Just wondering if anyone has the HB-205 or HB-207?

Wanted to see how it fits the HVX. I have the R102 for my DVX but it is to small for the Big Daddy!
 
I have the HB-207 and I like it.

Pretty nice. The bag will take a fair bit of pressure before giving and at the bottom of the bag it is really stiff. The only thing I worry about at all is the section right on top of the handle. The bag isn't very stiff there and the camera could take some pressure. Really though, as a carry on it has worked really well for me and it's easy to transport on my back. I've been happy!
 
Kata--

Please stop marketing your small backpacks with DVX100's.



For anyone thinking of getting an R-102 or R-103 backpack, be aware that a DVX100 DOES NOT fit as shown.

It puts much pressure on the eyepiece and microphone, so much that the onbard mic has bent down. This, even without a 15" laptop (Kata markets a Powerbook and DVX100 in their photos, this does not work ).

I love their quality, but can't stand the bad markting.

Looking into an HB-207.

Is HB-207 suitable for carry-on? The HVX fits in my Petrol bag which came with my PD150, but takes up virtually the whole bag. It is not a backpack, though, yet it is carry-on.

I own the BP-502 and love it! It does all I need it to, with a little extra room for additons.

About the purchase: I bought it a little over a month ago from B & H. I caught it at the right time, as they had the 502 for $169, a good $60-80 cheaper than anywhere else. I also got Kata's InsertTrolley for free!

Since that time, the price for both is $349.99. I haven't seen a deal that good since.

I've taken two flights with by HB-207 since picking it up and it worked fine as a carry on. Little snug putting it in the overhead, but it worked. I was on a 757 both times though. On a puddle jumper you'd likely have more trouble.
