Hi Marc,

interesting kit - now where do you live :D might want to get some gear (break in or something like that) :D :D :D NOT !!!
I personally don't like the idea of adverstising what one has - what for ?
But a real question for you: how are you going to transport all that gear ?

Have a great time in Zambia, and show us the photographic results.

Regards,
CD

Apart from chargers, etc, most of the gear fits in the Lowepro Mini Trekker & 75 Toploader. All carry on legal :wink:

Are you sure that Zambia has 240v ? The extension cord may be useless.

UK plug/ Adapter. (So, yes 240V):wink:
Have covered just about everything, having planned this trip since Nov last year, and (trying not to sound like a big head) this is my 5th trip to the dark continent.

Marc,

extra batteries, depending what your jobo uses.

Not sure if you would need a better beamer for your flash.

A set of tools that can be used for the tripod, allen key, screwdriver, etc

I assume you are taking your bean bag empty, just fill it up when you get there.

Is it a photography specific tour?

Have a great time.

Cheers,

André

Nope. Lots of gear use autosensing Vin these days. Just put the appropriate adapter on the plug, and you get four outlets for the price of one.

BUT where's the bag?
