But lets get back to what gear we took and how we got it there. We started off packing the ThinkTank Airport International Rolling Case with 2 bodies, Q-Flash with batteries, Nikon 300 2.8 and a few other random lenses. Greg and I both packed our ThinkTank Shape Shifters with a Pro Body, the Hebrew Trinity and other lenses. I utilized the Airport Check In to cary my lap top and Ipad on the plane.
We met all guidelines as we each had one cary on bag and one “man purse”. We had no problems at all going through security in a timely manner.
Now, you may ask how much is all of this gear worth? The answer to that is roughly $45,000!!!! Keep in mind that 4 pro bodies will run that number up pretty fast (see list below the video)
