G'day mate,

I travelled jetstar and took my full-size camera backpack as carry-on luggage, no worries... And it weighs about 13-14kg's with all the stuff in it, never got weighed or anything...

But I did lose another bloody screw-driver that I forgot about in my bag though doh! That's the second one I've lost when they've been spotted in my backpack... :lol:

Hey Mudder, Silly question ... Why do you carry a screwdriver in your camera bag?

I carried them for "handiness" :lol: Actually I was carrying a pano-head in the bottom of the backpack (which I never used anyway :roll: ) and the screw driver's for tightening the screws that mount the camera to the head etc...

Ha, that's the second one I've lost by forgetting about it in the backpack and they get picked up by the scanner things...

Strewth, I'm sometimes surprised myself by the things I find in the bottom of my backpack... :lol:

I still prefer Virgins :wink:
