Must Have Travel Gadgets for Summer

Must Have Travel Gadgets for Summer

Memorial Day weekend marks unofficial start to summer. Kick off your summer well, with these cool gadgets:

WiFi Router
Tired of looking for a secure Wi-Fi network during your travels? A Wi-Fi hotspot, such as TP-LINK Wireless Travel Router, creates a wireless network from your standard hotel Ethernet connection, giving your multiple wireless devices a stable network connection.






Underwater Camera

Liquid Image Explorer Series Underwater Camera

Staying a float usually takes two hands and a bit of movement. Both make it harder to take clear underwater shots. This camera and mask combo lets you shoot with just one hand. And since it is already on your face and has your view whenever you turn, you don't have to find the object in the viewfinder. Just look and click.

GoPro HERO3+ Camera

An Action Camera
For taking videos above water as well as some in the water activity shots, and action cam is a great gadget. You would want one with great stability and resolution as the objects would be moving quite a bit as well as the videographer.

Travel-Proof Compact Camera

Canon PowerShot D30 Waterproof Digital Camera

This camera can go under water over 30 feet. Shockproof when dropped from around 5 feet. Has a 5x image stabilized zoom, which makes it great for taking shots on the move.

Anker 24W USB Wall Charger PowerIQ

Open up multiple plugin sockets with this useful travel accessory. Instead of just charging one device via a wall outlet, you would be able to charge 2 or 3 at once. Keep your important gadgets juiced up and ready to go.

Water Safe Containers

WITZ See it Safe Waterproof ID/Badge Holder Case

Hard-shell waterproof container is great for camping, boating, poolside or at the beach. It holds money, credit cards and keys while you enjoy fun in the sun.

Waterproof Phone Case

The stay dry bag is a clear vinyl waterproof bag that can hold phones as well as cameras, mp3 players, and more

OverBoard Waterproof iPad Case

Outdoor Speaker and Charger in One

JBL Charge Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Outdoor speakers are great for travel as they are rugged shock-proof and water-resistant. And like the speakers depicted above, have great sound to listen to the tunes with your buds. Moreover, these wireless speakers can even charge your other mobile devices on the go via its built-in USB port and 6000mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that provides more than 12 hours of playback time.

Swiss Army Knife -
its a classic multi-tool. Everything you need and more within one device. Now it also comes with tech gadgets such as USB, flashlight, digital clock and thermometer. I think it is one of the most useful non-electronic gadgets and great to have everywhere. Swiss Army knife reinvented. Though make sure that when flying you pack it into your checked luggage.

Did You Know?:
Chances of getting struck by lightning are 1:700,000. Chances of getting skin cancer 1:5. Sunscreen should definitely be a must have travel accessory when traveling this summer.
