Chase Jarvis TECH: Packing Photo Gear For Hiking [whether for a day trip or up to 19,030 feet on Mt. Kilimanjaro]

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to be part of an expedition to bring greater awareness to the scarcity of fresh drinking water experienced by many countries around the world. Called Summit on the Summit, the expedition was a 60 mile hike up Kilimanjaro and included some artists, educators and guides who shared my interest in this awareness project, including Mark Foster, Justin Chatwin and Beau Garrett.

I put together this short video to give y’all a glimpse of the gear I packed for the trek. I kept it pretty light and stuck to two main camera systems:

_Nikon D4 platform
_14-24mm
_24-70mm
_70-200mm
_Other Nikon Lenses

_Olympus OM-D platform
_12mm
_14-42mm
_40-150mm
_75-300mm

Other Gear:
_Manfrotto Support
_MacBook Pro + Macbook Air
_GTech External Hard Drives
_LowePro Bags
_Dakine Photo Brick

Watch the vid for the full deets on my tech choices for this amazing journey.

    Dude.. I am not substantially into studying, but somehow I obtained to experience lots of guide subject material using your online internet site. Its amazing how attention-grabbing it seriously is for me to go to you pretty frequently.

    I am little surprised you didn’t pack a D800 instead of the D4 considering you would be more likely to be shooting some epic landscape/nature scenes on this trip rather than extreme sports action.

      reasonable point jeremy… i like the d800, but the d4 is 1) more bulletproof 2) has higher quality megapixels… the d800 has a lot of em, but of a lower quality IMHO. 3) better battery life 4) in my possession 😉
