So, I’m actually personally in the process of upgrading my travel Tech kit. I’ve been doing a lot of research and I wanted to show you some of my finds. I’m going to use to carry most of this stuff first up a smart solution for anyone. Who likes to watch movies or shows on their phone during a flight.
1. Perilogics phone mount
This thing is cool and the genius of this is a strong adaptable clamp that securely latches onto anything really. But it’s perfect for the airplane tray table and it even attaches. When the tray table is up the area that holds. Your phone is adjustable and ranges in size all the way from an iPhone Mini to something much bigger like a Samsung Note plus. It’s got dual joint flexibility and 360° rotation. So that you could watch in portrait or landscape mode I know it just looks like a piece of plastic. But it’s very thoughtfully engineered, it’s compact, it’s affordable, it’s only like 13 bucks. And it’s got a crazy amount of positive reviews on Amazon all in all pretty cool.
When you travel to electronics you inevitably need some cables to charge them and I don’t know about you but a problem. I’ve never really been able to solve is the tangle. I’ve tended to just carry a cord Cube that kind of hides my Tangled ball of shame that is until I found this next item.
2. MagTame Automatic Coiling Cables
These are mag tame automatic coiling cables and holy crap I love them what’s cool about them is they’re self-coiling. When you need to wind things up they magnetize to each other. No mus, no fuss and then when you need to charge you just pull out the length you need and it stays put. It’s so simple honestly, I can’t believe. I’ve never seen this before but it solves a real problem they’re also tough they’re wrapped in sturdy nylon and they charge fast 60 W 3A fast charging. They come in a variety of links and formats I purchased a few different versions USBC to USBC, USBA to USBC and USBC to lightning.
Yes, I’m still using a phone with lightning they’re light they barely take up any space and they definitely punch above their weight. When it comes to usefulness my angled ball of Shame is now going to look more like a filing cabinet next up is an item you most certainly need. If you’re doing any kind of international travel by a company whose adapters I’ve carried to 20 or more countries.
3. EPICKA TA105 Pro Travel Adapter

North America, the EU, the UK, Asia, Australia and more. You can charge up to six devices at once with three USBC to USBA and of course AC power plus. it’s super compact fitting easily into your bag and with 70 W fast charging capabilities your phone or laptop will charge significantly faster.
Which will save you time and allow you to focus on your travels. Epikca has also designed this adapter with safety in mind it’s got protections against short circuits. It comes with a built-in 10A overload fuse which most other adapters just don’t have plus some spare fuses just in case. Now a quick note this is not a voltage converter. This is meant for dual voltage devices always check your device’s voltage particularly for those that are single voltage to ensure compatibility. And safety now a nice thing is the USB ports remain functional. Even if the AC fuse encounters a problem which ensures you uninterrupted charging for those smaller devices.
4. Nitecore NB10000 Power Bank
When you’re on the go the last thing, you want when you need to use Google Maps or Whatsapp or whatever is for your phone to die. So, something I always carry is a good power bank this is the Nightcore NB 10,000 Gen 2 ultra slim power bank in the vast SE of power Banks. The NB 10K stands out for travelers who demand both portability and power without compromise. It boasts a 10,000-milliamp hour capacity which translates to roughly three full charges for most smartphones out there. Its dual QC ports are Lifesaver and they allow you to fast charge two devices at once. But here’s where it really earns at stripes in your travel kit despite.
This thing’s robust capacity the NB 10K is 40% lighter than the average power bank. It’s slim enough to slide into your pocket making it the perfect companion. When you’re always on the move and for the tech sevy traveler its compatibility is great whether you’re charging smartphones tablets or your Adventure Gear like flashlights and headlamps. The mb10k has you covered it’s even got a low current mode for those delicate devices like Bluetooth, headphones, and Smartwatches ensuring that. You don’t fry your smaller gadgets with too much power.
It’s also waters resistant and has safeguards against overcharging overheating and short circuiting. I’m very impressed with this thing. I think others are too according to Amazon customers don’t return this item as often as they might other purchases.
5. Peak Design Mobile Tripod
The peak design mobile tripod this thing isn’t just any tripod. It’s a compact Marvel of engineering that is perfectly useful. When I need it and out of the way when I don’t its precision machine from solid anodized aluminum and it’s. So durable the durability feels counter to its light footprint. When it’s folded down the thickness is less than half a centimeter which is smaller, than a deck of cards it fits effortlessly into your pocket or your bag.
It’s ready to support your phone in portrait or landscape mode with an easily adjustable ball head to help you get the right angle what sets this apart is the built-in magnetic technology that makes it compatible with any mag sayfe phones or cases or Peak Design’s own line of cases. I love how small this is and how easy it becomes to grab a selfie take a time lapse or watch a movie. So, when you’re in an airport lounge trying to get some work done.
6. SONY Noise Cancelling Headphones
You might want a set of good noise cancelling headphones these are the Sony wh1000 xm5 noise cancelling headphones. They’ve been voted by The Verge Digital Trends and travel tech radar as. The best noise cancelling headphones you can buy they also boast a long battery life of up to 30 hours. Which ensures they keep up with even the most demanding itineraries quick charging capabilities means just 3 minutes of charging can provide 3 hours of playback Alli has had the xm3s and the XM fours.
But a common issue with those was weakness in the headband that made them prone to cracking near the hinge these have a different design. Which seems much stronger the soft fit leather is very comfortable and overall. They’re pretty lightweight so personally my one beef with these is they aren’t small a set of air pods will take up way less space right. I actually usually travel with a set of inear monitors.
But I have those for a different reason and they’re not realistic for most people frankly. I actually bought these for the hours of Zoom calls that I’m in on a daily basis. But if you have room in your packing setup for a set of OV ears and you’re in the market for a set of over ears I do think that these are the way to go to round out our list. I thought it was time to upgrade the case that I’m keeping all my travel Tech.
7. Peak Design Tech Pouch
This Tech pouch is the ultimate organizer for your travel gadgets and Essentials blending Innovative design with functionality. The origami style internal Pockets create a unique system that makes use of every inch of space. And it gives everything from cables to SD cards its own rightful place. It’s crafted from a 100% recycled weatherproof 400d nylon canvas which is meant to stand up to the elements. And keep your gear dry and protected I love that it zips open wide.
So that you can easily access anything and it’s stable so it sits flat whether it’s packed or empty. Like all Peak design gear the attention to detail is really. Where things shine there’s a cable pass through for charging devices without removing them elastic Loops for things like pens SD cards slip Pockets zipper Pockets on pockets it gets pretty small. When it’s empties it’s not the smallest I’ve seen in terms of tech pouches. But it expands really well when full this pouch is very versatile.
If you’re a photographer and you need a secure spot for batteries and memory cards, if you’re a traveler like me with a bunch of cables and adapters. You’re simply someone who likes to keep their stuff organized. This pouch is a great option honestly, I might use this as my tech SL Qui access inlight bag tossing things. Like my IM mask a pen for filling out documents really quality build I’m a fan I will definitely be adding this Tech pouch to my one bag travel setup which by the way.
