Photography trips mean carrying expensive, fragile gear to places with unpredictable light and weather. This list covers a typical outing for a camera with interchangeable lenses, plus the extras that save a shoot. When you create a trip from this list, you can remove or add your own items.

Some considerations

• Back up your memory cards every night, and bring more cards than you think you’ll fill.
• Batteries drain faster in the cold. Keep spares in an inside pocket close to your body.
• Moisture is the enemy of camera gear. Silica gel packs and a rain cover can save your camera.
• If you’re flying a drone, check the local regulations and any registration requirements first.
• A lightweight tripod you’ll actually carry is better than a heavy one you leave in the car.
