Do you really need to take it all as hand luggage?

Cards/batteries don't weigh anything and the major stuff is expensive so its not leaving my side at anytime

Chargers and the cleaning fluid will go in the main luggage.

Cheers.

Just make sure your bag is within the size limits.

My bag (just by 2cm!) goes through the bag limits, bit heavier than 6kg but sssh

When i went to kenya i had fun at every xray machine!
goes through scanner - gets pull to one side as do i, asked if okay to go through bag and i say yeah sure.
THey have a look and my bag stowes the camera in a seperate part at the bottom. They go in from the top an cant find it! they looked confiused then i point out that its in the bottom. they look at the camera like they never seen a DSLR before.

ha ha well im fully expecting them do that. But as im within the limits they can shove it

not really 2 sets for camera and flash!

I am taking a charger, but as these things weigh next to nothing and take up next to little space its better to be safe than sorry.

In theory I should be able to take 4500 photos with the batteries I have charged.

But then again 3 might fail seeing as they are cheapies with one Canon
