As photographers, we have lots of gear to haul to and from photo shoots.  It is important to double check that you have everything you need BEFORE you leave your home or office!

Below is a photography equipment checklist that I give out to my Photography 101 students I hope this will help you!  I suggest you shrink it on a copy machine and laminate it. Then you can add it to your camera bag for future use!

• Camera Body
• Lenses (Wide) (Zoom) (Telephoto) (Macro)
• Camera Bag
• Batteries (Charged)
• Battery Charger
• Tripod
• Ball Head for Tripod
• Quick release plates for Ball Head
• Black Rapid Strap
• Memory Cards (Extras) (Formatted)
• Flash/Speedlight
• Flash Bracket & Off camera Flash Cord
• Stofen Diffuser
• AA Batteries for Flash & Charger
• Remote Shutter Release
• Lens Cleaning Cloth
• Rocket Blower for sensor
• Filters (ND (Circular Polarizer) (Other) _______
• Laptop & Plug
• Memory Card Reader
• External Hard Drive
• Ipad & Connector
• Headlamp / Flashlight
• Laser
• Sandbag
• Monopod
• Lens caps
• Ideas & Creativity
• Camera Manual

I am a big advocate of checklists.  I never leave home without checking several lists, to make sure I have all my gear that I need.  I have learned this the hard way and I hope that you will not have to make the same mistakes that I have made.

Please add anything else YOU bring below in the comments so others can see!
