Off to Africa

Posted by Scot, August 28th, 2009

Carry-on Camera Bag Well, it’s off to Africa again. Tanzania this time. We’re shooting a new show for World Vision Canada. One of the biggest challenges is just getting there with all our gear. If we want to hit the ground running and start shooting, we have to take pretty much everything with us as carry-on luggage. We’ve been in the lost luggage movie a few too many times over the years to even risk it.

Trying to pack as light and small as possible but still have the tools we need to shoot is becoming a bit of a science. Thankfully there are some amazing small cameras on the market now. This is my first trip with the new JVC HM100U as our B-Camera. It’s an amazing little thing. Full 1920×1080 HD but only 3.2 lbs. Wow. Compared the Sony EX1 it feels like an empty plastic shell. If the pictures hold up, I may be tempted to grab it more and more often.

Apparently we’ll have some level of internet access in Tanzania so I’ll be blogging a bit while we’re there. If I manage to stay awake long enough. Time to eat a little dinner and get some sleep before our early flight tomorrow. I’ll need all my energy to argue about the size of our carry-on bags with the airlines!

More later. Scot.
