The new 123-GO series completes Kata's Sling Backpack collection. These unique entry-level bags are a wonderful addition to Kata's current Sling Backpack line up. The new 123-GO is offered in 3 different sizes to take into account different needs for different users. Whether the photographer is a beginner with an entry level DSLR and minimal kit or has several lenses with accessories, there is a 123-GO bag to suit his/her needs.

All three sizes:
• Offer 3 carrying styles
• Are completely symmetrical for right- or left-handed Quickdraw use
• Come with an Elements Rain cover

The entire main compartment is completely customizable with the divider system. If a right sling is preferred then the bag is configured with camera grip on the left side and vice versa. This will allow easy access to the camera on the side preferred by the photographer. Whichever way the 123-GO is configured, there is plenty of room for other lenses and accessories in the various pockets and compartments. There has never been a more versatile and organized entry-level bag than the 123-GO!

The Tripod Holder system is available separately for the 123-GO Sling and is an excellent addition to this carrying solution. This Tripod Holder allows the photographer to carry a small field tripod for stable shooting. Easy three-step installation allows the user to quickly take off or install the holder without inhibiting the Quickdraw function of the bag.

The 123-GO provides ultimate freedom by offering three carrying options. Each 123-GO can be worn as a sling, on the left or right shoulder, as a backpack, or for the steadiest carrying solution, in an 'X' position across the wearer's chest.

• In sling position the bag easily swings around from back to front. This allows for Quickdraw access to your main camera and backup lenses and accessories as well as fast and easy changing of lenses.

• In backpack mode, the weight of the bag is distributed across both shoulders preventing fatigue on long shooting treks. The included chest clip and hip strap help relieve part of the weight from users shoulders and increasing comfort.

• The X position has the benefits of a backpack in that the weight is on both shoulders but still allows the Quickdraw access of the sling by detaching one of the straps using the buckle located at the hip.
