Flying with lots of photo gear

If your roller bag is pretty close to the weight and dimensions for cabin baggage it should be allowed on. Most airlines are a bit generous especially with the weight allowance.

Swiss air also allows a "thin laptop bag" as well as a carryon, so that shouldn't be a problem. Put your laptop and charger in that, and probably some other stuff. Jackets also don't count as cabin baggage, and are allowed in addition to both of the above. (i.e. one jacket). Your passport can go in a pocket.

Finally is there some part of your gear that you could check? I understand the reluctance to check the cameras or lenses, but is a light meter replaceable in Switzerland? A flash? How about film? I assume it would all be insured, so if it did go missing the main thing would be the inconvenience of replacement
