Making memories...capturing special moments that will never be created again...the fun of looking at ourselves during days long past by...the joy of our first child/grandchild, the first 'home'...moments captured today to enjoy tomorrow. Beautiful scenic of places never to be visited again...wildlife each uniquely different in its own way. Need I say more.

This is almost a no brainer, but people occasionally ask what kind of small camera to bring on a trip.

"Do not bring new gear on a trip." If you need or want new gear, buy it well before the trip so you have time to get used to it.


My first DSLR, a Nikon D70S, was purchased just prior to a trip to Germany. My flight time from NY was used to 'learn' the camera. Some of those photos are still favorites today. Sometimes you just have to do what is necessary to meet lifes challenges.

Mail them.


Sorry but my experience with mailing stuff has not been good. UPS is preferred. Thanks for the suggestion.

BBurns, that sounds like sound advise. UPS is preferred over Fed Ex so I will go talk to them. I have 3 SKB cases so it will be costly. What lind of 'band' are you referring to? Thank you.

Actually it's a sled and some moose...unless your dog mushing, then it's dogs.

Thank you for the response. I had three different straps and wasn't sure which went to what. It got figured out. Thank you.

Alaska to anywhere by road can be tricky to impossible. Are you (a) heading down to the lower 48 for good, or will you (b) be schlepping the gear down, and then back again?

If your answer is (a), then I suggest a bonded courier service is probably your best option. Particularly as (depending upon whereabouts in Alaska you live) your standard parcel services are probably restricted to air or sea freight.

If your answer is (b), then I suggest challenging yourself with these two questions:
1. Do I really need to take everything?
2. If not, should I rent or buy some/most items I will need, where I will use them?

Over the last 3 decades, I’ve found myself attending sports events and multiple other commissions on at least 2 continents, yearly. Whether it be top end World Championships sporting equipment or professional photo gear, I’ve personally found it more cost effective to stash “mini-hubs” of the larger / heavier essentials in each continent that I regularly visit (I’m SO lucky to have so many friends willing to look after a mini-hub for me).

Turns out, air freighting expensive (insurance costs added in!) equipment around the World is a fools game… cheaper and safer to pare down to essentials and buy a mini-hub set in each continent, near where it’s needed. I’m comfortable financially… but I don’t have the resources of the Ferrari F1 Team. Once I’ve shipped a $10K lens back & forth a couple of times, loss & damage risk, insurance, and freight costs mean I would have saved money renting or buying it & using it where I need it.

We are all special and unique… just like everyone else. You will probably have different challenges than me, but if your “box of bits” to ship costs less than around $20K, you may find it’s only worth courier delivery & insurance if you are a “one and done” trip.
Alaska to anywhere by road can be tricky to imposs... (show quote)


B is most applicable. Already schlepped one way, now returning. Everything has been pared down as much as possible. I have gained significantly more equipment here. My concern is lost or damage but that is a risk either way. Thank you for your advise!

My entire photograpy inventory needs to be moved. Cameras, lenses and flashes, are packed in SKB 3i-2011-7dz cases. This is the case with the removable Think Tank zippered case within it. It is an airline approved case for carry on but limited to 1 per passenger. I have 4 cases packed.
Does anyone have advise on how to ship these? My concern is theft in-transit, and damage. It is a long haul
cross country move.
All my gear is insured but the hassle of having to deal with a claim is not something I wish to experience.
Getting here was only 2 cases. One as carry on, 1 checked but now my equipment inventory has doubled. Does anyone have experience with this situation? How did you handle it?
Any suggestions anyone may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone. The problem was that there are 3 straps and it was unclear which strap went to which lens. I have it all figured out now. Thank you!

I am really feeling stupid in asking this question. On the Sigma 60-600 lens is there a strap that attaches to the lens?
Not the camera strap but one that actually attaches to the lens. I know I saw it somewhere but as Murphys Law would have it, it cannot be found. Does anyone know where the documentation is for this strap? I do have the users guide but the print is too small for my old eyes. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thank you for helping me.

Too much technobabble! If that new Android is worth considering the OP should just POST a few images at various zoom settings. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting!


As stated in my post the phone was at the phone store teathered to the display rack. There was no way to test it out.

I don’t know how you could take a photograph with a camera with such low resolution. Really, 200 mp? That would be 200 millipixesa or 0.2 pixels. Do you mean 200 megapixels = 200 Mp. Only a factor of 1 billion difference.


The advertisement stated 200 mp.
