We hope this article helps you level up your adventure travel photography skills. Continue reading to see what equipment we use for stunning adventure travel photography.
As of the summer of 2021, we have been using the Sony a7iii mirrorless camera. This is one of the best camerasfor adventure travel.It is also one of the best cameras for beginners.
As for our lens, we use a lens wide enough to capture everything in front of us, no matter how close or far away things are.A standard zoom lens is best for this purpose as it covers all types of lenses without requiring you to change them frequently.
We are currently using the Sony 28-70 mm lens. It is an excellent lens for landscape photography.You can purchase the Sony a7iii and 28-70 mm lens package (this is what we did).
A tripod is another essential piece of equipment for adventure photography. It compensates for any shakiness you might feel while holding your camera in front of you and allows you to take photos with slow or faster shutter speeds.
We are currently using the UBeesize 67” Camera Tripod (which we purchased on Amazon). It collapses down to 20.1” and is easy to strap onto our hiking bag.
