I'm a GIRL!
I'm an experienced traveler and always try to pack light. That's getting very hard to do with all the gear I've acquired recently. How do you all pack the following items for carry-on? My concern is that the American Eagle flight between Miami and the caribbean islands is an ATR72 jet. I'm not sure how big the overhead bins and under seat space are.
I need to check the following:
2 regulators with long hose configurations
2 Diverite canister lights-slimlines
1 Sony camcorder HC5
1 Ikelite housing for camcorder
1 still camera
1 still camera housing
1 flash
I have an Armour regulator bag where I have been fitting the 2 regs, and 1 can light. My husband is sure he can fit a second light in that bag. it's pretty big. The still setup has been traveling in a backpack inside a padded bag. Both the camera/housing/flash fit in a small bag (it's not an expensive setup).
So I need to find a home for the new video setup and the still camera/flash (not big, they both fit. But I was hoping for ideas on how I can consolidate the cameras into one bag. That way we only have 1 carryon per person. Plus the laptop.
Maybe a rolling carry on? Maybe I can fit my light in the same bag so hubby can carry the regs and his light and not have to carry my light as well. Any ideas?
My selections here are limited. I would benefit from make and model recommendations from divers who have the same list of equipment as I do.
