I know a couple of you dive with elaborate video hardware. When flying, I'm curious to know how you get it from point A to point B? I know this isn't easy with the current weight restrictions. What do you check and what do you carry on? What cases do you use? I'm not looking for a detailed proforma (lol) but rather a coarse description of what you shove in each case.

To kick things off, below is what I'm contemplating on doing.

Carry-on
1 roller backpack (Stahlsac) for Sony FX1, Bluefin HD, and Sunray Pro dual HID, Trimix analyzer, dive computer

1 shoulder bag for laptop, travel info, flight tickets, etc.

Checked
1 hard case (Storm iM2950) for CCR, handsets, breathing loop, counterlungs, stages w/hoses, and sometimes onboard cylinders

1 roller duffel (Stahlsac Cozumel Cruiser) for dive gear: dry suit, fins, rockboots, weight belt, mask, spools, SMB, save-a-dive kit, etc.
