Find out what we use to take our best travel pictures!
*Disclosure: This post contains several affiliate links, which means we receive a small commission (no cost to you) if you purchase an item through our link.*
1. Your Smartphone.
Your smartphone. All of our photos are shot on iPhone. Traveling with a large bulky DSLR can be a little challenging especially if you pack super light like us. We prefer keeping it super simple and taking photos with what we already have and need for other reasons. Samsung also has some great models and photo power. We prefer iPhone because it meshes well with our other devices.
2. PIVO Tripod.
This is a really helpful device, especially when traveling alone. The Pivo tripod connects to your phone with Bluetooth and uses AI to track your movements and take the best videos of you while you’re moving around. There are 12 different modes to help you create content, and its also very compact so you don’t have to spend much space on it. Find it here. There is also a “lite” version that comes in cute colors.
3. A macro and wide angle lens.
Though we love our iPhone cameras, sometimes they don’t have the power we need to capture dramatic landscapes. The Xenvo Pro Lens kit is affordable but effective, and even comes with an LED light to capture moments in the dark.
4. Stay clean.
Don’t forget cleaning cloths! Microfiber cleaning cloths allow you to keep your lenses clean and intact so you don’t have ugly smudges on your photos. Find it here.
5. Deep blue sea.
This is a big ticket item, but is really helpful if you plan on taking pictures underwater. If snorkeling and diving is your thing, then the Underwater Smartphone SeaLife Scuba Case is for you. It keeps your phone nice and safe while taking high quality photos in the deep blue. It has an option of coming with a light, but that will set you back an extra $400.
6. Don’t forget the memories!
This cool photo printer that allows you to easily print out pictures from your trip afterwards.
