Secondly, wrap the sled in bubble wrap and place it in a suitcase or other hard-bodied piece of luggage. Then you can add the vest and the monitor into it, but keep the batteries with you. The clothes provide excellent cushioning for your steadicam components. If you are flying, check the suitcase. If carrying an expensive piece of equipment like the Steadicam via air travel, you should choose the most direct route to the destination, which gives you a better chance for your equipment to reach at the same time as you do, for missed connections and delayed flights could delay your equipment and your shoot. That could be disastrous.
