How can photographers reduce the weight of equipment luggage in travel shooting?

Many professional photographers often take a lot of equipment when they go out to shoot their works, which increases the travel burden. So how to reduce the weight of equipment luggage in travel shooting, I personally think it is mainly from the following aspects:

First, reduce the number of cameras, especially the number of fuselage. Many photographers generally don't have cameras in their hands. Sometimes they will take several cameras when traveling, but the focal length of each camera is basically above 1KG. Therefore, reducing the number of cameras is a good way to reduce equipment baggage.

Second, try to simplify the number of lenses. Anyone who likes photography knows that the camera lens has zoom and fixed focus. If you go out to shoot, you can choose to bring a few useful shots according to your own shooting theme. Try to choose some zoom lenses with large focal length coverage, and just bring one or two ordinary fixed-focus lenses. Don't bring all your own lenses. It is possible that these unused lenses will become a burden to you all the way.

Third, determine the theme and time of your own shooting. If you can determine the theme and time of your own shooting, then your equipment will be reduced a lot, because the equipment you use at this time is fixed, and some unnecessary equipment can be basically omitted. For example, you can always shoot in good light during the day, you can subtract tripods and even use monopods. If shooting at night, tripod is one of the necessary equipment. Therefore, the theme and time are the decisive factors in determining the equipment.

In a word, in travel shooting, try to reduce some irrelevant equipment or just to install B, so that your equipment and luggage will be much lighter.
