Hasta La Gadget!

Think of how much you can pack in the fewest or smallest bags when you’re traveling, especially when you’re faced with checked-baggage surcharges on airlines. For cameras and laptops, which you should never check, choose the smallest bag that holds every camera, lens, accessory, and transformer you need, even if it would be stuffed too tight to quickly pull out, say, your camcorder. On the plane, overstuffed is fine if it means the bag fits under the seat in front. The trick is to have accessory pouches that travel inside the bag while en route, then clip to the outside when you’re moving around, expanding your cargo capacity.
