Top 5 +3 photography travel gadgets - These companions really help!
I pack my suitcase and take with me... a Camera, lenses, enough batteries and Memory cards, a charger, a suitable bag, a Cleaning cloth and perhaps also a Tripod, a few filters and a Flash unit. These are the things that should definitely be part of your photographic equipment on vacation. This week, however, we would like to introduce you to some other helpers that can make things easier for you.
Pro tip: Before your trip, it's best to check and clean all your equipment again, especially the sensor can still contain some dust particles, it would be a shame if this ruined your perfect vacation shot.
A tripod for traveling? Joby GorillaPod!
The question "Should I take a tripod on vacation?" is very controversial and everyone has different preferences. This is certainly also due to the fact that everyone prefers different motifs. If you concentrate more on street photography, you certainly don't need one. However, as you come across lots of different genres on vacation, you may regret not having a tripod with you here and there. Be it the night panorama, the long exposure at the waterfall or the precise image composition. The Joby GorillaPod Stand black-charcoal 3K is a good alternative for anyone who only uses a tripod from time to time. It is very small at just 24 cm and very light at 247 g. It is also incredibly flexible. Thanks to the movable legs, the camera can be aligned on any conceivable surface and, if the camera is not too heavy, can also be clamped to objects such as railings or branches. This version is designed for cameras up to 3 kg and is therefore ideal for most system and SLR cameras.
Store all cables in one place to save space
If you are going on a trip, you should gather your accessories in one place. There are various solutions from different manufacturers to store the cables and co. in one place, so they can also be stowed in the suitcase or in another place without getting in the way.
Storing photo equipment in your hiking backpack
If you don't want to take an extra photo backpack with you, but still want to protect your photo equipment, you can also do this with a photo insert. These offer storage space for a camera and several lenses or even a drone.
