It sounds like Laura BC has some great advice for traveling with camera gear. Here’s a summary of her essential travel tips:
-
Apple AirTags: Keep at least two—one in your checked suitcase and another hidden in your camera bag for security.
-
Keep Valuables in Cabin: Always carry your valuable gear and chargers with you to avoid losing essential items during travel.
-
Travel Tripod: The only piece of equipment she checks is her tripod, while the rest fits in a discreet backpack.
-
Certified Power Banks: Buy CCC-certified power banks when traveling to countries like China to avoid confiscation at security.
-
Know Battery Regulations: Check the battery policies of airlines, especially regarding power banks and lithium batteries, to ensure compliance.
-
Preloaded Data: Instead of purchasing a local SIM card at the airport, arrive with data already set up.
-
Efficient Charging: Use a travel adapter that can charge multiple devices at once, which is especially useful during layovers.
-
Dual Storage Setup: Use both an SSD for immediate editing and a sturdier hard drive for backup during your trip.
-
Quality Headphones: Invest in a good pair of headphones to enhance your travel experience on long flights.
