hey guys, so I've been considering bringing either my slr or dslr this year and I was wondering if any of you have done so in the past, how have you stored it at the camp site? I don't want them melting in my car in the afternoon sun if I go to an early set and decide to leave it at camp. sorry if this has been discussed anywhere, couldn't find a thread on it.
I brought my DSLR a few times, but I never left it at camp. One piece of advice makes sure every time you go through security you have your smallest lens on. The rule is something like no lenses over 2 inches in length I believe. Some security check it some don't but none ever seemed to notice the second telephoto lens also in my bag.

whoops I accidentally deleted my post trying to move it to the camping thread. but awesome thanks! think I'm gonna bring it this year.
Why is it when bacon replies, the OP deletes their post, making Bacon look like an idiot? It's beautiful.
That on top of the avatar, it just puts it over the top.
I also just bought a fancy mirrorless for Bonnaroo. But now that I have it I'm kind of scared shitless to bring it into that environment. I don't think dust will be an issue this year but just in case it is, I assume if I just never detach my kit lens all weekend and maybe keep a protective filter on the lens I should be good. I'm also not too worried about getting it through security, but there might be a day I don't want to worry about a camera all day in Centeroo. Do hot cars really ruin camera gear? Or will it be fine in a camera bag with some silica gel in the trunk or something like that?
Bring extra plastic bags to keep body and extra lenses in, even when in camera bag. Be sure to be prepared for dust as well as rain. Also blower lens cleaner, and microfiber cloth are a must. Practice lens changes beforehand so you can get it done quickly outdoors. Not sure if good to leave in hot car but I wouldn't recommend it.
