Are Mirrorless Cameras Better For Travel Photography

Some of the smaller mirrorless cameras are great - but sometimes you just need an SLR. I do both still photography and video.

Small, lightweight, ideal for travel. Great for mirrorless systems & film cameras like Nikon fm2(not good for dlsr and heavy lenses!). If, on a trip, you do not want to carry heavy tripods, this is the right product.

Mirrorless cameras are, for the most part, smaller than their DSLR counterparts. Great for travel, bad for those of us who have big hands. The Fujifilm VG-XH adds additional gripping area, vertical controls and two extra batteries (bringing the total up to 3). Power can be managed with three settings. It also lowers the center of gravity which helps with larger lenses.

I've bought two in the past month. I needed a new wrist strap for both my mirrorless (Sony A6300) and travel (Lumix) cameras. The ones I had were bulky and either slid off my wrist or were not easy to remove from my wrist. The first PD Cuff I put on my Sony and it felt right - didn't add weight, went on/off my wrist easily, and soft & flexible to mush into whatever space I was stuffing my camera. Yes, I have camera bags (one is a PD), but sometimes my cameras find themselves in whatever carrier I have with me at the time. Because I loved the first PD cuff, I bought a second for the travel camera. It is perfect. This camera can be found in pocketbooks, pants pockets, but rarely a camera bag; so, I needed a strap that would not take up any addition space. These straps are secure. Recently, I was hanging off the bow of a boat adjusting an object for a particular shot and at one point I had to grab the rail with both hands. My heart skipped a beat at I watched my camera dangle from my wrist over the water. Even though it was the lighter travel camera, I knew it would have held the heavier mirrorless. I'm not 100% it would hold the Nikon with lens, but given that I rarely use the Nikon, camera/lens weight is not an issue. Tripod, camera backpack, fasteners, and now wrist straps - your products are excellent.

Use this bag to transport my mirrorless cameras when I travel. It really is only good for one body and multiple lenses. You could stuff more in there, but that's not something I'd want to do. Quality is great, material is heavy and provides adequate protection if you wrap your lenses and use the included sleeve to house your camera body. The design of the flap over and latch is great. It's secure but quick and easy to open. That's one of my favorite features.

This is a great tripod especially with the new brands of mirrorless lightweight cameras. Very compact. Great for travel and all other uses. I was concerned about how quickly it can be set up and taken down but it is as fast as my 3 segment tripod. I have heard that you should not use it on sand.

This thing is so versatile! I use it all the time for both video and photography. I wasn't sure if the 1k capacity would work well for my Canon M50 mirrorless (Joby's description says it works for "most" mirrorless cameras), but it has been perfect! I've used cheap flexible tripods before with other cameras, and have never been happy. This one is SO MUCH BETTER than anything else out there. Even with the lens adapter and using larger diameter EF lenses, it still handles the weight. The ball head is smooth and easy to operate. You know when it's tight and can have confidence in it staying put. The legs grip well, even on a slippery metal tube rail (see pic) with jagged rocks and water lurking below. Sometimes when I'm shooting run-and-gun video, I keep the GorillaPod attached with the legs angled back against my chest, and the camera strapped around my neck, and it creates decent stabilization for smooth video. I look like a nerd, but we do whatever it takes to get the shot.

This messenger bag is a cool bag for a daily street photography shoot. It can fit mirrorless cameras good with a few lenses same with dslr cameras with a grip. It can even hold a pentax 67ii. Good camera bag.

I have used this flash on my Nikon DLSR's and mirrorless cameras. Basically, I use this unit whenever I don't want to carry my Nikon SB-5000's or my SB-700's. Great flash for general photography and event photography. This was a great purchase.

Amazing stabilizer, great with mirrorless cameras.
