Here’s a collection of sensible yet smart personal tech that’ll make the next vacation with your gang a lot more fun.
Tech essentials for your travels:
Action Camera
GoPro Hero11 Black Mini
Everyone’s standard, go-to action camera arrives in a refreshed, smaller, avatar. The Hero11 Black Mini shoots 5.3K video at up to 60fps and 2.7K at up to 240fps. There’s no stand-alone still photography mode, but you can extract 24.7MP photos from video, and with GoPro’s HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilisation and the 10m water-resistance, it’s a no-brainer for anyone who can’t sit still on vacation. INR 41,500
Multi-charger
Ambrane RAAP Hub 75
Your New Year’s resolution to travel light gets a boost thanks to this multi-charger. With five ports, it’s pretty much all you need to carry: there are old-School type-A USB ports as well as Type-C ports (including one with a 45W output that should even work with many recent laptops). INR 3,999
Fitness Tracker
Fitbit Inspire 3
Fitness nut, but dislike overly-chunky smartwatches? You’ll like the Inspire 3. There’s a nice selection of bands for customisation, it shows you notifications from your phone, you have access to Fitbit’s renowned fitness tracking tech and ecosystem, and it lasts up to 10 days on a charge. INR 8,999
Wireless Power Bank
Stuffcool PB9018W
Featuring wireless charging as well as 20W USB charging support, this powerbank is convenient if you’re always on the go. Qi charging means it’ll work with a wide range of devices—with MagSafe support, it’ll even snap onto your iPhone—and enough charge (10000mAh) for a busy, busy day. INR 5,990
High-Res Audio Player
Sony Walkman ZX-707
Audiophiles won’t be able to resist this high-res music player. Featuring Sony’s S-Master HX digital amp, it supports wired and wireless high-resolution audio, Bluetooth 5.0 and aptXHD connectivity, audio processing to recreate a vinyl or analogue amp experience, Wi-Fi access to audio libraries, and up to 25 hours of playback. INR 74,990
