hahahah 1st post already stated "please don't ask me to get a vehicle to solve the problem"Buy a car?
Hi guys, care to share how you make it in a crowded train with your bulky camera equipment bag and a tripod. I still find it space consuming even when I place my bag inbetween my legs while standing on the train. When people are moving in and out of the train, I will have some problem as I need to slide my bag with my leg to make space for them to move out. Please do not ask me to get a vehicle to solve the problem .
I have a solution...
Take either the 3rd or 4th carriage of the train and stand at the wheelchair area (the part where the couple seats are missing).
Live with it......... Seriously.
Do you seriously think somebody has a better idea?
you sure TS won't get beaten up by a grumpy guy in wheel chair?
:sweatsm:
Ride in the first or last car of the train. If there is seat at the extreme end right next to the driver compartment, take that one, and place your tripod, opened but not extended, in front of you and your gear to act as a barrier. Worst case someone kicks your tripod a bit, but no harm done. If no seat, try to stand near that extreme end of the train as well.

This idea of standing near the extreme end of the train sounds good. Chances of people getting off and me blocking them is lower. Btw, taking cab is expensive... I am a lowly paid employee:cry:
i do have the following suggestions:
1. carry your tripod like rifle pt i.e. hands stretched above your head
2. stand by the corner where possible
3. place your equipment under the seats if you are standing in the centre
