The Gear We Actually Use
Everything here has earned its place in our bags.

Our Travel Kit
Tech
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.

Camera
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'. Key Features 20.1MP 1″ CMOS Sensor DIGIC 7 Image Processor 4.2x Optical Zoom f/1.8-f/2.8 Lens 24-100mm (35mm Equivalent) 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Tilting LCD Touchscreen Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 60 fps Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC ISO 12800, up to 8 fps Shooting Intelligent IS Image Stabilization Manual Control Ring, Time-Lapse Movie

Camera
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.

Camera
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.

Bags
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.
