NUMBER 1
CHARGING SOLUTION! While travelling, it’s handy to have multiple batteries with you…. batteries that need to be charged after a long day of shooting. I highly recommend you to grab the PowerCube (Winner of the Red Dot Award). This little cube allows you to charge your batteries, notbooks as well as smartphone and tablets using just one single wall socket, since it provides 4 additional outlets and 2 USB ports!

Coupled with this little Adapter, that helps you to get rid of all the cables, you will get rid of all the charging problems.

NUMBER 2
TRAVEL TRIPOD: There are many options, and the choice is not easy. How much should you pay for it?
If you are not that kind of guy, who worries about gear getting stolen, then just grab the ultimate travel tripod, the Gitzo Carbon Travel Tripod… build to last forever. But there are cheaper options, that still do their job just fine.
BHphoto has an excellent overview on Travel Tipods here. I’ll list the best option (Gitzo) and a more affordable one (Manfrotto). I personally use the Sirui T-025x and I consider it fantastic value for the money. Feel Free to add your own suggestion in the comments.
