Airlines vary markedly in policies. If you fly on Lufthansa, they have much more stringent weight requirements for both pieces and actually weigh items in the gate area.

TSA now allows pro photogs to carry one carry-on piece [luggage], one 'personal item' [purse/computer bag] AND your photo bag/backpack. Some airlines don't seem to have heard this, or pretend so. You might want to call your airline to discuss.
