maxxjr Posted May 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Has anyone run into any size limitations for back packs or camera bags for the helicoptor tours to the glaciers? I have a smallish camera back pack that I use...on my lap, it only comes about two-thirds of the way up my chest. I read somewhere a few months ago about someone having a problem with his/her bag, but have lost the link. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted May 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yep, there's a size limitation - zero. You are not allowed to take any kind of purse, pack, bag, etc. on the helicopter. If it doesn't fit in your pocket, it can't go with you. Period. Wear a big jacket with lots of pockets. Also if you weigh over 250 lbs with gear, boots and all, you get charged extra for the flight.

Sure you can carry your camera; the question was about camera bags. As Wolfie replied, not bags, camera or otherwise are allowed. I plan to have my camera around my neck, and a lens or two in my pockets. -- Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomabound Posted May 17, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I am going on one of the glacier treks and planned to take my SLR camera, but now I'm concerned about taking it without a bag in case it starts to rain. Does anybody know whether the bags they provide for the treks are large enough to accomodate a camera? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
