The Pro-Light Beetle-282 PL backpack opens from behind and the camera gear within is secured by a full zippered flap which also sports flat storage pockets. This flap can be fully or partially opened according to need. The main compartment will hold a large amount of gear such as; 2 to 3 D-SLR camera bodies with 4-6 lenses (up to 300 mm), flash and many other photo accessories. The pack is partitioned with modular Aeriform dividers. Along the back panel is a full length, top access, Elasto-Guard 17" laptop pocket and thanks to the rear opening and securing gear flap, it is possible to simply open the backpack and pass it through airport security scans without removing the laptop from it's compartment. Travel documents and personal effects can be stored in the 4 flat external pockets along the sides. Sneak-a-peek name tag holder is a discreetly located name tag that pulls out when identification is required.

There is an Aeriform camera strap which is light, flexible and airy that can be used individually or interconnected to the two designated loops on the backpack harness. The pack has an advanced ergonomics harness system that consists of a Gecko Harness made of molded EVA foam harness straps that has 3D tapered thickness. Micro hatch texture secures it in position firmly and comfortably and its shapely contour fits the body organically, a soft molded 3D foam back for comfort, support and ventilation and a Clinch-Clasp Sternum Strap that has an Aluminum clinch connection. It also consists of an adjustable and removable waist belt that will fit itself perfectly to a photographer's shape and build, 2 specially designed connection strap loops for the included Aeriform camera strap and an EPH (Ergonomic Photo System) that is designed with connection tabs to enable using other Kata products.
