What We Actually Use
Our Gear
Tested on four continents, approved by two kids. This is every piece of gear that made the cut — and why.
Gear Guide
Everything We Carry
Affiliate links help keep the lights on. We only list gear we've actually used and would buy again.
Anker 100W GaN Charger
One charger, four devices. We replaced every plug-in charger we own with this one brick. Non-negotiable for family travel.
Canon G7X Mark II
The flip screen sold us. Vlogging with kids requires holding the camera at weird angles in cramped spaces — the G7X handles it all with a form factor that doesn't scream 'tourist'.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Our secret weapon for smooth, cinematic footage without a gimbal setup. The 1-inch sensor is overkill in the best way — we use this for 80% of our walking shots.
GoPro Hero 4
Yes, it's old. No, we won't replace it. Strapped to the kids' helmets in Greece, dunked in the Adriatic, dragged through airport security 40+ times — still going. Sometimes durability beats specs.
Peak Design 45L Travel Bag
The bag that made one-bag travel a reality for us. Fits in every overhead bin we've tested, including European budget carriers.
SanDisk Extreme 512GB
We shoot a lot of footage. A lot. The SanDisk Extreme handles 4K video without breaking a sweat and we've never had a card failure — knock on wood.
