I use this bag to carry a Panasonic HPX-370 with a power supply, 3 batteries, 7 inches monitor, microphone, cables and there is again free space. I knew it would be a bit too big, but I choose it anyway for the price. Very well done. Good quality. And you can secure your camcorder with the security belt inside. Yes I would recommend it.

Lots of pockets and customizable dividers. Durable quality construction.

I've had a couple of different Kata bags over the years and all I can say is that they make great products. Great build quality; very functional. This bag ended up being too big for my gear (I have a DSLR rig), so I ended up selling it. Wish it would have had more compartments/dividers for other gear.

I tricked out my Sony HVR-Z1U HDV camera with a Cavision Hard Shade Matt box kit along with a Cavision shoulder pad and rod system which, obviously, added a lot of additional size dimensions to the camera. Since I didn't want to disassemble all this (just lazy I guess) I took the measurements and set out to find a camera bag that the camera would fit into. This is the only bag I could find! And, all the accessories fit to boot! And, it has a dolly system that comes with the bag!! Bonus number one! And, it was on sale - bonus number two - and the clincher for me to purchase the bag! You wouldn't want to use this bag as "checked baggage" on a flight but it sure does the job for most storage and local shoot needs.

This bag is large. If you need the space to store gear, this one will do it. I have a Canon XF305 complete with Vocas Matte box and follow focus mounted together that easily stores in this bag. Plus it has room for my wide angle adapter, 4x4 filters, Wireless microphone package, shotgun mic and many batteries. The case is well contructed and I like the fact that it stands off the ground on nice rubber feet strips. Very good carry handle and the trolly is easy to install and carry the bag aws needed. Although the next size down probaly would have carried the camera just fine, I opted for the larger bag because I could carry more in it. I was tired of having several bags go on a shoot with me where now one will do. However, because Kata decided that this large bag was for longer cameras like the JVC 250, there is not a lot of extra dividers or padded pieces. It comes with a "bean bag" to help cradle a long lens, but I wish it had 2 of them - to pack around the camera body a little better. I don't use the insert in the back for a laptop, but instead found it very good for filters and a shotgun microphone. A few other positioning pieces would have made this a 5 star bag. (This seems more common with Portabrace products.) SOme people have complained about the side pockets not holding enough. They aren't able to expand and hold items as well as a Tamarac still photo bag does, but they hold cables, lens cleaning supplies, and plenty of other accessories. This doesn't really bother me because if the pockets did hold more and I packed them full, I probably never lift the darn bag. Overall it comes highly recommended.

This thing's huge! Carries my XF300, 7D with 6 lenses, all the accessories I need and with the wheels isn't terrible to lug around. I may still get a smaller bag for when both cameras aren't needed.
The dolly is a bit flimsy when the bag is fully loaded but still works fine.
Seems durable...only time will tell. Needs more dividers though.

We bought 2 of these, they are huge, have extra dividers (available seperately) to really customise the case, and have a "built in" trolly.

Huge space & quality build for not much $$

At the moment I am using as a miscellaneous gear bag. Love the "trolley" it comes with.

Ordered this large bag because we wanted to leave our mattebox on our Sony EX3 camera - fits perfectly with room to spare. It's also very easy to customize and has lot's of extra space for all of our batteries, wireless lav kit, shotgun mic, headphones, charger, xlr cables, bnc cables, etc.

Great Bag, very large & roomy. I use it for on location lighting, wedding lighting gear. I added my own velcro dividers from a previous bag which works great. Quality construction. Bright yellow interior makes finding items easier.

I bought the largest OMB bag to carry my DSLR & a lot of my accessories. While a smaller bag would probably do the job, I've been tired of carrying 3 different bags for all my camera gear. With this one bag I can fit: My DSLR w/FF and mattebox, laptop and accessories, 8 batteries, on camera LED light, headphones, slate, extra lenses, cables, etc. and I still have a lot of room left over.

The only nitpick I have is that it could use a few more storage dividers which you do have to buy separately.

Great products, but need more compartment foam to organizing the equipment.

Comments about Kata OMB-77 One Man Band Bag, Large:

Instead of using this as a camera bag, I carry mics, cables, mixers, DVD recorders and other equipment that I use on a shoot. Lots of room inside for this stuff but, for my use, it would be nice to have more compartments. I don't use the trolly, preferring to use my own which has much larger wheels. I'll put the trolly to use somewhere else.

I've heard nothing but great things about Kata Bags, but being the very skeptical person I am and find it hard to part with my money, I had to do my typical research and deliberating. I AM MORE THAN SATISFIED with my purchase. With the customizable dividers it doesn't matter what camera you have or what attachments are on the camera. Because Kata's detail to construction, I feel completely confident when transporting my camera, whether its down to the local park or across country. A must have for the "Persnickety-Videographer".

This bag has it all. It protects my gear while keeping everything neatly organized. I often work in a "run & gun" situations and the bag helps give me piece of mind that I can have everything in one place.

It fits all my gear perfectly except for my tripod which I didn't intend to include in the bag in any case. I have a Sony EX1 mounted on a Shape Spider Shoulder mount and it fits perfectly. the inclusion of the dolly in great as well. I recommend this product for any videographer looking to put everything in one bag.
