Nice video. I would be interested to learn more about how you pack personal gear like clothing to travel by air along with your camera gear. What strategies have worked for you?
@Gloryvisuals22 күн бұрын
It depends on the length of travel, but for short (1-2 day) gigs I just stuff my clothes in my Carhartt backpack I've used daily for 5 years and is still good as new 😆 beyond that we usually divvy our clothes up in the gear bags, but I'll be the first one to admit our system is less-than-perfect for that haha.

I have had to check my peli 1535 (smaller by a bit) under a plane on 2 occasions to small airports in Virginia and Durango Colorado. I had it loaded with lithium ion batteries and they made me hold them in my lap. Tried all the tricks and it didn’t work. Even checked on one of them and it did in fact not fit overhead. So be mindful of how big the plane is going to be. It was a pain for sure. I have started to add camera bodies and glass to backpacks just to be safe for travel gigs
@Gloryvisuals2 ай бұрын
We actually literally had our first experience of an overhead bin being too small last week after posting this haha. We had even flown into this extremely small airport before and not had issues, but the bins were smaller this time. We ended up strapping one of them into an empty seat, and shoving the other under the seat in front of us and putting our feet on top of it. The stewardess wasn’t stoked about it but I told her there was NO WAY we could check them. I guess the play would be having an even smaller carry-on case if you KNOW you’re going to a super small airport, and keeping batteries and the absolute essentials in there. But you live and you learn I suppose lol

@@Gloryvisuals batteries can catch fire if they touch metal and it creates a short circuit. NPFs have those metal connector ends that allow energy transfer to the camera.

You spend a huge amount on gear. Moisture and fungus are the old time enemy or all photographic gear. Unless you can spend a vast amount of money for a controlled environment, you must preserve your optical gear in a "dry" environment. It can be as simple to "not let them be on display for your clientele", and to keep them in an air tight case full of Silica Gel. It is not just the Sensor your must protect. The circuity and metals of your gear must be protected from the outside world. If your rental house does not have it, or enforce it on you as a customer, then don't hire it.

Hey Kevin! Thanks for the input. We have never had issues with fungus or moisture - our equipment is stored in a relatively climate-controlled area in airtight Pelican cases. We also don’t live in a metro with great rental house options, so we tend to buy over rent and pass those rental fees along to our clients.
