Travel photography enthusiasts who want to dabble in video shooting have a new option: The Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera. The M spec kit includes a 12-60mm lens, but spend a little more and the 14-140mm lens will grant you much longer range.

2. Sun Surveyor

Photography is all about lighting. The Sun Surveyor app tracks the angle and position of the sun on an easy-to understand map, allowing you to scout locations and plan visits to landmarks and heritage sights for the best lighting. No longer do you have to land up at a legendary fort only to discover the light’s in the wrong direction. iOS / Android; free and paid versions available.

3. Weber Go Anywhere Portable BBQ

Road trips, camping vacays, and weekends are better with a barbecue. This compact coal-fired grill is easy to stow away, clean, and use. Also, while it’s small enough to be tucked away in the boot of a car, it’s big enough to grill fresh treats for your friends. A lid lock keeps it secure when on the road, and there’s a plated steel grate that will stand up to heavy usage. INR 8,495/ USD119.

4. Zoom iQ6

6. Amazon Echo Input

Get this new battery-powered variant of Amazon’s Echo and you won’t have to bid goodbye to Alexa when heading out on a vacation.
