My Gear
I’m currently in the process of getting ready to travel to the Philippines on my first assignment in 2012. I wouldn’t normally submit a post like this but there are photographers out there who are interested in the gear you take when travelling abroad. So here’s a list of my main equipment, of course there’s also an array of cables and power units which goes along with this gear. The equipment I take on each trip is forever evolving, some items I find I can do away with whilst other kit may find its way into my bag. I’m always trying to keep within the airlines weight limit which varies from airline to airline but I usually get it about right.

- NatGeo Walkabout Back Pack
- Benro C1180T Carbon Fibre Traveller Tripod
- Thinktank Holsters, Harness and Belt System
