00:00Whether you're an amateur photographer or a professional, traveling with a camera, or with any expensive equipment for that matter,
00:06can be pretty stressful.
00:08Having your equipment break or get stolen is bad enough. Imagine it happening in a foreign country.
00:13But fear not, there are precautions you can take.
00:17According to Photo Focus, the first step to keeping your camera gear safe is choosing the right bag.
00:22A good bag should have a compartment for your camera, lenses, and accessories, as well as some extra space for
00:28other items you may need while traveling.
00:31In fact, carry your gear in your hand luggage. That way you don't have to worry about baggage handlers tossing
00:37your equipment around.
00:38According to expert photography, most long-haul airlines understand this and are pretty lenient about the weight of your bag
00:45in these circumstances.
00:46That being said, it's always a good idea to use a padlock on your bags and keep your valuables out
00:52of sight, as much as possible.
00:54Don't leave your equipment out of sight in public spaces, and if you're traveling by car, stash your bags in
01:00a not-so-noticeable place.
01:02This tech is expensive. What can you do?
01:04Well, a bunch, but a little bit of forethought and vigilance means the difference between spending your time abroad looking
01:11for new equipment and taking the types of photos that end up in magazines worldwide.
