Traveling with Gear internationally... any tips?
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2017 8:45 pm
I've been selected to travel to Kyrgyzstan this summer as a cinematographer on multiple video projects.
We'll be in a fairly isolated region, beautiful from what i've seen, but i will have power and even internet.
(along the old Silk Road!)
I haven't flown with anything more than a 5D several years ago.
Gear at my disposal:
Ursa Mini 4.6K EF (EVF, Shoulder Mount)
Rokinon Cine DS lenses 24, 35, 50, 85, 135
BMMCC (w/ Video Assist)
DJI Mavic Pro
2x Canon 5Dmk3 w/ 24-105mm L
ND, IR, Matte Box, etc
Batteries, media cards, etc
(pretty much everything i would need to shoot)
I guess what i'm not sure of, is what i need to bring for multiple styles.
We'll be doing Commercial work, cinematic pieces, narrative, and documentary shoots.
Keep in mind, i can't really rent.
Should i try to bring a giant tripod?
Is there a portable card reader/dumper that i can use in the field?
Should i try to bring lights?
