@margomcd That's sort of the ultimate old school, isn't it? And there's no freaking out when you're at 2% battery life. ;)

#WeekendWanderlust A7: Current lineup (in order of appearance): Smartphone, @Canon 80D, @GoPro Hero4. Seriously considering adding a rugged point’n’shoot like @getolympus TG-6. https://t.co/Z5BffraHPR Did we mention our “gadget problem”? #travel

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A7 My smartphone has served me well for most of my photo needs. The first time I wished I had a camera was when I went whale watching in Juneau last summer. I think my long distance photos would have turned out better. #WeekendWanderlust

A5: Our Bose Quiet Comfort headsets. They've been invaluable on long haul flights and working in noisy spaces. They're pretty good at drowning out most annoying things. 😆 #WeekendWanderlust https://t.co/ZTSyUuvtMy

@TravelLatte @Canon @GoPro @getolympus Have thought about getting a GoPro too

Q8: Besides the camera, what photo gear and accessories do you pack with it? #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte A6: Smart phone, but for long road trips a map is just useful if you have to reroute on the fly to avoid weather or highway issues! #weekendwanderlust
TravelLatte
replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @Canon @GoPro @getolympus Our advice it to look at the other sport cameras first. GoPro is still pretty pricey, and mostly doesn't outpeform cheaper rivals. Don't get one just because it's a GoPro, ya know? #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @LitchfieldFund @LitchfieldFund And they're fun to look through and explore - or scheme and dream! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner Camera bag so I don't need purse, light ring, note pad, wireless adapter #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A8: What photo gear we pack depends on the trip. Tripod comes along sometimes, but usually just a couple lenses, in a small(ish) bag. Looking to add a monopole/walking stick. #travel

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @Canon @GoPro @getolympus Thanks great tip 👍 #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @ABritSoutherner And the quality on most of them is pretty great for most photos. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A8 Since I don’t travel with a camera, I’ll take note of the answers for future use. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A8: Have a back up battery that uses solar and or I can just jack it into an outlet when one is handy. #weekendwanderlust

A8: GoPro, Drone, Tripod…ok, not on every trip but we always feel like we should do! #WeekendWanderlust

A3: It may seem excessive and expensive but we travel with a lot of PacSafe gear. We started buying the brand after researching scams for our first SEA trip. We still have the original bags we started off with 4 years ago and they are still going strong. #WeekendWanderlust https://t.co/Rs1QycjwiD

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner We need to get the drone out more and make it an actual useful piece of our gear! #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
replying to @LeonandTash1 @LeonandTash1 Not excessive at all! Love PacSafe, and use a couple of pieces for daytrips or daily sightseeing when we travel. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner You probably have some great drone shots! #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A9: Wish we felt better about checked bags so ALL of our gear wasn’t carry on! But smartphone & tablet are must-haves…with the chargers & earbuds & batteries… #travel

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner Haven't attempted/gotten hooked on drones yet aren't they really pricy still, afraid I'll lose it but curious #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A9: Phone charger! That is my biggest anxiety, do i have power! #weekendwanderlust

replying to @RybaMichele @RybaMichele @ABritSoutherner Prices are getting better - especially if you shop for the last model when the new ones are out, or don't mind an open box sale. The size is getting better too - smaller all the time! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A9 A First Aid kit, change of clothing, and my iPad #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @leisurelambie @leisurelambie @ABritSoutherner First aid kit - good answer! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte You can't beat the peace of mind that comes with these products. Their pickpocket proof backpacks are worth their weight in gold alone lol. It's more of an investment than just a purchase. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @ABritSoutherner Thanks! My kit should have it’s own frequent flyer miles. It goes everywhere with me! #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A10: We just got it! The Red Hydrogen One media machine (aka: smartphone with a 3D camera) But it’s a little intimidating, so it’s just charging up right now. #travel

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A6: Would say a little of both -- Old and New School! #WeekendWanderlust W/@LitchfieldFund

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A10: Well, it is looking like I will have to gather some USB-C cables, adapters, etc. #weekendwanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A10 New luggage! The set I have is starting to show it’s age. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A10: I always threaten to get myself one of those light weight multi-pocket travel vests. Probably won't, though, just keep stuffing the pockets of my cargo shorts! #weekendwanderlust

replying to @Morology @Morology @WWTravelChat In a thousand years, archaeologists are going to dig up tons of USB cables and assume we were Cyborgs. ;) #WeekendWanderlust
