How to Travel Light with Your Photography Gear

February 20, 2020 Jaine Kershner

I’m so excited that our Instagram IGTV series is officially back! Today I’m sharing all about my favorite travel items that I use to travel as lightly as possible with my photography gear. I NEVER want to check my bag (especially with my lenses!!) because they will surely be destroyed in transit, so I’m always looking for the best and lightest way to travel for a destination wedding or for personal travel.

I’m heading to California in a few weeks to speak at The Hybrid Co. so I thought it would be a great time to share some of my favorite photography gear that helps me travel as light as possible! Be sure to check out my full-length IGTV video for a more in-depth review of each of these items. I hope they are helpful for you too!

How to Travel Light with Your Photography Gear

Kamertte Lyra Camera Backpack Bag - If you know me at all, you know that I absolutely HATE backpacks. I swore I would never wear one but then both shoulders started to ack from carrying my gear on either side of my body. So I did my research and found the cutest, most stylish, and functional camera bag/backpack I could find. Kamertte was it! I’ve placed the removable velcro dividers in such a way that I can carry a DSLR, two lenses, Contax 645 with two lenses, two inserts, film, and batteries plus more! It does get heavy when it’s fully loaded but it’s great on my back - no more pain! Oh, and I get TONS of compliments on this bag each and every time I wear it!

Peak Design Travel Tripod - I pre-ordered this incredibly lightweight and beyond anything I’ve ever seen travel tripod from Peak Design in the beginning of 2019. It took almost 8 months for it to be delivered and I can tell you it was worth the wait and every single penny I spent!! My new travel tripod is 3.4 lbs which is a dream come true! It can hold up to 20lbs total weight, you can add a weight bag, they have a built-in option for your mobile phone to take photos with this travel tripod. I would highly recommend this tripod and make sure to read all the specifications on their site!

Ruggard Leda Memory Card Case - for Compact Flash - for Micro SD - I always want to ensure that my memory cards are safe, secure, and on my person at all times. I am loving these hard, water-resistant hard cases from Ruggard that are perfect for my needs.

Ruggard Padded Equipment Wrap - 11x11 Black Wrap - 15x15 Black Wrap - 19x19 Black Wrap - sometimes you don’t want to travel with your full gear kit when you are on the road, so I love using these padded equipment wraps to wrap my camera body, lenses, or flash when I’m on the go. It’s just another layer of padded protection to help keep my camera equipment safe inside of my personal tote or camera bag.

Create Custom USB Drives for Your Wedding Photography - USB Memory Direct

January 29, 2020 Jaine Kershner

I’m so excited to partner with USB Memory Direct to tell you all about their custom USB Drives for your wedding photography business. They are a wholesale custom printed USB drive retailer and they reached out to me to test out their custom drives. It was perfect timing because I had just rebranded to Jainé Kershner Photography and I was excited to print my new logo and create some new branded items for my new brand.

I was able to choose any style and type of custom USB drive that I wanted and when I started to browse their website, I was surprised to see how many choices they offer and how much data they hold. Ultimately, I was torn between two square drives but as soon as I saw the Round Card Flip, I knew it was the perfect choice for my brand. It also is an 8GB drive which can hold an entire wedding gallery for my couples.

I have to say that I’m obsessed with the print quality from USB Memory Direct and my new logo looks so crisp and sharp on my new USB Drives. I love the round card flip which is perfect for my new company seal and I can’t get over how thin they are and that they can hold 8GB of data. It kinda seems impossible but it’s true!

I’ve been using my drives for several week now and I’m very impressed with them. I can easily add my photos and documents through my computers USB ports and I haven’t had any transfer issues. I do send my images via an online gallery, but every so often I get asked to send a drive and now I have them ready to go, fully branded, and I can’t wait for my next request!

One of the best parts about partnering with a brand I enjoy working with is that sometimes they will offer my community a discount code to try out their services and I’m delighted to say that USB Memory Direct has graciously offered the Tea with Jainé community a discount for your very first order.

You can use the code PHOTO10 to save 10% OFF your first order with USB Memory Direct

Thank you USB Memory Direct for the incredible new custom printed USB Drives.
