Gadgets are not just types of equipment; they support your journey to a new destination by making life easier and relieving difficulties that show up while you travel. Below are some gadgets available online that enhance the experience of travelling to any part of the world. Please note that price and availability may vary across different stores and websites. 

This camera is an outstanding option if you want to go in aeroplane mode during your trip. It has a V50X model and can record 4K full-HDR video at 30 FPS. The versatility of the styles available for photography or videography makes this gadget a valuable item.

The device comes with electronic image stabilisation and has a 2-inch touch screen enabled with an In-Plane Switching (IPS) display, with which you can shoot at various angles and click images of fast-moving objects. This WI-Fi connectable camera comes with a removable battery and can hold 1350 mA of charge per hour. It also supports slow-motion recording. The camera is waterproof to approximately 40 metres of water.

Carrying this gadget to faraway destinations will lift the load of fixing dry clothes that need a little bit of straightening. It works faster than usual irons due to its mobile setup. The iron is only 14-inches long and weighs no more than 1.5 pounds - ideal for travelling purposes. It is small to fit in, and one can comfortably iron without any board. The tool takes approximately 10 minutes to steam clothes. The heat settings are customisable based on the type of garments.

This iron comes in multiple shades, including blue, white and green. A steam solution is available with the iron that dampens the cloth - making the iron's work more effective. The steam solution and the iron function together to deodorise and sterilise the garments. 

Fresh and purified water is essential to the human body to keep ourselves hydrated while travelling. This auto-purifying bottle has an activated carbon fibre filter that turns water healthy and clean. It can reduce chlorine, odour and bad taste in water and transform it into drinkable water. It comes in multiple shades, including pink, blue and grey. 

The bottle comes with an 18/8 food-grade stainless steel and a double-wall insulated figure. The insulated figure cools water off and helps keep the water cool for a day. The silicon mouthpiece eases sipping water down through the mouth. The bottle comes with a built-in carry loop, a cup holder and a top rack. This reusable water bottle helps create fewer carbon footprints by replacing go-to plastic water bottles. It can contain approximately 1.2 pounds of water.
