Carry-on luggage allowance in 10kg
Whaattt ???Originally Posted by Kumagoro
Once you check in checked-in baggage, it gets tagged and gets put onto a belt and disappears into the cargo vault of the aircraft
And you put it back together at the other end of the flight. That was what I was suggesting too - take one big backpack, and a smaller bag for hand luggage. Split them for check in so you keep your camera as hand luggage. Then at the other end put the smaller bag inside the bigger one and you're back to just carrying around one backpack on your travels.
It's all just Russian dolls reallyMy camera bag fits in my hand luggage bag, which fits in my backpack, so I can either carry everything on my back if I need to, or I can take just enough for whatever activities I'll be doing.
i have this shoulder bag that can house all my camera gear and tablet:

But it wont fit in my backpack for sure.
Yea i could probably ditch the 24-70 but when i went to philippines early this year i never had a 24-70 with me yet my bag still weighed over 10kg!
decisions decisions. Either way i aint putting none of my camera stuff in the holding!
@kal i may do that. take a small bag that can put my bits and bobs plus my dslr and i should be good to go. I have another small bag, Some grey small CK bag(free when i bought a perfume) that can house my camera gear but it has no padding though lol
Ditch the big thing for a nice Olly Micro 4/3rds?
Myself I always take two bags. Most recently I've been rocking this lovely thing:

I can stuff that in my main rucksack (an Osprey 80l thing). The tripod I strap to the outside of my big rucksack when travelling. When in a place for a day or more, I lock up my big rucksack using a PacSafe, and take just the Kata, with tripod sling. However I have a 4 stage carbon fibre travel tripod just for these sort of things. The Kata also has a good rain/heat cover that acts as a very good anti-theft mechansisim. when it's on your back. Obviously a crowded market or something, it's sling onto your front drill.

The reason I thought of two lenses,is since you could have a camera holster for the body and the 16-35MM or 24-70MM,and then use a hard or soft case for the 70-200MM,and use a normal ruck sack.
Don't be too scared with checked-in baggage. I once took a Kookaburra cricket bat from Europe to Asia and I only wrapped it with bin bag. It arrived at it's destination without any sort of damage
Hahahahaa. Hah. Hah.
Yeah. Having worked on an automated security system for baggage handlers, I can strongly advise you don't assume they will handle anything gently. That said, something that is in a clear plastic bag, they will treat with more care, than something with an overpack. A bicycle for example that they can see is a bicycle will get better care than having it in one of those £100 travel bags.
I would NEVER put any glass in checked luggage, without a proper hard flight case, these cost hundreads and are not designed to be bag style portable.
I'd imagine the airline and your insurance company will agree.

I have never had my carry-on weighted, only measured, which is just as well because I don't think it has ever been under 7kg in probably 100 flight. As far as company policy is concerned, I am pretty sure that 7kg (certainly no more than 10-12kg including the laptop bag/suitcase) is as much as you will get in Economy class. I've flown a few times with the Satori XP (not stuffed), domestically in Japan and to Korea without problems, though I was a bit worried. For anyone travelling in Japan, tripods are permitted as carry on, provided that the length do not exceed 60cm folded (security do measure). That said, I don't really have much issue with checking it in IF I have a check-in luggage.
Buy a hard case like a pelican, lots of foam and a stanley knife. Cut to shape and stick it in baggage. Done it dozens of times with guitars with no issues other than waiting for an extra 10 mins at arrivals.
Or DHL you gear to your hotel.
Like i said, You can put it inside the most robust case ever but that still doesnt guarantee you that it will arrive at your destination
Why do you think many airlines adive you to carry your laptop onboard the plane as par of your hand luggage?
Maybe. In my experience the airlines that allow customers to play fast and loose with the cabin baggage allowances also have very, very full overhead lockers and a truckload of sales exec types determined to milk it to the limit. i.e. their case and 4 litres of Johnnie Walker WILL go in, even if you camera is in the way.
Well here is my plan. Spare clothes, tripod, bits and bobs like chargers and spare batteries goes inside my fstop loka bag and checked in whilst i will use my small casual CK bag i got free from buying a perfume to put my actual camera gear and ipad with a bit of padding on it for hand luggage.
That should in theory help with the weight a bit better. Saya round 10kg and the bag will be smaller then the fstop loka thust giving the people at the airport the illusion that the bag is light and no need to check it.
The bag is small enough to be put in front of me at teh bottom of the seat. Like a large size womans bag lol.
Edit: i would be tempted to instead use my think tank retro 20 but when collapsed it wont fit inside my backpack later on
Travelling in the US I've never had an airline check the weight of my carry on. It's a big problem with the fees for checked baggage, everyone seems to try to put everything into a carryon to avoid the fee. They are all oversize and many have trouble lifting their bags into the overhead bins.
no the airline you are searching for does not exist...no airline allows to carry luggage more than 14 kg
The thing is, you can go into the duty free and buy loads of cases of whiskey, electronic gear etc etc all weighing more then my camera gear and they will let you through into the airplane fine!
Yet your allowed to buy gears over 14kg in the duty free?
