Travel Bags For Women
Best way to travel with my Nikon D90?
This is my first camera of this size/type that I purchased for my trip to Hawaii coming up soon (wedding/honeymoon/vacation) =)
One of my concerns is how to travel with, and pack this camera as a carry on? I'm a very petite woman and will probably have my laptop in my carry on bag also, not to mention my wedding dress.
Two, no three item that are expensive that I really don't want to damage. I feel the camera is too large and bulky for me with the 18-105mm lens, but want to have beautiful photos.
Tip and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Getting another camera is not an option.
MP,
I try to travel as much as possible and rule number one is that my photo equipment MUST be with my carry on luggage. What I have done is bought a carry on that is as big as regulations allow (can very slightly with different airlines). My carry on is has wheels so it can roll, a must with the weight of my carry on.
Then inside my bag is a somewhat narrow compact backpack style camera bag which is a Lowepro brand bag and the model is called the flipside (I think the Flipside 300 mdoel). In that camera camera bag is two cameras and anything else valuble I can squeeze in. The rest of the carry bag space is filled with a travel tripod and some other items, a little clothes and some cords/chargers.
I wish there was still room for my laptop in the carry on bag but at that point there is not. So I have have a laptop bag with the laptop computer, ipod, other person items. You are allowed along with your carry on bag a purse, briefcase, or laptop case.
On two rare occasions, I have boarded a smaller place with smaller overhead storage and was told I would have to check in my carry on bag - so I just take out the backpack camera bag for the overheard storage and let them check the carry bag without having the cameras in it.
When I arrive at my destination I do have in my large checked in luggage a smaller camera to carry my cameras.
Wedding dresses are a matter I think I can be no or of little help with.
Below I provided some links that may be of help; ebags site is great for research styles and types of luggage, 2 sites to very popular camera bag makers (Tamrac & Lowepro). Photo.net where you can post questions to other photographer who deal with travel issues. Also a few photo sellers in case you need to price shop an item.
Have a great trip, and wedding.
