Is that too much? Any advice?
You have a backup body? Bring that and mount a lens on it -- you really
want to avoid changing lenses in a ballon unless you're acrobatic. I'd
probably keep the 10-17 and 50-200 as my primary lenses, but you need to
judge your own inclinations.
There is no problem with changing lenses while airborne in a balloon.
Really, you are just standing there looking out. There is little if any
sense of motion in a hot air balloon, at least until you land. Landings
can be vicious. Carry as little equipment as you can. Back up body?
Forget it. Even an extra lens can cause problems if the landing is a
rough one and things get tossed around the basket.
