Good info to see what other specialized photographers are using!! Oh...that case is too large to fit in overhead of airplanes, right? Do you have any issues with knowing all of your gear is being stored away from you? (Underneath the plane with other luggage ). I dont think I could rest well on the flight worrying about my case "missing" when I arrived...especially if I have more than one plane switch.

Great video!
I think that case is needed for all of those rectangular battery packs, light stands, etc. Not much way around that.
The camera body and/or lenses could be removed and tucked into a carry-on for flying if you wanted to keep them on you (anti-theft).
That case had good padding, though. Everything looks safe in terms of rough handling.
