current travel gear, 5.8 kg total

current travel gear, 5.8 kg total

this is my current gear bag for travel. I wanted most equipment to be well-made but replaceable, so I don't drop a lot of money on any one item, but I do a lot of research to find the best cost and weight options. I no longer take my home laptop, instead using a much cheaper Chromebook, storing files on the cloud if I have a fast connection. otherwise I have a external drive for photo backups away from the SD cards. the bag is inexpensive but well-made with a lot of positive experiences mentioned in online reviews. the GoPro is something new, I will probably try it for some countryside bike rides. I'm not much of a videographer, but I do like to play with timed exposures, and 0.5 second delay and 32 GB of space to fill up could be a lot of fun. the Canon 600D/T3i I chose because it is $230 less than the 60D and weighs a half-pound less. I've always preferred to buy one of the cheaper bodies with the same sensor as the higher-end models, and I would rather put serious money into the right lenses over a more expensive body. what you sacrifice for weight you accept in the cheaper and less-study body housing.
