14.01.2013 at 22:52John Paul, your packing list is quite extensive 4 cameras, 3 lenses, 2 computers and 3 hard drives!). How many bags and what sizes (roughly) do you take? With airlines limiting you to 1 carry-on and a “personal” item, if you carry more than 2 bags, how do you pack equipment that will be carried in the main baggage hold? I am about to fly to Europe for several weeks and concerned about the number of bags, and the potential for equipment loss. Thanks. Peter

15.01.2013 at 18:33There are two lists there.
I’ll have to review how they are presented.
I travel with two carry ons – one for camera and one for portable computer (now on my shoulder).
Two camera with three lenses.
Only my tripod and a universal power strip gets checked with my clothes.
Even then, airlines started getting fussy with the weight of carry on and my rolling camera bag though under size is overweight.
It’s not easy moving gear these days.
Seth Resnick has one big shoulder bag for everything.
It’s too much weight for my back but he hasn’t had any trouble yet.

A shoulder bag for my computer like the Exchange Messenger, which fits on top of the roller bag, so I have to carry it on my shoulder as little as possible … but always when boarding as they tend to flat the two together more often.
