The Kata D-Light Capsule-185 DL Case (Black) is stylish, functional lightweight, protective case that is designed to carry a JVC HD series, Sony EX3, Canon XL-H1 and similar size camcorders. The exterior is made from anti-rip nylon exterior with a TST (Thermo Shield Technology) rib structure that provides protective zones for the camera where it will most likely be impacted by shock, vibration and an Aluminum Skeleton stave which arcs across the mid section provide structural protection. There are Aeriform interior dividers that are made of perforated super light laminated and reinforced EVA and EPE foams, and formed and shaped rigid honeycomb reinforcement panels that provide protection for the contents. The interior is made of Yelloop that is a bright yellow material designed so that the contents can be viewed with ease.

The Capsule Case has ample space on both sides of the camcorder to easily fit cables, chargers, batteries etc. When closing the bag a rigid tongue will automatically align the two palms for easy zip-up. There is additional storage for accessories or personal effects available in the full length external pocket. The case includes a lens pillow which fits snugly under the lens to perfectly stabilize the camcorder and a rain cover for protection in rough weather conditions. It is carried by a removable, adjustable shoulder strap with shoulder pad or an interconnected handle.

      Comments about Kata D-Light Capsule-185 DL Case (Black):

      I've been looking for a lightweight and affordable bag for my EX3 camera and have seen nothing but good quality wear from Kata, so I was excited to see a bag built by them that was made for my camera and that was in my price range. It's got a cool design and fits everything nicely— it even has a rain cover that folds itself up into a compact ball cleverly. Overall very happy with the product!

      Comments about Kata D-Light Capsule-185 DL Case (Black):

      This is a nice bag and plenty of room. The only drawback is you need two hands to open and shut with the current zipper design. You will need one hand to hold the zipper tab at the bottom of the bag and the other to close it.The bags needs to be split wide open to access everything your carrying.Otherwise is has nice pockets and well padded.

        We have some JVC- GY250HD cameras that are used most of the time in studio configuration. We have been using them more for field use and needed a case.

              Comments about Kata D-Light Capsule-185 DL Case (Black):

              I've been using this bag for a few weeks, and it seems to be working out great. My Sony X-3 fits well, and the bag seems to be protecting the viewfinder. The storage space for other gear plus the camcorder isn't overwhelming, but it's not inadequate either. The bag's light weight is a definite plus, and it carries very easily.

              The one thing I'm not wild about: the zipper ends (on both ends) on a little tongue-like fabric extending from the bag. It was designed this way, I think, to allow the bag to open up super-wide, making it easy to pull all the gear out quickly. But I can just see this zipper extension pulling away from the bag or otherwise preventing the zipper from working a few years down the road, which will be a real drag.
