When I go onsite for a shoot, I typicaly bring the main camera and the backup camera. Which is currently in two backpacks which contain:
Each bag consist of: D300 with grip (well one bag has a 300s but other than that they are identical) SB900 70-200 2.8 50 1.4 and two other unique lenses in each bag CF cards, shutter releases, card readers, and such toss in each as well. The gotcha I am having problems is I have more glass that I can put in the cases, and everything I don't bring everything I tend to forget it and kick myself trying to make something else work for me when on the shoot. So what do you guys use? It isn't so bad when I am taking lighting and reflectors because I then take those bags and see to cramp my other glass in there then. __________________

I had the same problem since my photography covers a fairly wide range. My solution was to break my equipment up by need. I have a lot of small, fairly inexpensive cases for a lot of my gear. For bodies and lenses I have some high quality bags and a couple of Pelican cases of different sizes.
My other gear has been greatly broken up by types so I only grab what I need for any particular occasion. In the back of the truck is a truck box that I bought some foam for. Drop in the boxes/cases I need and fill in the spaces along the sides with foam to keep everything from shifting. That way I can take what I need for any particular situation without bringing the whole studio. |

I was going to update each of you and say thank you for your opinions. I ended up buying a aluminum cart and put the bags and gear in this. It wheels very easily over sand and over terrain. So far it is great.

OK, that is the old way. Funny thing is that that old heavy kit is about 20#, while the new light weight kit is about 60#. My current location kit takes 6-8 trips from the car to pack in. |

do you really use everything in those 2 bags?
the best thing you can do is decide what you actually need and will use, and leave the rest at home. i carry everything i need to cover a wedding in a lowepro proroller2 (including light stands) otherwise, i just carry a single backpack and put my location lighting gear in a nike bat bag. a couple of fast and flexible zooms, and a go to prime or two will all fit in a single bag (even with a second body if you feel like you need one for the gig) |

The cart was just under $200 and is available at any fishing bait and tackle store.
As for if I need the gear yes. I have tried to leave stuff home and Murphy law always says I need x when I don't have it. So I have learned to haul it instead of regretting it. __________________
