HELP! Can I bring my camera gear on a plane?

By the way, if your gear is extra impressive (lots of big lenses, big bodies, etc.), you may get the stare of glory from security personel. Trust me - It feels pretty good. []

I'd rent a 800mm

a wimberley head:

a mounting plate:

and a heavy duty tripod:

roughly $460 for 7 days without shipping/insurance. Probably another $200 for that...

I wish! My budget unfortunately is WAAAYYY less than that. Maybe $130.
