Beetle 282 is Part of “Studio in a Backpack.”

02/10/2012

Forest McMullin, a photographer of almost 30 years, recently blogged about why his Kata Beetle 282 is the backpack part of his “Studio in a Backpack.” Some of his favorite features of the bag include:

  • the signature bright yellow interior that all Kata bags have making it easier to find your black camera gear
  • it has a customizable interior so you can set it up however you want
  • if you put the bag down to get gear out, the side that touches the ground isn’t the side that you then have to put back on your back (keeping you clean which is nice)

Read more about why the Beetle 282 works so well for Forest on his blog. 

While Forest was traveling around Europe in 2010, he needed to be able to take all the gear he would need in just one bag. Some of the gear he carried in his bag included a Manfrotto lightstand, Gitzo tripod with head, reflector set, flash and a whole lot more. You can see a complete list of what’s in his Studio in a Backpack on his blog entry about the subject.
