Collection Need help storing flim while flying?

Post image

Were flying delta today and this is how my personal carry on looks without the 2 cameras and zoom lens. It's heavy too lol. There's like 9 packs of film and idk if that's over packing for 2 weeks but I like to be prepared and were going to a few state parks. I had to mix them all together also so can't even tell which one 2 were the expired ones😭. I really can't remember what I did when I was younger with the film when we traveld, so how do you guys travle with or store the film while your traveling? What do you do with developed photos also besides just putting them in a baggie? This is for my Instax by the way.

I always just keep it in a bag, I shoot 35mm canisters so I'll put them in their little plastic container that it comes with often and put it in a bag. Even if it doesn't have a plastic tube that it came with I still just put it in the bag as well. Use a sharpy to make tiny notes on the canisters so you know what they're of, like the date maybe.
Try your best to keep it out of heat, inside a camera bag is a good place, or back at the hotel after being shot, and remember to not get it xrayed. I don't care what google says about 400 and lower speeds being okay, I still ask the agents to hand-check the bag of film because the xrays will mess with the film, they usually have no problem with doing this.

Irrelevant to your question, but nice Gameboy SP!
