Today is a golden age of travel. A hundred years ago, air and auto travel was a rarity, making vacationing only possible for the wealthy. Now you can see some of the most beautiful places in the world when you break away from the office. Whether it is a day trip or the vacation of a lifetime, taking photos lets you hold the vacation in your memories forever. Before your next trip, consider the following ways to capture your vacation.
MirrorCase
The best smartphones like the Galaxy S7 have fast processors and a video camera that is professional grade. They are ideal for grabbing and sharing the beauty and adventure of traveling. The downside is that the photographer is relegated to working the camera. MirrorCase uses optical technology to redirect images, so you don’t need to hide your face behind your smartphone. After you take your video, MirrorCase turns your device into a projector, so you can share it with others.
GoPro
If you’re an active traveler, try out a GoPro. If you are climbing a cliff, white water rafting or jumping from a plane, holding your smartphone to take video is out of the question. Instead, GoPro cameras attach to your helmet, clothing or vehicle to capture the excitement. The camera ranges from $200 to $500, depending on your needs. All of them deliver high-quality video, are waterproof and have a sharing function for email and social media. The high-end camera has 4K30 resolution, 240 frames per second and settings for different levels of light. Best of all, you do not need to fumble with it while adventuring. Just set it and go.
Tylt Energi
The best video system in the world is nothing more than a paperweight if it doesn’t have power. A dead battery and no place to charge it can be heartbreaking if you’re trying to hold on to a special memory. The Tylt Energi pack carries a dual purpose. First, it acts as a USB charging port when it is plugged into an outlet. It prioritizes your devices, charging the most depleted first and then charging itself. Second, it acts as a portable power source. Just grab it and go. The Energi 6K serves as a 6,000Ah portable battery that keeps your devices running throughout the day.
Solar Charging Belt
When you are out in nature, camping or hiking, you need to go green with your energy needs. That is what Nitfy did with its solar charging belt. Photovoltaic cells are embedded into a wearable belt and give off enough energy to charge an iPhone. As long as you have the sun, you will never run out of power.
Digital Foci
There are limits to the amount of vide you can store on your smartphone or GoPro. If you have internet access, you can download your photos and videos to the cloud. However, if you don’t have internet access, Digital Foci Photo Safe II lets you store 500GB of data without the need to move it to a computer first. Costing less than $200, Photo Safe lives up to its name and keeps your digital memories safe.
