What's In My Bag

I am off to Kamchatka next month.  This time there is camping involved, long exposure astro, wildlife, landscapes (of course) and hopefully some drone action.  I also am upping my video production value with moving time lapses and slo mo footage.  So with all this on the table I really had to think hard about all the kit I was going to take. 

I weighed in at 8kg Carry On and 17kg Checked.  To see how I did it, keep on reading.

CARRY ON

1. Camera Bag - Koolertron canvas backpack  - no insert       - 662g  
2. Surface pro 4 + SSD + mouse                                                - 1500g
3. Sony A7RII - body + battery                                                    - 741g
4. Batteries and things with batteries in them                           - 903g
5. 100-400mm lens - filters on the ends + lens flipper              - 1737g
6. 16-35mm lens - filters on the ends                                         - 686g

   In case some one wanted to weigh my backpack, I also travel with a hand bag which can fit the 100-400mm lens for quick weight redistribution.
