Gear acquisition syndrome is a
Gear acquisition syndrome is a fun past time for any filmmaker, but when it comes time to travel and actually take all our film equipment somewhere exciting for a job, it’s probably something we immediately regret.
Whether you're a wildlife cinematographer, a documentary filmmaker, or just someone passionate about telling stories through a lens, knowing how to move your equipment safely and efficiently is a skill you've got to master.
One of the most important things to do Before you even pack your bags, is to plan ahead for your destination. This includes everything from researching what the drone laws are, understanding the rules on how many camera bodies are allowed into the country, and if there are rules on what the maximum value of camera equipment brought into the country is.
I usually travel with 4 items or bags. The first is a good quality camera bag, one that is large enough to fit all my equipment on location, but not big enough to not be allowed as carry on. Then I travel with 2 pelican Air travel cases, and I’ll touch more on those later on. My fourth item, is a ski jacket. No matter how tropical the destination im travelling to is, I will always bring a ski jacket, as these guys have pockets big enough to fit in a few kilos of gear without raising any eyebrows.
Travelling with gear is such a pain, but with proper planning, the right travel cases, insurance, and a few cheeky tricks, it can remove a lot of the stress. But even still, getting camera equipment on a plane is never fun.
