Documentary filmmaker Nic Good has travelled to some weird and wonderful locations in search of the perfect shot. Here are three items he uses to look after his camera gear.

Addis 4-Side Locked Lunchboxes
“For very wet, stormy conditions, I use a Pelican case for my camera equipment – it’s a heavy-duty plastic case that is 100% waterproof. The rest of the time, however, these Addis lunchboxes are a cheap, effective alternative. They protect my camera kit from water and from being crushed. On kayaking or kloofing assignments you can slide them inside a roll-top dry bag for a bombproof package. Oh, and of course they work well for sarmies too!”

Alcohol swabs
“These are always handy for disinfecting small cuts and grazes, and can also be used to wipe down dirty camera gear.”

Lowepro Pro Trekker Camera Rucksack
“This rucksack is tough and comfortable to carry, and even has a fold-out rain cover. I can fit in a laptop, a spare hard drive, two small video cameras and some clothing. Importantly, it can just squeeze into the overhead compartment of a small aircraft."
