Unless absolutely vital, I don\u2019t check luggage en route to my destination. It\u2019s risky, particularly if you\u2019re hopping from place to place. Instead, I use critical thinking (seriously \u2014 it\u2019s a puzzle!) to figure out how to best fit all my essentials into one carry-on roller bag and my favorite camera backpack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On a recent trip through the Baltics, where I filmed everything from an interview with &#8220;the queen of beer in Lithuania,&#8221; to a historical documentary following the story of my grandparents, I put my packing expertise to the test. And I did so successfully, minus a backache or two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re filming in another country yet fretting over the thought of packing, here are 6 tips to fit filming essentials \u2014 not to mention clothing and toiletries \u2014 into your carry-on luggage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47513\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-luggage.jpg\" alt=\"film trip abroad luggage\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-luggage.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-luggage-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-luggage-972x1024.jpg 972w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My luggage (Photo by Stephanie Vermillion)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>1. Only pack the essentials<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This goes for gear as well as clothing. Unless it&#8217;s vital, leave it out. I know, I know, it\u2019s easier said than done (especially for attire), but if you make a list of what you\u2019re doing each day \u2014 and the clothing you\u2019ll need for said activities \u2014 you can build an \u201cessentials\u201d list based on actual fact instead of guessing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In terms of gear, you\u2019ll need to do the same pre-trip planning to understand the shots you want and the gear you need to achieve them. I created storyboards for the major films prior to leaving so I could understand my projects more deeply, rather than showing up and figuring it out. The films I\u2019m creating are journalistic and more documentary in style, which means I didn\u2019t need perfect lighting (therefore, no lighting kit), but I did need good audio and stabilization to tell my stories. With this in mind, here\u2019s the gear I packed:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/isoa7sm2.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Sony A7Sii<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">: Due to space issues, I only packed one camera for this trip.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso5518.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Sony Sonar 55MM<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso1635gm.html\"><span class=\"s4\">Sony 16 \u2013 35MM<\/span><\/a>: I knew I\u2019d need the 55 for interviews and close-up action shots (like the \u201cbeer queen\u201d brewing beer), and with travel, a wide lens is always helpful for setting the scene.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/tsdr10l.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Tascam DR-10L<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">: This wireless mic packs a big punch and is great on battery life (an essential for travel!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">On-Camera Microphone: An on-camera microphone like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/rdvmg.html\"><span class=\"s4\">Rode VideoMic Go<\/span><\/a> is helpful for matching audio in post. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Extra batteries: I pack every camera battery I have, not to mention extra AA and AAA batteries for my audio gear. You can never be too prepared!<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/bgmvmxproa4.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Manfrotto Monopod<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">: With multiple uses, the monopod is great for travel. Since it has \u201cfeet,\u201d it can actually be used as a tripod (with a little patience and balancing), and it\u2019s also my versatile go-to for stable action and establishing shots. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/zhcrane.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Zhiyun Crane<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">: While the films I\u2019m focused on are documentary in style, I do still need those beautiful smooth-moving shots that only a stabilizer like the gimbal can provide. I wrapped my crane up to protect it and actually carried it on in the laptop compartment of my backpack.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47511\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear.jpg\" alt=\"film trip abroad gear\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear-1019x1024.jpg 1019w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Flat-Lay-Gear-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My gear (Photo by Stephanie Vermillion)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Wear your bulkiest items on the flight<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I made this trip <i>extra<\/i> tricky on myself by traveling to cold destinations during a chilly time of year. That means I needed layers. And therefore, it means I wore snow boots and my huge coat on the flight. These items are essentials because it\u2019s impossible to shoot steadily if you\u2019re shivering from the cold. But this type of clothing is also bulky \u2014 and can take up half (or all!) of your suitcase room, if you\u2019re not careful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, while it may be a little uncomfortable, wearing your biggest clothes on the flight is a must when you\u2019re planning to film in a chilly destination!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. Bring expandable luggage options<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: Expandable luggage is a must, especially if you\u2019re jumping from place to place. On our film trip, we visited Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Helsinki via car, which meant we were moving around (and therefore unpacking and repacking) a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead of the stressful pack each and every time, I brought a small, expandable duffel and moved from two carry-ons to three upon arrival. From Denmark on, I carried my gimbal and boots in the duffel bag, making my backpack much more manageable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Additionally, if you have a sightseeing day that\u2019s light on filming, you may not want to bring the entire backpack with you. That\u2019s why I pack a small canvas purse that fits my camera, lenses, batteries and wallet \u2014 instead of the whole kit and caboodle.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47510\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Filming-interview-with-my-mother-Lithuania.jpg\" alt=\"stephanie vermillion mother lithuania\" width=\"1068\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Filming-interview-with-my-mother-Lithuania.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Filming-interview-with-my-mother-Lithuania-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Filming-interview-with-my-mother-Lithuania-1024x498.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Filming an interview with my mother in Lithuania (Photo by Stephanie Vermillion)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4. Choose a versatile backpack<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While full-on camera backpacks are great for professional filming, you\u2019ll need a versatile half-camera\/half-travel backpack for your filming trip abroad. I swear by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/vgh48.html\"><span class=\"s4\">Vanguard HAVANA backpack<\/span><\/a>. I put my camera and lenses in the bottom compartment, my monopod in the side compartment and my liquids, toiletries and various accessories in the additional pockets. And of course, my trusty gimbal takes up the laptop compartment alongside a notebook and folder. If you can\u2019t tell, this backpack fits <i>a lot!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>5. Be prepared for airport security<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s the thing about carrying on film equipment \u2013 you have to get it out at security, at least in the United States. This means all your tedious packing and finagling will inevitably get messed up when you have to unpack your camera, gimbal and any other electronics &#8220;larger than a smartphone&#8221; during airport security screenings. And if you&#8217;re bringing a sensor cleaner like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/gtrablr.html\"><span class=\"s4\">this one<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 which I do \u2014 be prepared for extra scrutiny given its odd shape. (Unless you have TSA pre-check <i>and <\/i>your airline accepts it \u2014 if that\u2019s the case, you\u2019re in the clear!) I had quite the time explaining the gimbal to TSA agents, but that\u2019s another story for another day&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Moral of the story? Make sure your electronics are easily accessible when you pack.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47512\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Interview-with-Aldona-Udriene-brewer.jpg\" alt=\"Aldona Udriene\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Interview-with-Aldona-Udriene-brewer.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Interview-with-Aldona-Udriene-brewer-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Interview-with-Aldona-Udriene-brewer-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Interview-with-Aldona-Udriene-brewer-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Interview with Aldona Udriene, brewer (Photo by Stephanie Vermillion)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>6. Understand \u2014 and pack for \u2014 the elements<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course you\u2019ll pack for the weather clothing-wise, but don\u2019t forget about protecting your gear. If it\u2019s rainy, bring an umbrella and cover for your pack (a perk of the HAVANA backpack? It comes with a rain cover!). If you\u2019re expecting significant wind, buy windshields <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/rddeadcatgo.html\"><span class=\"s4\">like this one for the Rode<\/span><\/a> to protect your audio gear. (They also make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/semzw02.html\"><span class=\"s4\">windshields<\/span><\/a> for small lavaliers!) And if it\u2019s very hot or cold, do some research to understand how your camera reacts to extreme temperatures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While checking luggage is definitely the easier route, packing in all carry-ons for a film trip can be done \u2014 and I\u2019m living proof. With a little planning, lots of sitting on your suitcase and some expandable luggage, you\u2019ll be en route to a successful filming trip \u2014 without the stress of misplaced gear. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My strategy when packing for a film trip mirrors my wardrobe strategy at an all-you-can-eat buffet: expandable waistlines (or, in this case, luggage).
