Re: iPad Pro for Trips : Photo dumping and basic editing.
For two months I photographed a project in the Faroe Islands and did it in the colder season. I had to really consider what I brought and by far the top priority was the right gear all around. There was no way I was going to bring my 16" MBP so I opted for a 11" M1 iPad Pro w/2TB of storage and cell service. I also brought two 2TB OWC Envoy SSD drives to backup on.
In terms of editing, I ever cull while on the road, just select images as per deadlines and clients needs then do the correct archive once I get home. I also don't do much in post on the images I do send out, am a get it right in camera kind of guy.
The iPad Pro was awesome for everything I did and that includes running my business, my duties as photo editor for a magazine, planning my trip, and yes, dealing with photos. It does have the usual workflow and organizational warts to deal with, but in my experience, that is well worth the overall value of the utility I get from it in such a small package. And it is fast, from processing 50MP Hasselblad raw files to putting together 16,000 pixel stitched images from as many as 25 individual files from my Mavic 3 Cine.
So I have adapted to it, used the heck out of it in Iceland last Fall, will take it on a paid job to NYC next week and leave the brand new 16" M2Max MacBook Pro at home. It's a good way to go in my opinion.
