Best Travel Cameras:
The DJI Mini 4 Pro

We love DJI drones, and our personal favourite is the DJI Mini 4 Pro! This compact, powerful drone is perfect for travellers looking to capture stunning aerial footage on their adventures without breaking the bank. With its lightweight design and advanced features, this drone is easy to pack and take with you wherever you go. Whether you’re exploring remote landscapes or bustling cityscapes, this drone delivers smooth, high-quality video and crisp photos that will take your travel memories to new heights. It is an essential part of our travel camera equipment! 

As this drone is sub-250 grams, it falls into the micro-drone category, which means it is exempt from certain regulations in many countries. This makes it easier to fly in various locations without navigating complex legal restrictions, allowing you to focus on capturing stunning aerial footage hassle-free. The intelligent flight modes, compact size, and long battery life put the DJI Mini 4 Pro up there with some of the best travel cameras!

The DJI Mini 4 Pro ND Filters

ND (Neutral Density) filters are an essential part of our travel camera equipment. These are accessories for enhancing the aerial photography and videography capabilities of the DJI Mini 4 Pro. These filters are like sunglasses for your drone’s camera, reducing the amount of light that enters the lens without affecting colour balance. By decreasing the light reaching the camera sensor, ND filters allow you to achieve better exposure settings in bright conditions, resulting in smoother, more cinematic footage and eliminating overexposed highlights. 

Whether you’re capturing stunning landscapes or filming fast-moving subjects, ND filters give you greater creative control over your shots, allowing you to achieve professional-quality results in a variety of lighting conditions. With a range of ND filter strengths available, you can easily adapt to different lighting situations and capture breathtaking aerial imagery with your DJI Mini 4 Pro.

Lipo Safe Battery Bags

Lipo (Lithium Polymer) cases are essential accessories for safely storing and transporting lithium drone batteries, such as those used in the DJI Mini 4 Pro. These compact and durable cases are specifically designed to protect against the risk of fire or explosion that can occur if lithium batteries are damaged or mishandled. With their fire-resistant materials and secure closures, Lipo cases provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for drone enthusiasts on the go. 

Moreover, many airlines require them to comply with regulations for travelling with lithium drone batteries, making them a must-have for air travel with your drone gear. Whether you’re travelling with your drone or storing batteries at home, investing in Lipo cases is a smart precaution to ensure the safety of yourself, your equipment, and those around you.

Best Travel Cameras:

PolarPro underwater filters are awesome little accessories for GoPro users who love capturing vibrant underwater footage. Specifically designed to correct the colour distortion caused by underwater environments, these filters enhance the clarity and richness of your underwater shots. By filtering out the blue and green wavelengths of light, PolarPro filters restore the natural colours of marine life, corals, and underwater landscapes, resulting in stunningly lifelike footage. 

There are three different shades to work for any depth of underwater adventure!  With a durable construction and easy-to-attach design, these filters are a must-have for any underwater adventurer looking to capture the beauty of the ocean with their GoPro.

GoPro Underwater Housing

The GoPro Underwater Protective Housing is the perfect accessory for capturing stunning underwater footage with your GoPro HERO 12. While the GoPro 12 is already waterproof to a depth of 33 feet (10 meters), if you want to go deeper, you will need to add this protective housing to your travel camera equipment. We also prefer to use protective housing in shallower waters to protect from saltwater corrosion. 

Designed to withstand the rigours of underwater environments, this housing provides reliable protection for your camera while diving, snorkeling, or swimming. With its durable construction and waterproof design, the housing allows you to safely submerge your GoPro to depths of up to 196 feet (60 meters), ensuring you can capture every breathtaking moment beneath the surface. The housing also features a flat glass lens that helps to maintain sharpness and clarity in underwater footage, while the integrated mounting buckle makes it easy to attach your GoPro to various mounts and accessories.

GoPro Dome Housing

Dome housing for a GoPro camera underwater offers several benefits, particularly for capturing split-screen pictures. The dome shape helps to push the waterline away from the camera lens, allowing for a clear division between the underwater and above-water scenes. This results in stunning half-and-half images that beautifully showcase both underwater and terrestrial environments, making dome housing a great addition to your travel camera equipment.

Additionally, dome housing reduces distortion and improves image sharpness, enhancing the overall quality of your underwater photography. This makes it an invaluable accessory for us and would be great for anyone interested in snorkelling, diving and general underwater photography.

GoPro Floating Hand Grip

The GoPro Floating Hand Grip is the perfect accessory for capturing worry-free footage in and around the water. Its bright orange design ensures high visibility and this grip provides essential buoyancy to your GoPro camera, helping to keep it afloat if accidentally dropped. Honestly, this is probably the most important accessory if you own a GoPro, we can’t tell you how many people we know who have lost their GoPro because they did not attach a floating device of some kind.

With its secure hand grip, adjustable wrist strap, and waterproof construction, the floating hand grip allows you to confidently capture smooth and stable footage while surfing, snorkelling, kayaking, or participating in any water-based activities.
