Tech for travelling: Because you can only carry so much
Tags: carry, shop, pair, travel
To ensure you get some of the best technology coverage in the world, Crave travels quite a bit -- which means we regularly get to test stuff out on the road. But after all this testing, what do we think is the best all-round travel kit out there?
Crumpler Warm Shower laptop and camera bag
Before we delve into the world of travel-friendly tech, let's start with the bag you'll need to carry all this gear around in. Our gadget bag of choice has to be the Crumpler Warm Shower laptop and photo bag (pictured top).
We love the cosily named Warm Shower because it has all the compartments we need to store our laptop, dSLR and other gadgets safely, and most importantly it's comfortable to wear.
Our only niggle with it is that there could be a few more external pockets for storing bits and pieces that you need quick access to. You can pick up a Crumpler Warm Shower from several online retailers, including itchyfeet.com for around £100.

Why bulky USB modem instead of using your 3G phone as a modem?
Again, without (heavy) lenses, for non-professionals DSLR offers very little advantages over carefully chosen compact camera, if the total weight is a major factor. I would go with Sony R1 - it has almost DSLR-sized sensor and excellent built-in optics. Similar optic for DSLR would cost 1-2 grands and weight 2 kilograms.
I would also skip the Sennheisers for plug-type earphones e.g. from Etymotic. They offer even better noise isolation and weights a tiny fraction of Sennheisers.

How about the N95 with Gps and 5Mbit Camera, wireless network. Only downside is the battery...

100 quid for a bag?? Perhaps you should look for a new trolley to replace the one you're off (of). Bags are free in ASDA
