- Fujifilm X70
- 3rd party X100 adapter and hood
- External battery charger and four batteries
- External USB charger
- Ultrapod II mini tripod
- Filter case with 49 to 52 step up adapter, circular polarizer, R72 filter, and two ND8 filters
- Nexus 7 tablet with Fuji Remote, Google Photos, Snapseed, Kindle App, Google Maps, etc.
- Tactical zooming flashlight
- USB cable with OTG adapter for direct X70 to Nexus 7 transfers

Add to the bag a passport, itinerary, water bottle, ibuprofen, sunscreen, etc. and we are ready for Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca.
