Journeys of a Hybrid Gear Update
A lot of PCN readers checked out Gail Mooney’s blog post about the gear she would be taking on her round the world trip with her daughter. She is now half way through her three month adventure and is reflecting on those choices from the field.
I received quite a few comments – publicly posted and otherwise and many people remarked that I was taking too much. . . .The main verdict is – my hunches were pretty much on target and I didn’t over pack. Sure it’s a lot to carry – but there are two of us and it all fits into two medium sized photo backpacks.
Bringing two camera bodies is a must if only from a back up point of view but when shooting stills as well as video, it’s a lot faster to have one dedicated for video and one for stills . . . . And bringing two laptops has proven to be a very smart move.
The article is a good follow up so be sure to read it and while you are there, catch up with Gail and Kelly’s exploits the first half of their trip.
