That's a lot of equipment to carry out into the field.

My advice is to carry less (so that you're lighter and faster on your feet) and concentrate more on finding the unique specimen and setting rather than trying to create a moving studio. Many shots I take are at unbelieveable angles and situations and having even one extra hand to work one off-camera flash or reflector is not possible.

IMO
