Photo Gear


I store almost all my gear in a Pelican 1510 case that can be carried on to most airlines. Depending on the particular day’s needs I will attach varies components of ThinkTank Photo’s Skin System to a belt or load up the Urban Disguise 40 or Street Walker Hard Drive with the lens and body combinations from the Pelican case.

I mostly use my Really Right Stuff carbon fiber tripod (TVC-33) with their BH-55 ball head, though recently added a 3 Legged Thing Eric and the BH-40 as my travel tripod and ball head.

Recently I re-organized my Pelican case, incorporating dividers from TrekPak. This gave may a little more room to add things in the case, though not enough to get both the 100-400 and 70-200 lenses.
