Practical to take with you and not too invasive, these high-tech devices have become essential on vacation. To never run out of energy, relax or immortalize your best moments, discover the items you should definitely not forget when packing your bags.
An external battery
It has almost become vital: it is impossible to go on holiday without your power bank. This device fits in your pocket and is available in different capacities depending on your needs. Regarding the offer, you are spoiled for choice, with prices ranging from 15 to 150 euros depending on the capacity. To power a smartphone, a 5,000 mAh power bank will do the job perfectly, for example. Above all, make sure to choose a model equipped with the connectors corresponding to your smartphone, while avoiding the first prices of obscure brands. Thanks to this battery, you will never again run out of ideas to take more photos or videos.
Wireless headphones
To enjoy your music wherever you are, escape with your wireless headphones, which also give you total freedom of movement. Those who really want to isolate themselves, in their own bubble, will opt for a model with noise reduction. In terms of choice, there is obviously something for all tastes and budgets, from Apple AirPods to Bose QC Earbuds, including the more accessible Huawei FreeBuds range. In another genre, there are also waterproof bone conduction wireless headphones, with an integrated MP3 player, so you can enjoy your favorite music while swimming.
A Bluetooth speaker
To party by the pool, on the beach, on a boat or even on a picnic in the countryside, consider taking a portable speaker with you. With it, you will be sure to liven up any family gathering or evening with friends, knowing that everyone will be able to enjoy the sound they like if they connect their smartphone to it. The offer is plentiful and for less than 100 euros you can easily find a model that is durable and efficient enough to party until the end of the night.
A TV key
In the hotel room, or at a friend’s house, in France or abroad, never miss your favorite series and films again. Today, you can find many TV sticks to plug into any television. You will be able to enjoy all your favorite content, provided of course that you have access to a good Wi-Fi connection. The most efficient and complete models remain, unsurprisingly, Google’s Chromecast and Amazon’s Firestick, even if alternatives exist.
A sports camera
Essential if you like thrills and especially filming them, action cameras allow you to capture many unforgettable moments, on land, at sea or in the air. Go Pro remains essential with its versatile products, from its Hero12 series to its Max model, the most complete. Whether you are a fan of surfing, climbing, skydiving or skiing, you can easily immortalize your exploits with this type of compact and easy-to-use camera. Today, many models even allow you to film in 360 degrees, for a spectacular 3D rendering.
Also don’t forget…
Also remember to take a universal adapter in your suitcase, to be able to charge your various electronic devices abroad. Before leaving, check what type of plug is in force where you are going. If there are adapters dedicated to each type of plug, you can also opt, once and for all, for a universal model, functional absolutely anywhere under any standard. Also remember to take some waterproof pouches, especially if you are going to the sea, in order to protect your smartphone and various other connected objects on the beach from sand and sea water. Finally, don’t forget to leave a Bluetooth GPS tracker (AirTag or other) in your backpack, in case you lose it or have it stolen.
