My Hakuba CT-8 Tripod is one of the accessories I could not travel without when visiting photo-rich locations. It weighs only 19.4 ounces, folds up to 11 x 2.5 x 2.5, and easily fits in my backpack. It extends to 44 inches tall, and I use it with the ten-second delay on my […]

In January, Sydney is 17 hours ahead of the US Central Time Zone. The trip is about 27 hours including ground time on either end. So what is the best way to deal with the potential for jet lag?
