The last thing that you want is to travel to an amazing location but not have the equipment needed to capture the moment. In this blog post, I provide a comprehensive guide to travel vlogging equipment, ranging from cameras to lights, tripods, and even drones. Let’s get started!
Tips for Selecting the Best Travel Vlogging Equipment for Your Adventures
If you need guidance on how to select your travel vlogging equipment, look no further! Below are a few suggestions on how to make your decision.

- Versatility – Because the opportunity for creative content is endless when you are traveling, it is important to purchase travel vlogging equipment that is versatile. When it comes to versatility, think about all of the scenarios in which you could use that equipment as well as equipment size.

Look for reviews on equipment that you are considering purchasing. I would also recommend that you look at YouTube videos that show examples of the photos and videos produced by the equipment that you will purchase as well as videos that show the equipment in use.

Finding the Top Travel Vlogging Camera
When it comes to selecting the perfect travel vlogging camera, there are many things to consider and equally as many options. It is important to consider how you will be using the camera if you plan to take more videos versus photos, and also the wight of the camera. If you plan to do a lot of hiking adventures, for example, it may be beneficial to purchase a camera that is much lighter rather than a heavy DSLR.
Choosing Between a DSLR or a Compact Vlogging Camera
With that being said, it is important to know whether you would like to purchase a compact vlogging camera or a DSLR. As such, there are pros and cons to each of these, as outlined below:
Pros and Cons of Compact Cameras
Firstly, the biggest advantage to utilizing a compact camera for vlogging is its size. Compact cameras are much smaller and lighter than the typical DSLR camera.
Comparatively, the biggest con of using a compact camera is quality. While many of these cameras do provide 4k video, the overall footage quality will not be as good as a DSLR. As a result, the camera you choose really depends on your goals and what you are looking for in a camera.
Pros and Cons of DSLR Cameras
The biggest advantage of purchasing a DSLR is that you are going to get much better quality footage than you will with a compact camera. For this reason, this will be important if your goal is to become a professional photographer or videographer or maybe if you want to sell your footage.
In contrast, the biggest disadvantage to purchasing a DSLR to travel vlog is that these cameras (and lenses) can be super heavy! I find that when I’m working and taking photos and videos with my Canon EOS R (and a Zoom lens) my hands often get pretty tired, so this is something to consider as well.
