Peak Design Tripod

I absolutely loved the Peak Design tripod on my Iceland adventures, taking photos of the beautiful Northern Lights, and the amazing waterfalls. The Peak Design does come a bit expensive, but it is worth the cost for it’s sleekness, easy to carry and portable design.

There are two variants of the Peak Design tripod, one being a carbon fiber tripod, and the other being aluminum. Functionality, both are the same, but the carbon fiber weighs slightly less, and costs a couple hundred dollars more.

I would not hesitate with the aluminum tripod for an everyday travel tripod. It is one of the best out there.

When buying a tripod, please take into consideration how much weight the tripod can hold!

Alternative Tripods for Consideration

Cheaper: Manfrotto Befree Tripod

Ultra Budget: Sirui Carbon Fiber

Kase ND Filters

ND Filters or neutral density filters are great gifts for photographers and vidographer that spend alot of their day in sunlight. For photography, it helps to achieve long-exposing images that help create a smooth effect of water. It comes in handy especially if they love photographing waterfalls, and nature.

For the Kase filters, it is best to buy the biggest size available, and buy adapter rings. If you are unsure, usually 82 inches are a safe bet for biggest size (unless they have really big lenses).

Alternative ND Filters

The following ND filters may not be adaptive to other lens sizes. They are good options for single lens uses. Prior to purchase, inquire the lens size.

Peter MacKinnons ND Filter

Ultra Budget: K&F Variable ND Filter

Peak Design Everyday Sling

Yes, admittedly, I am a big fan of Peak Design products (and no, I am not sponsored by Peak Design, though I do offer Amazon affiliate services). The everyday sling is just simple, stylish and waterproof. You do not need to lug a huge backpack while going out for street or everyday photography.

Depending on the camera size, there is the 3L, 6L and 10L options, I would opt for the 6L as it is the sweet spot.

Peak Design Camera Capture Clip

The Peak Design camera capture clip is the absolute bomb! (excuse the language). If you have a backup, it is extremely useful to clip it to the backpack when you are out shooting.

It is something as a photographer I cannot live without, also, it is one of the more budget friendly option on the list.

Gimbal

If the fellow photographer is following the dark path of videography, a Gimbal will be essential. The Zhiyun Crane M3 is less of a burden compared to the other bigger gimbals, however you will have to be aware of the size and weight prior to buying, as it won’t carry the heaviest of loads.

Mini-Tripod for Vlog

The Mini-Tripod is compact, and easy to fit in a backpack, and it is very popular tool among content creators, as you can hold the mini-tripod with just your hand. I would say it never hurts to have a mini-tripod with you, and you can easily find some for less than $50 at some stores!

SSD Hard Drive

You can never have enough SSD hard drive as a photographer! You would be surprised how fast some of our hard drive fills up.

The Samsung T5 or T7 external hard drives are true and tested, and provide great performance. I have had both, and do not have any issues with it. 1TB would be the preferable option, but there are 500gb ones available as well.

Peak Design Camera Wrist Strap

A camera wrist strap can often be less burdensome than having a neck strap. The wrist strap easily attachable to the camera, and provides extra security. I cannot do without it! There are other brands available as well, such as Altura, but I have not personally tested it.

Apurture MC

The APurture MC allows for flexible filmmaking, while providing multiple lighting modes. It can be controlled via mobile device, while showing different colors. It is a unique tool. If you want to add cool lighting to a photograph, this very well may do the job.

Adobe Lightroom Subscription

Having a photo editing software is one of the more essential items on the list. It gives you the power to expose images, play around with texture and clarity, while adjusting the color and backgrounds. There are many tools available, however, one of the most standard one is Adobe Lightroom, and you really cannot go wrong with it.
