New Gear

The One Man Band Series by Kata

Now Available
at
North American Camera
The One Man Band is the ultimate mobile production solution for the field videographer on the go. Whether in transit or shooting, use a single One Man Band bag to replace the many bags typically required for field work. Each of the four One Man Band models is designed to hold an HD video camcorder with accessories such as a matte box, external microphone, battery and transmitter attached. The height of the bag allows videographers to carry a fully accessorized camcorder for rapid shooting access.

The main customizable internal compartment includes dividers and detachable pouches to create the perfect bag for your unique gear setup. It will hold and organize all the necessary equipment in just the one cohesive bag and you can carry along your tripod by strapping it to the top. Numerous external pockets let you organize and quickly access your smaller accessories. Carrying options include interlocking handle, provided shoulder strap and a rear sleeve which will let you slide in the Kata Insertrolley (not included with all models) for an easy carting option.

As with all Kata products, protection is the key feature with the One Man Band series. Sturdy construction with an aluminum frame and multi-layered foam padding provides protection for your sensitive digital gear. Shooting in the elements is also not a problem with the One Man Band. Waterproofed Cordura®, Toblerone feet and sturdy watertight zippers ensure that your gear stays dry.

There are four models of One Man Band available; OMB-72, OMB-74, OMB-75 and OMB-77. Each One Man Band model presents a perfect combination of light weight and protection that has become the signature of all Kata products. The four One Man Band models are designed to fit todayʼs most popular HD video camcorders.
