Hi wooziewrangler the gear if I am flying and have to take a load of stuff then the peli case will have the non essentials such as spare battery's, lighting gear, video and sound stuff and maybe a few lenses that I know I can live with out. But I will always take in my camera bag the essentials which would be two bodys and lenses covering 14 up to 200mm and a flash so that if I arrive at a location and my peli does not arrive I will always be able to do a decent job.

Hi Scrivphoto, unfortunately i am freelance so all this gear is owned and also paid for by my self, if i was a staffer like some of my colleges then you would have all your gear paid for.

thetramsession, the straps are made by op/techUSA they are designed so that you can run with the cameras on your shoulder due to them being elastic on the top

Hi ImAnubis

Cheers for the comment. I switched to Nikon because I used to have the Canon Mark III's and was never happy with the focusing on them. When the Mark IV came out the price for them were astronomical!! At that time Nikon were offering press photographers in London an amazing deal to switch to D3's like for like for a very minimal fee compared to me parting with £9000 on new Mark IV's

But I have played with the Mark IV and they seems very impressive it was more of a cost issue really.

I like how you pull out your second camera and go "this is my D3s, uh, sorry, it just a D3..."

as if pulling out a d3 would disappoint anybody :o

Does someone buy your gear for you ?! I could never throw my equipment around like that.. each time you knocked gear together I cringed !!

For press you can use you iPhone or something...

Don't keep the bipods together like that. If you lose one AGAIN, you have another in your closet or where ever.
