Gear Recommendation
My wife and I will be going to Maldives in January (will be summer over there), so I’m trying to decide what gear and equipment to bring. We do have a 20kg per person weight limit as we have to take a float plane from Malé to our resort. So I would like to pack on the lighter side, but on the other hand I want to make sure I have enough gear to cover everything because it is freaking Maldives! Don’t know when (or if) we’ll have another opportunity to go back.
Here is what I’m thinking of bringing: - Go Pro and all the accessories such as diving case, selfie stick, remote and etc. - my Canon 70D, relatively inexpensive and somewhat light weight. - 24-70 F2.8L II with circular polarized filter - 70-300 F4-5.6 - Tripod - MacBook Air 13” Photos wise the goal is to cover as much as possible. Hoping to capture the Milky Way, I can hook the camera upto the laptop to set a long exposure. Question is should I invest in a wide angle given I’ll be using a cropped sensor? Anything else you guys recommend? Unfortunately the resort we’re going to don’t allow drones. |

I would stick to the 70D and 24-70L along with a table top tripod for Astro shots. A GoPro may be fun but I'd leave everything else at home and just enjoy the trip. I tend to just take my Canon G15 and not get caught up in documenting the trip, it's called a vacation.
