    What Tech Gear Should You Bring When Traveling? | My Real Travel Setup #780

    Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #780 hosted by Don Baine. Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of The Gadget Professor Show! This week we’re doing something a little different — and I think you’re really going to enjoy this one. We’re taking a behind-the-scenes look at exactly what gear I bring with me when I travel abroad — whether it’s for business, trade shows, client meetings, or just a little pleasure travel. As you know, wherever I go, I usually need to document a new gadget, capture footage for a review, or handle a client-related request. That means the gear I pack has to be reliable, portable, and absolutely dependable. When you’re thousands of miles from home, there’s no room for failure. Now here’s the problem… I tend to overpack. And I suspect many of you do too. It’s always difficult to decide which camera to bring. Do I take the action cam? The mirrorless? The drone? Multiple lenses? Backup audio? Extra lighting? Before you know it, you’re carrying half a studio through the airport. And let’s be honest — TSA inspections, airline baggage restrictions, rising luggage fees, and dragging heavy gear through terminals is not fun anymore. So I’ve finally developed a more reliable method to determine what really makes the cut — and what stays home. It’s time to cull the gear. Trim it down. Travel smarter. And still produce professional results. Today I’m going to show you exactly what makes it into my travel kit — and more importantly — why. You may be surprised at what I leave behind. Stay tuned — this should be very interesting. I’m Don Baine, The Gadget Professor — and let’s get started.
