If I had a nickle for every time I’ve been asked about my equipment…

So, the purpose of this post is first to answer the question of what I use and secondly to serve as a guide so that my assistants know exactly how to make everything fit inside the backpack. I’ve tried many many variations and this one seems to work the best for me. When the backpack is fully loaded it weighs about 34 pounds, and it is designed to fit perfectly under any airplane seat. Be sure to view the image on Flickr to see the notes describing everything.

The backpack itself is made by ThinkTank Photo, and I’m a huge fan of their stuff. They make top quality gear for just about everything a photographer could need. I use their Pro Speed Belt system while I’m shooting, and it has made my job so much easier. Maybe that’s worth a post of its own…
