the bag alone weighs 7 lbs on my luggage scale, which is insane. i pack a laptop, camera, lens, travel tripod and im WAY over the weight limit already on most international flights. I'm not sure how people use this bag for travel
I always tend to overpack cards and batteries and a charger (in case luggage doesnt arrive on time) as well as cleaning kit. But i tend to overpack for the "in case i need" moments
On my last travel I took also my holy trinity: Sigma 16-28 f2.8, Sigma 28-70 f2.8 and Panasonic 70-200 f4 + a 50mm f1.8 for low light or portrait situations and a Godox V1 with remote trigger. With that I covered everything. I would have brought my Sigma 135mm 1.8, too. But I decided to leave it at home.
Thanks for the info :) How well does the R5 with battery grip fit into the top loft of the bag? It looked like you had some trouble zipping it fully closed?
Nice video… i also take a trinity + 50 f1.2👍 Fyi… the infographic on the bag was the wrong model. But also agree the PK bags are super nice and well thought out.
All the major camera manufactures offer some of the options I am going to mention here. My wife and I travel internationally a couple times a year or more. I've moved to an Olympus OMD1-MKIII and my wife a PEN-F. Similar lens selection but we go with the waterproof designs so we can continue outdoors in foul weather. It gives us similar reach in optics but lighter weight and size. And the PEN-F is terrific compact package with a 12mm (full frame 24mm wide angle) when we want a smaller package. Flash wise we use off camera flashes quite a bit for both improved lighting and to reduce shadows when we need to. Importantly, protective filters and polarizers which can help reduce glare. Also, I love the USB-C charging/downloading port.
A couple of things. Make a copy of your passport that you would carry in your wallet, and another copy which you place in your luggage. In Europe, your actual passport is a highly sought item, more so than your kit, by criminals. Lock it in your room safe. If you're hitting the local streets for impromptu shooting, minimize your kit. That will make you less of a target for theft and being hustled. Just take that 28-300 and a 50mm f1.4 in a smaller back or fanny pack. Some days and places, that fast-wide will be needed to get the pix you want. oh, and enjoy the place!
I love that it main compartment is against your back!!
Your assistant must be great shape to lug that bag all day. I would include a blower and lens cleaning stuff, but that is a great load out.
Great selection! I'd have another camera body added. I just like the insurance of a second identical camera body.
Sal, nice backpack!!! Your humor just kills me. 😂
Important to know the weight of your bag with all included.

Also, charges for the batteries. I also bring a spot meter and extra memory cards

Looking at the equal to A1 but Westcot brand. Recommendations?
I shoot Nikon D850
great video - I was curious why to you chose a Profoto A1 over a Profoto A2?
no particular reason. just easier if i wanted to work with it on camera. i love the a2 as well.
Hey, on the screenshot you show the 35L one but you have the new 25L
I'm surprised that you're not taking any gels - magmod or other brands to place on your lens or even speedlights.
That is NOT the P.M. 35L Backpack that you show in the video and have a call out of. It's the smaller P.M. Day Pack 25L
Why not travel with the A2's?
Do you bring a second camera body?
I do, a much smaller lighter body with the same lens mount.
Do you travel with a backup camera..?
I have mine and my wife hers. 15yrs never had a body go down.
