My Travel Gear

by wtg_admin

My Travel Gear

Sometimes I get questions from people asking what type of camera, drone, or other gear I use, so I’ve put together this list of my travel essentials to help you get started.

These aren’t all of the items I use while traveling, but they’re some of my must haves. I’m a big fan of all of these items, and I’ve had lots of experience with them over the years, but if I upgrade to something new then I’ll try to update the list as well.

This is almost everything you need to travel the world and take lots of photos and videos while doing it! If you have any questions about any of this gear, feel free to ask me!
 

My Travel Camera

β€’ Fujifilm X-T5 Mirrorless Digital Camera

This is my current go-to camera for most of the photography I do in my travels. You can see some photo samples in my Gallery, although most of the pictures on my site were taken with the older X-T2 model.

I’m now using the newer and better X-T5 version, but I still have a lot to learn before I master this thing. I love to take pictures with the Fuji X-series cameras and the prices are quite a bit lower than what you’d normally pay for a kitted out DLSR.


 

My Drone

β€’ DJI Air 3S Drone

The DJI Air 3S is great for the price range. It shoots 4K videos and 12/50MP photos, and it’s surprisingly small and easy to fly.

I only upgraded to the Air 3S recently, so a lot of the pictures on my blog were taken with my older Mavic 2 Pro.

Underwater Camera

β€’ Insta360 Ace Pro β€” Waterproof Action Camera

I use an Insta360 Ace Pro for underwater photos and such. It has a 1/1.3″ sensor and much better color accuracy than my old GoPro 7.

I only upgraded to the Insta360 recently though, so a lot of the underwater pics on my blog were taken with my older GoPro.

 

Dry Bag

β€’ Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag

I love this dry bag and I will probably never use another brand. The 30 liter Earth Pak bag has kept my electronics safe from water in some of the most bizarre and extreme situations while island hopping in Indonesia and the Philippines.

Hammock

β€’ Winner Outfitters Portable Double Camping Hammock

This hammock folds down into a small package, making it super portable for hiking. I’ve used it with great success on some epic backpacking trips like the Kalalau Trail in Hawaii.

Truck Tent

β€’ Napier Backroadz Truck Camping Tent

I love this tent and it’s the perfect way to travel the United States on a budget. One time I slept in my Napier truck tent for 6 months and drove 20,000 miles in 8 states, hiking and filming scenic places all over the US. This tent kept me safe and dry through lots of bad storms and temperatures as low as 20 Β°F (-6 Β°C) in the mountains. Plus it just looks awesome!

Travel Adapter

β€’ Worldwide All In One Universal Travel Adapter / Wall Charger

This travel adapter works in 180+ countries. So far, I haven’t found a destination where it doesn’t work! It has 4 USB ports and it’s 120W, so it has enough power to charge laptops through USB-C. If you’re looking for a cheaper adapter that’s also good, here is what my wife uses.
