Videographers Can Win $7,500 Sony PMW-EX1 HD

RAMSEY, NJ, May 01, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Bogen Imaging, a leading distributor of top quality video support products and accessories in North America, proudly announces the Kata One Man Band viral video contest. The contest, which runs until July 1, 2009, gives all Kata One Man Band owners the chance to win a Sony PMW-EX1 HD video camera with a retail value of up to $7,500.

The Kata One Man Band, recently introduced at NAB 2009, is a highly-versatile bag designed for the videographer on-the-go. Comprising four models, Kata's new One Man Band offers countless options for organizing one's full array of video equipment and allows videographers to store their fully-accessorized HD camcorder without having to remove accessories such as a matte box, external microphone, battery, or transmitter. A tripod can also be strapped to the top of the bag.

The One Man Band utilizes a rigid yet lightweight aluminum frame for protection during transport, and multi-layered foam padding which provides additional protection for a user's sensitive digital gear. Furthermore, waterproofed Cordura(R), Toblerone feet and sturdy watertight zippers ensure that a videographer's equipment stays dry if the elements take them by surprise. Just one Kata One Man Band bag can effectively replace the various bags needed for on-location shooting.

The Contest
The Kata One Man Band viral video contest is open to anyone who owns a One Man Band. Users are encouraged to share their personal experiences with their bag by submitting a fun and creative video that documents what they're able to do with their One Man Band. Videos submitted must be uploaded to YouTube(TM), with a valid URL, and entrants must include a short description that highlights their experiences with their One Man Band. If entrants prefer not to submit a video, digital images (JPEGs), up to a maximum of three, can also be uploaded to qualify for the contest.

The most impressive or creative entry will be awarded a Sony PMW-EX1 HD Video Camera valued up to $7,500. A valid U.S. address is required to win the prize.
