Vacation Essentials for Photographers
Summer is officially here and vacations are right around the corner. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just getting started, these are some products we recommend for you to have on hand for your next trip!
The most obvious item to bring along on your trip is the right camera bag. Check out this post where we break down our different bag options, from a rollerpack to a shoulder bag and a full-feature backpack. ProMaster bags are purposefully designed to fit all of your camera gear in a stylish, secure space. There’s a ProMaster bag that will perfectly fit all of your camera gear and keep it safe and secure in transit.
Vacation is the perfect opportunity to change up your style. Add a vibrant strap, like our tapestry straps, or add a classic, comfortable strap, like our padded rope straps, if you’ll be going out on long shoots. If you’re planning on getting into the water with your waterproof camera, we recommend adding a float strap that will help stabilize underwater shots and keeps your camera from quickly sinking to the bottom.
Filters can make all the difference for capturing the image you have in mind and add a layer of protection to your expensive lens. Make sure you bring along the right filter for your style of photography. Not sure where to start? Check out our article that breaks down the different filter types and when to use them for their intended effect. ProMaster HGX Filters feature ultra-hardened glass and Repellemax II coating for ultimate lens protection.
Whether you’re shooting landscape, astrophotography, waterfalls, macro photography, or family pictures, you’ll want a dependable and adaptable tripod on hand. Tripods help stabilize your camera and help you reach new perspectives for your composition. Read about our full line of tripods here. Tight on space? Look for a compact monopod or handheld tripod for some added stability and control.
There’s nothing worse than being out on a shoot and having your battery die, especially when you’re traveling and away from home. From innovative batteries that charge via USB-C to battery charging kits with all the accessories included, and backup batteries sure to fit your camera, ProMaster can help keep your camera charged and ready to go, wherever your travels take you.
The next worst thing to having your battery die? Running out of storage space. It is always a good idea to have an extra memory card in your bag so you never have to worry about storage. Select the right SD card for your trip. If you’re concerned about the durability of your card, check out the ProMaster Rugged line of cards. No matter the card you bring, make sure it’s stored safely in a case.
Feeling Ready for Your Trip?
Now that you know the essentials to bring on your trip, you’re ready to go! If your travels take you internationally, remember to throw in an all-in-one travel charger that can convert to over a hundred countries. Pack a few cleaning supplies to keep your gear in top shape while away from home. Consider bringing along an LED on-camera light just in case you need some extra lighting. And, most importantly, make sure you capture your memories!
