How do you take your camera equipment on a plane?
Discussion
When I go on a flight I tend to carry my SLR bag as my hand luggage. Only a smallist Crumpled shoulder bag.
50D and 17-35 up top, 70-300, batteries, cards, charger, filters etc jammed in below.
Leaving a macro lens and a speedlite at home.
I feel I need something bigger, ideal for carrying a camera, but with room for other items. Tablet, documents, somewhere to chuck a coat etc.
The missus takes a hard suitcase made to maximum hand luggage sizes and jam packs it with anything she sees fit due to ample room. Typically no room for my things, leaving myself with a bag a 1/4 the size maximum allowed, I feel I'm wasting an opportunity with such a small bag.
I'm assuming that carrying camera equipment as cabin baggage must be commonplace. Is it best just to get a hard suitcase designed for hand luggage and put the camera bag within, then utilise the extra space, or are there better items around?
Might seem an odd question, but it is going around in my head.
