In this episode of Jeff and Angie Photography, the host walks through his complete camera bag setup for a landscape and wildlife trip to Red River, New Mexico. He starts with a modified F‑Stop camera insert that fits inside a roller‑carry‑on bag, explaining the interior mesh cutout and lockable compartment for potential checked‑bag scenarios. He then enumerates power and storage essentials: multiple spare batteries, a card reader, rechargeable flashlights, a battery charger, extra SD cards, sunscreen, and a hat. The host highlights his DJI Mini Pro 3 drone and carries spare drone batteries. He brings 1× and 2× teleconverters to extend his 70‑200 mm lens for hummingbird and wildlife work. A second F‑Stop accessory bag stores charging cables, portable hard drives, and other power gear. For landscape filters he uses Freewell’s magnetic system (polarizer and 10‑stop ND). Camera bodies and lenses include a Sony A1 with a 24‑105 mm f/4, a Sony A9 III paired with a 70‑200 mm f/2.8 plus teleconverters for macro and insects, and a sponsored Sony 50‑150 mm f/2 lens slated for a review. He mentions B&H’s affiliate links, his new book, and website. The checked bag holds miscellaneous flashlights, the tripod with ball head, hat, and other backup items, while the carry‑on contains “glass” (camera bodies/lenses) and essentials in case the checked bag is lost. The video ends with a call‑to‑action for likes, subscriptions, and bell notifications.
Chapters
Hello and welcome to another episode of Jeff and Angie Photography. So today we're going to talk a little bit about what to take when traveling for landscape photography, when you maybe might have an opportunity of some wildlife or maybe some hummingbirds. So join me as we dive into my camera bag and see what I'm taking to Red River, New Mexico. Okay, so first up I have my f-stop camera insert bag, and this goes inside of my roller bag that I carry on. The roller bag is just a regular old bag that I got off of Amazon. But it's really a really good bag because it's got this extra compartment here in the front where it holds my laptop, my iPad, my wallet, my keys. And then with a little modification— hold on a second, let me zip this up. Good. I did a little modification to the inside. I cut out the extra mesh on this side, and my F-Stop bag fits in here perfect. And then it also has locks on it, so in the event that you, you ended up having to check this for any reason, you could lock it up. But chances are, if it gets checked, it's going to be the empty shell because my F-Stop bag Comes out and it fits under the seat in front of me or in the overhead with no problems. All right, so let's dive into this bag and see what I am taking. So first off, of course, gotta power. We got plenty of batteries. And then we also gotta remember your reader. Don't forget your reader. And we're going to be doing a little bit of night stuff if the weather is nice and we have a clear sky, so we've got a couple flashlights. Have a bigger one as well. These are the rechargeable batteries for that. Of course, your battery charger. Extra SD cards just in case. Sunscreen. Oh, and don't forget a hat. My hat's already packed. It's ready to go. Uh, the batteries to my drone. I have a DJI Mini Pro 3, I believe. I'm gonna take that with me, and I've always got a little bit of one of those originals just in case. And then I've got my 1x and 2x teleconverters just in case I need to convert my 70-200 into a 400. for some wildlife or hummingbirds. 'Cause rumor has it that there's quite a few hummingbirds in Red River, New Mexico. And, oh, and this little bag here, I love this bag. It's another bag by F-Stop, and it holds all of my charging cables, portable hard drives, all the cables you'd ever need to charge And that's always right in there. Oh, you don't want to forget your filters if you're doing landscape photography. I've got everything in here from polarizer to a 10-stop neutral density, and it's the Freewell magnetic system, so you just screw on the base and then from there Everything is just click and play. How about that? After that, we'll go ahead and jump into the cameras. So I've got the A1, my older A1. That one I will pair with my Sony 24-105mm f/4 lens. I stick those 2 together. Because I don't use those 2 very often. But my 70-200 will go on my A9 III. And the reason I pair it with this is because we're going to be doing some wildflowers, some macro, and I can easily throw my 1.4, my 2x teleconverter on there, and I can get some really incredible images of bugs and butterflies on the wildflowers. So that's, that's my method behind that. And then the A1, I am going to pair that with the new 50-150mm f/2. All right, so hang tight real quick. We'll get back into the bag, but I just want to mention B&H Photo, they were kind enough to send this lens to me so I could do a review. So this lens is gonna go to Red River, New Mexico, Taos, Santa Fe. It's going all over New Mexico with me, and I'm gonna get out there and I'm going to take some amazing photos with this, and I will share with you later after I get home, and we'll see if this lens is a keeper or not.

And there'll also be a link below for my new book that just came out, along with our website with lots of cool images to purchase. All right, let's jump back into the video. 50-150mm f/2, and the reason I'm pairing it with that is because of the The lens. I just love this lens. I'm going to do a review on this after I get back from Red River, New Mexico, and I'll tell you all about it. So that's pretty much all I have in my camera bag. In my checked bag, I have all the miscellaneous flashlights, um, all the other little miscellaneous things that you would need to take with you. And then I also have my tripod and my, my ball head in there, along with my hat and a few other miscellaneous things. My carry-on bag, I try to just keep the glass and essentials in here, the stuff that if I get to my location and my carry-on is— or my checked bag is missing, then I can go buy a couple clothes, and I could even go buy an expensive tripod, or I could just find something to steady it on and take a photo. But the only time I really use my tripod is for landscapes that I can't handhold and Night photography. So I hope you enjoyed my little glimpse into my camera bag, and I will post another video when I get back from Red River, New Mexico, showing you all the amazing shots that this 50-150 is going to take and the ins and outs of that lens. So if you're thinking about buying that lens Hang tight. I hope you enjoyed my video. Don't forget to like, subscribe, ring my bell, and keep on clicking.
