Our must-have travel gear
As a travel blogger, creating beautiful, engaging content is both my passion. Over the years, we’ve refined our list of photography gear that make capturing those unforgettable moments easier, more stylish, and more fun. Here’s a peek inside my travel bag with my personal must-haves that help me bring my stories to life.
Our camera Fujifilm XT3
Our Fujifilm XT3 is our go-to for capturing rich, detailed shots, especially in low light or when I want a more cinematic look. This camera has been a game-changer, with its incredible color depth and image quality that makes my photos pop. Plus, the XT3’s WiFi capabilities mean I can quickly transfer photos for editing and posting.
Lenses for every scene: Fujifilm XT3 lens collection
Having a range of lenses with my Fujifilm XT3 lets us adapt to different scenes and capture exactly the look we’re going for:
Kit Lens 18-55mm F2.8-4: Our versatile go-to lens for travel, perfect for everything from landscapes to portraits. It’s great for when we want a flexible zoom range without switching lenses constantly.
23mm F2: This lens is ideal for street photography and travel portraits, with a wide aperture for gorgeous depth of field and that classic “storytelling” feel.
35mm F2: Perfect for detail shots, with a slightly tighter focal length that’s amazing for isolating subjects and achieving beautifully crisp images.
55-200mm F3.5-4.8: This zoom lens is perfect for capturing distant landscapes, wildlife, or any scene where we want to get up close without physically being there. It offers excellent reach with great image stabilization, allowing me to capture crisp details from afar.
16mm F1.4: This wide-angle lens is perfect for capturing expansive landscapes, architecture, and even night scenes with its incredible low-light performance. The fast aperture creates beautiful background blur and helps with those dreamy, immersive shots that pull viewers right into the scene.
iPhone 15 pro max: high-quality photos and videos on the go
My iPhone 15 pro max is my go-to. Its advanced camera system lets me capture high-quality images and videos, and I love how I can quickly switch between the ProRAW mode for detailed photos and the cinematic mode for smooth, professional-looking videos.
DJI mini drone and DJI Osmo
Our DJI Mini Drone is the ultimate tool for capturing breathtaking aerial shots that give a whole new perspective on the places we visit. It’s compact and easy to carry, but powerful enough to capture stunning landscapes. we can showcase destinations from above, adding cinematic views that make my content stand out. It’s compact, easy to handle, and perfect for those cinematic shots that bring my travel stories to life.
The DJI Osmo action 3 adds a level of polish to my content that’s hard to achieve with handheld video alone.The DJI Osmo action 3 is my go-to for capturing steady, professional-looking video footage, whether I’m walking through bustling city streets or hiking scenic trails. Its built-in stabilizer ensures my videos are smooth and shake-free, even in dynamic environments.
Power bank
We can’t tell you how many times our power bank has saved us! Between shooting photos, editing, and staying connected, my phone and camera batteries tend to drain quickly. A high-capacity power bank is our little lifesaver, especially during long days of exploring.
Our travel bag
I’m a bit obsessed with finding the perfect travel bag, something stylish but also practical. Our current Lowepro bag has just enough room for all our essentials!
With padded compartments for our camera and tech, it keeps everything organized and protected.
DIJ stabilizer for smoother videos
This DIJ stabilizer has made all the difference in my travel vlogs! It’s foldable and easy to pack, which makes it perfect for capturing smooth, cinematic footage on the go.
It’s perfect for walking shots, city explorations and any moment when we want to capture movement without the shake. It’s one of those accessories we didn’t know we needed until we tried it!
Analog Camera
When we're in the mood for a touch of nostalgia, we reach for our Nikon analog camera. There's something magical about film photography, the suspense of waiting for the film to develop and the warmth it brings to every shot. This camera offers a different, almost romantic experience that’s perfect for capturing memories with a vintage vibe.
Camera tripod
Our Sirui tripod is a travel-friendly essential in our camera kit. It's incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry with us no matter where our adventures lead. Despite its compact size, it provides the stability we need for sharp, professional shots.
Each of these items plays a unique role in helping me capture, create and share the moments that matter most. They make travel content creation easier, more organized and stylish. So whether I’m on a quick weekend getaway or a long-haul adventure, I know we have everything we need to bring our travel stories to life.
