Due to having quite a few responsibilities at this event, I have to pack an enormous amount of gear for this trip every year. I need the biggest bag Fstop Gear makes for this trip, and the harness to comfortably haul it all up and down the hills of Valparaiso at over 50 pounds.  Here’s a list of the gear that somehow came out of my Fstop Satori EXP.

1 x Canon Mk4
1 x Canon Mk3
Canon 300mm F2.8
Canon 70-200mm F2.8
Canon 17-40mm F4
Canon 15mm Fish F2.8
4 x Pocket Wizard Plus 2 Transceivers
Canon 50mm F1.8
Canon 550EX Flash
2 x Vivitar 285 Flashes
Rode Videomic
3 x GoPro Hero 2 HD with various backpacks for still images (wifi, extra battery, LCD)
2 x Contour +2 for video
Manfrotto 55xb tripod + Benro Ballhead
2 x Slik Tripods used as flash stands
Ultrapod 2 as flash stand or remote camera stand
512gb of Sandisk Extreme Pro 4 memory cards
Charging cables, remote camera cables, intervalometer, battery chargers, external HDDs etc

Special thanks to FStopGear for the new bag that will hopefully save my back, Canon CPS for getting everything ready to go again this year and Valparaiso Cerro Abajo for once again flying me down to their beautiful country to “work”.
