Ahhh, the joys of packing.  Will it fit? What do I need to take?

Thankfully, flying British Airways has the benefit of 2 pieces of cabin baggage, one of which may weigh up to 23kg.

I like to lay everything out on the floor and check it off on a packing list, making sure I haven’t forgotten something essential.  Items that are easily replaced, or non-essential will go in the hold, everything I need to shoot and download images will come with me, preferably in just the one bag.

What’s in the bag?

Camera kit for Swaziland and South Africa

• Top row, L-R : Nikon 80-400mm VR, Nikon 70-200mm f/4, Sigma 180mm macro, Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8, Nikon SB600 speedlight, AA batteries and charger
• Middle, L-R : Nikon D7100 with grip, charger and spare batteries, Nikon D3200, charger and spare battery, Canon G12 charger (using the G12 for this shot), Garmin sat nav, cradle and charger (loaded with maps for SA and Swaziland
• Bottom, L-R : Lens cloth and tissues, memory cards in wallet, binoculars, zipped mesh case with 1TB hard drive, card readers, USB hub, intervalometer
• Not in image : Canon G12, Tablet, keyboard and mouse

Did it fit?

Yes, although the AA batteries and charger are travelling in the hold.

Of course it fits!

The weight? 13.4kg, so around 10kg to spare, not that there is any actual room.
The bag is a Lowepro Vertex 200AW, I got mine here – Lowepro Vertex 200 AW on Amazon
