Below are must-have gadgets for every travel-loving techie on your Christmas shopping list. And if you’re also one of those people, you can get these gizmos for yourself!
Samsung NX500
Anyone – even non-travelers – would be happy to unwrap Samsung NX500. But travelers, particularly those who dabble in photography, would be in love with Samsung’s newest SLR camera. This cool gadget is designed for both amateurs and professional photographers. The camera is compact and slim. It features a leather-style design for a more retro look.
The best thing about NX500 is it enables users to automatically upload their photos to their smartphone or Dropbox. It’s Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC compatible, too.
ASUS ZenBeam E1
There’s always time for a good movie, even when traveling. With ASUS ZenBeam E1, travelers can watch films, documentaries or TV shows anytime, anywhere. Spending quiet nights in the mountains would be extra fun with this projector. The ZenBeam E1 only needs an HDMI cable and a blank wall to work. It’s a tiny gadget. Travelers can easily store it in a purse or in the side pocket of a carry-on. It comes with built-in speakers. It also has a rechargeable battery that can even charge other handheld devices.
Ollo Clip 4-in-1 Lens
Traveling without a handy digicam or a sleek SLR camera is an issue for many travelers. But with the Ollo Clip 4-in-1 Lens, it won’t be a problem anymore. The lens is the perfect phone accessory that turns an iPhone into a handy digicam. It has four types of lenses designed for different shooting styles. It features a Fisheye lens, a Wide-Angle lens, a Micro 10x lens and a Macro 15x lens. The Ollo Clip weighs less than an ounce. And, it now comes in gold. Fancy, right?
Tile
A little square gadget can relieve travelers from a massive headache dealing with misplaced things. With Tile, jet-setters can track their lost things. Stick the Tile on bags, wallets or anything else. They will be registered on the Tile network. If an item is misplaced in a big area, like an airport, the system will update its location when another Tile user passes within the range. If it’s lost in a small place, like a hotel room, there is an alert button to track it down. Once the tracker is switched on, the Tile will beep loudly.
Kindle Oasis
Any book lover who’s ever brought hardcovers on their trip can attest to the value of a good e-Reader. When it comes to e-Readers, Amazon Kindle tops the list. And the latest edition, the Kindle Oasis, shows good value for your money. It is super thin and light. It makes readers comfortable and avoid getting a wrist cramp even if handling it for a long time. Best of all, Oasis is waterproof.
Consider these five amazing gadgets designed with travelers in mind. It’ll make your techie jet-setter loved one (or yourself) excited for the next trip!
