Travel Reviews

Ever since I got my Mavic Pro, I’ve been wanting to take those long exposure shots of waterfalls. Thanks to my ND filters, I was able to do just that. My aerial photography has improved by leaps and bounds because of these filters, so much so that I don’t bother taking it off my drone anymore.

In most situations, even if you need a steady shot (for a long exposure night shot, or for a selfie with your family etc), you’ll usually be able to find a level place to put your camera to achieve the same thing. Lugging a tripod around on holiday, even if it is a lightweight travel tripod, isn’t my idea of fun! Having said that, for those of you who just have to have a tripod in your backpack, these are my picks of the 5 best travel tripods available in 2017.

Ever wonder how people take those half over, half underwater shots? This is how they do it – with the GoPro Dome.

Alunsina Handmade Books makes handsome coptic-bound journals. Laptops may be indispensable these days but what writer or travel blogger wouldn’t want a journal like this? For purists, there’s still something to be said about putting pen to paper.

I was all smiles when I picked this up from the post office the other day. I’d been wanting something to commemorate all our travels and now I finally had it. And to find out that it was all for a good cause made it even more special.

If you travel a lot and have money to spend, then you’ll appreciate the TUO (especially if you’re into deisgn). It makes a great gift as well for that jetsetting friend or family member who has everything.

Tripomatic was a travel planning app with navigation so this partnership with Sygic — a family of world-class GPS navigation apps used by over 150,000,000 drivers — promises good things.
