Can you take your camcorder & camera in your carry-on bag? Or must you place it in your checked bag?


Travel Info
We don't want our stuff to break, is there another way to go about this so?

Travel Tips
Always hand-carry your portable electronic equipment. Checked luggage gets man-handled pretty badly, and you never want to put something expensive and susceptable to breakage in it.

Digital equipment and media is safe to x-ray. Modern x-ray machines also allow fim with an iso of 400 or lower to be safely scanned. Any faster kind of film (800, 1600), usually the domain of pro photographers, must be manually inspected.

Also keep in mind that x-ray damage to film is cumulative, so if you'll be passing through the machines many times, even iso400 film won't be safe - you'll want to ask for manual film inspection as much as you can.

You wont always get co-operation, but any scan you can avoid, the safer you'll be.

Others
yes, I do all the time, my binoculars too. You just might want to protect film from the xrays.
You must carry on camaras and camcorders and film. Film in checked luggage will be damaged by the bomb screener machine. Security may ask you to turn on your camaras. Go to your airline website for more information about carry-on luggage.
Lots of traveling.
