Hello TP
OK, I have an embarrassing confession to make, I have never flown with any camera gear whatsoever, in fact I haven't flown for many years. I am completely unfamiliar with procedures and what is safe to take/leave behind, what I can take on board as hand luggage, what I can I expect to put in hold. I'm not even sure if airport x-ray scanners can damage equipment. This year I will be required to travel to Brussels and San Diego and this will be on a regular basis (three times a year). So obviously I want to take the camera but want it with me so I can keep my hands, eyes and ears on it as it's quite costly.
My kit (except tripod) fits entirely into the Lowepro 302AW Slingshot. If I lighten the load then I can get one camera, one lens and filters in the Lowepro 102AW Slingshot. Unfortunately my tripod (Manfrotto 055CXPRO4) will have to go in a roller case with clothes etc. as that wont fit anywhere else even though it can be carried in its own Manfrotto carry bag.
Any tips, tricks or advice will be very helpful. Anything I should be wary/careful of?
Thanks
