After the last two weeks of traveling, I am a little whupped already. But, in every cloud is a silver lining, as I noticed a few items that I would find useful on every trip. With the idea of travel items in mind, I started asking my travel companions and online friends and forum members about what they consider “essential” travel accessories. Photo gear made the list on several levels, including one that made the top ten! So far I’ve seen 25 different items recommended by various people.
The ones that made the top ten:
Rank | Item | # Votes |
01 | Emergency/First Aid/Medical Kit | 6 Votes |
02 | Eye Shades | 4 Votes |
03 | Extension Cord | 3 Votes |
04 | Ear Plugs/Noise-canceling headphones | 3 Votes |
05 | International Adaptor | 3 Votes |
06 | Swiss Army Knife | 2 Votes |
07 | Bottled Water | 2 Votes |
08 | Travel Blanket | 2 Votes |
09 | iPad/Netbook | 2 Votes |
10 | Camera | 2 Votes |
So, we made the top ten travel gadgets with the camera! Some other notable items that included camera type things were batteries, USB drives, and an extension cord (for charging electronics)! Kind of a cheesy post for Friday, but it does make me wonder what people would consider their top ten photo accessories for their camera bag! What’s the census out there in photo land? Got your own travel gadgets you must have? Or even camera gadgets for your photo bag? Sound off in the comments, and if enough crop up repeatedly, a poll may be in the future! Have a great Halloween, and don’t eat too much sugar!
