I present you the contents of my backpack when I am going to fly with my Spark. What are you wearing in your backpack when you are going to fly?

I'll play along.

Nice! Your backpack also weighs like mine...

What are your tripods for? I don't see anything that they would hold...


I just cary the flymore bag as is.  For me, it's super light and portable and it has everything that I need and nothing that I don't.  AND I can put it in one of my other bags if I am shooting handheld as well.

His phone probably.

First I fly the drone and I spend the 3 batteries. After the 3 batteries are discharged, I put them to charge, for that I bought the charging station. While the batteries are charging, I have to wait a little over 1 hour, I use the smartphone with the tripod to record videos from the ground. So I have videos and photos from the air and from the ground, to combine it into a new project. And when the batteries are already charged, I go back  again in the air, to spend again the 3 batteries.

Nice! That’s good thinking and efficient use of your time!

Good question.
I have yet to figure out what I will carry in the long run.
For now it is just my drone, some batteries, the remote, sunglasses and ND filters.
But that is just for shorter flights.

If I'm on a real photography / film trip I will add:
- 2 tripods
- DSLR + 4 prime lenses
- VideoMic Pro
- Videocamera + batteries
- A lot of SD cards
- Powerbank
- Osmo Mobile
- Landing pad

So anything between just the 'fly more combo' and this bag full of stuff

Yes, I like to be efficient and take advantage of as much time as possible. To be able to record this castle I asked permission and had 3 hours in total to do it. And in these 3 hours I had to avoid and not disturb the visitors who were there.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Look like you guys prepare a lot for each flight. Please share us your hard work.
