With the introduction of the Kata Bumblebee Backpacks in 2010, Photographers had a chance to buy the first products to that truly met the promise of Lightweight Protection.

These backpacks quickly became the go-to backpacks for professionals and amateurs who where truly passionate about their photography. Features such as the Gecko Harness (injected straps made to get even more comfortable as the bag was is used) ensured an ergonomic fit. Use of durable ripstop nylon, aeriform foam, the spin guard and parachute zipper pulls ensured that these backpacks were as lightweight as possible while still being protective.

If you liked the original Bumblebee backpacks, you will love the latest introductions to the line. For those who want a smaller Bumblebee, Kata is introducing the new Minibee. These backpacks will be available in both Pro-Light and Ultra-Light version.
