Here we are, a day away from the Land of Burning Rubber and I’ve been head over heels trying to make sure I’m not forgetting anything that would help me create the ultimate video! (and shots)!

Disregarding all my natural instincts of making up my travel bag and putting together my clothes and hygiene necessities, I found myself assembling my photo/video equipment under the beats of Armin Van Buuren… so let’s see what we have here; the picture above simply sums up what I’m going to take with me so here we go:

1- Manfrotto 390 Tripod (Medium)
2- Manfrotto Modo 785B (Small)
3- Manfrotto Modosteady 585 (Portable Stabilizer)

4- Epson Multimedia Storage Viewer P-3000 (40GB CF/SD card reader and backup device; fill a card, put it in, back it up, empty card, fill it again and so on)

5- Wireless Mic set (Mic unit, Receiver unit and Mixer)

6- Canon Vixia HF-S10 32GB Camcorder + HD Wide Angle converter and Hood
7- Canon Mini Shoe / Mini Shotgun microphone
8- Extra Canon Long-Life battery
9- Vixia Remote Control
10- Camcorder Fisheye Lens
11- Bose IE2 Headphones
12- Camcorder Suction Mount Kit

13- Extra Rechargeable Energizer Batteries (For Flash)

14- GoPro Hero Kit (Cam and Mount + 8GB SDHC Class 6 Lexar Premium Series)

15- two Canon 7D Batteries + Twin Battery Charger

16- Canon 580EX Flash + Attachable White Reflector
17- Canon 7D / Canon 24-70mm 2.8L + Hoya Clear protective filter
18- Canon 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO
19- Air/ Dirt Blower
20- Canon 7D BatGrip
21- Canon 7D Shutter Trigger
22- 8GB / 16GB Lexar Pro 233x CF cards + Protective Case
23- Hoya Circ-Polarizer filters

Whew… of course taking care of the equipment is the job of a Lowepro Flipside backpack and a CaseLogic DSLR Sling Sling. I really believe that I won’t be using all of the stuff I’m bringing, but I haven’t the slightest idea on what to expect over there, so I’d rather play it safe than regret not having that tiny thing that would screw things on me.

All in all, I’m looking forward for this and looking forward to making one hell of a video out of the whole experience. Any soundtrack suggestions guys?
