Camera Essentials
A really easy travel camera if you want better-looking photos without carrying a huge setup around all day. Small enough to throw in a bag when you're walking around the city.
Sony ZV-1 II
Fun if you want physical photos from your trip instead of everything staying on your phone. I’d bring this for friend photos, cafés, and nights out.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12
A tiny point-and-shoot that gives you that older digital-camera look without taking up much room. Perfect if you like the slightly nostalgic photos.
PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A
This is a cute little budget camera if you want that early-digital-camera look without spending a ton. It’s small enough to bring on trips or nights out when you want something more fun than taking everything on your phone.
DVC Digital Video Camera Full HD 1280x720P Max 16 ...
Phone Photography
Handy if you're traveling with friends and don't want to constantly ask strangers to take pictures. You can set your phone up for group shots around the city.
JOBY GripTight ONE GP, Universal Phone Holder ...
Probably one of the most useful things to throw in your bag if you're planning photoshoots. You can get full-body pictures without needing someone else behind the camera.
Best Cell Phone Tripods
For walking around the city
Much easier than carrying a full backpack when you're spending the day walking through different neighborhoods. Look for one with enough room for your camera, extra battery, and phone.
Camera Bags
Your phone is going to get used for photos, maps, tickets, and directions all day, so I'd consider this a must-have.
Portable Charger
Especially nice if you're using a small camera and don't want to keep putting it back in your bag every time you see a good photo.
Camera Straps | Wrist & Shoulder Straps
Little extras
Tiny and easy to pack, and useful when you're constantly moving between outdoors, cafés, and shops.
K&F CONCEPT 4 in 1 Camera Lens Cleaning Kit ...
The last thing you want is to run out of storage halfway through your day.
