Hi guys.. would like to hear from you. I packed my gears in my flipside 400aw (Canon Xsi gripped with Tokina 50-135 f2.8 lens attached, Tokina UWA 11-16 f2.8, Tamron 17-50 f2.8, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, Canon 50mm f1.8 and speedlite 430ex, dust blower, lenspen and CPL/ND Flters, chargers, cords, extra batteries and memory cards, and a 10.1" laptop). Attached to the backpack is a standard tripod. Do I miss something important? A bit heavy though but feels comfortable. This will be my first travel in China and hope I wouldn't regret not bringing one. Thanks guys

how long or how short is your tripod? you might be asked to check in your tripod if its long. better to have a bag for it.

I am not sure you will need the 90mm macro for travel.. but if you have no problems with the weight then just bring it.

goodluck on your travel and post some photos when you come back. i'll be heading there this december.
