Make a frigging list of what you are taking. It can be on a 3x5 card. Make the list so that you know what you have packed and what to bring back home.
Packing Your Gear
Don't forget the camcorder. I've done this. I had promised to take video and my camcorder was 2,500 away at home. I had to buy a new one in a city I did not know. That kind of adventure you don't want to experience.
Power and Charging Cords
The JVC has a proprietary plug. The Samsung.has a non-removable battery that has to be charged via a USB plug or by computer. I have a standard definition SD camcorder whose plug I haven't seen in god known when.
Need the extension cords because most of my cameras only record one hour on battery power. If there is a socket along the baseboard it is mine, mine I tell you!
Ethernet Cables
Yeah, yeah you got your Wi-Fi device. Me too. I am going to New York to meet up with 4,000 women of BlogHer who also have Wi-Fi devices. I'm also taking my netbook. I know at some point we are gonna crash the hotel Internet Wi-Fi. We've done it before.
Memory Cards
You can't have too many memory cards but you might want to make sure that they are empty of content. Many stores now sell memory cards but if you are near a tourist area they will jack the price of those suckers up. Please don't pay $40 for a 4GB card.
Tripod
I have a small one for tables and a collapsible one that can extend 50 inches. Very light to travel with but you probably should pack a larger tripod in the luggage.
External Microphone
Digging for my Zoom H1 and batteries for that device. I only have two hands so it might become a bra mike or clench it in my mouth. Something.
Lemme see, lens cleaner, small notebook, labels on stuff so I know it is mine. Recycle bags for extra padding. I'm forgetting something but I'll remember it someplace over Colorado.
