it surely if you don't have as much camera equipment as I do. I'm gonna try it out and see if it works well outside.
