Galapagos camera gear advice
Hi All,
Been a while. Hope everyone is well.
With vaccines, more countries are opening up and I’m planning a trip to Ecuador and Galapagos with some friends later this year. I’m building up my gear and would like to get the forum’s input on lenses, tripod/monopod, and perhaps even a new camera bag.
Currently have the following:
Lenses: 14mm, 18-55mm, and 35mm f2
Tripod: a heavy Manfrotto that I bought few years ago; a Joby tripod and a small table tripod
Bag: a Lowepro Sports (enough for a camera + lens and extra lens)
I heard that 70-200mm on a cropped body is plenty in terms of reach. I do wonder if 70-300 or 100-400 would be better. Definitely looking for a CF tripod, perhaps one with ability to turn into a monopod (?). I do have a spare aluminum monopod that I can bring if needed. For bag I’m thinking the Lowepro Flipside Trek 250 to get more space with space to carry personal belongings.
I’d like to travel as light as possible so any advice on how to cut down on gear is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
