How to travel with professional photography equipment?
1- Book a flight with good allowed luggage weight, In Bahrain I choose Gulf Air, so we (my assistant and I) gets 60KG + 12 KG onboard. Gulf Air Baggage allowance information: http://www.gulfair.com/English/info/Baggage/Pages/Baggage_Allowances.aspx 2- Prepare a list containing all the equipment you are taking with you with their serial number. Before you travel arrive early at the airport and approach the customs office. You have to tell them that you are taking all of these equipment with you and getting back with them. They will ask you to open the bags so they can check the equipment. They will issue a temporary export certificate for you. So whenever you are back to the country you just show them the certificate and all good. 3- You have to buy good equipment bags, I choose Pelican with foam inserts. The foam is very easy to cut to any custom shape you need and its very professional and safe. 4- Make sure that all the lenses and the cameras with you onboard,
