2017 TRAVEL VLOGGING GEAR | Camera + Equipment

[@aydasid]

This comment does not have anything to do with this vlog. Just a general observation. Nate loves you so much Kara! It shows in the way he looks at you. You are so lucky! But I don’t blame him. You are so lovable and adorable.

[@RhondaReally]

I can't help but think about how heavy all that is to carry! I respect your dedication so much more!

[@Dmhlcmb]

The enthusiasm and positive attitudes are so great from you two!

[@deeocky1091]

Gosh so much gear.... I now appreciate the hard work that you guys put in to each video more than ever ! you guys rock !

[@frankyfrank6359]

Could you make a video on packing and your travelling gears (i.e. backpacks) please? I'm planning to travel with my boyfriend this summer and your videos have been super helpful :)

[@amanda16161]

I came across you videos on Facebook n Iv been obsessed lol I have seriously been watching from your first day vlogging making my way all the way to the recent videos. Love your videos !

[@migrantmermen5201]

Thank you so much for this post! My boyfriend and I selling everything and heading out May 1st to start traveling full-time. We also want to post vlogs like you guys, and seeing the tools you use is so helpful! Keep it up!

[@ojosazules8828]

Love the rawness and authenticity of these vlogs 👍....well deserving of 1000's more Subs..😎

[@JevenDovey]

That's a heavy setup... have you tried using a smaller lens? Might save you a little bit. Also the GoPro5 is awesome for vlogging. I use ours a ton and it makes it super easy when your on an adventure.

[@hermanlai6035]

WanderWorx is the mic good though? I personally still think an external mic is better than a built in mic

[@36paris]

This is so perfect! Was just about to ask if you could show how you pack all your electronics and then you did. I’m not even into camera gear. I just get excited about organisation and packing cos I’m a weirdo like that. Thanks!

[@linnea9017]

Nate muscles grew a little bit. the the grin. Haha so fun. :D A beasty set up guys. I have traveled with canon 5 d back in the day plus a smaller camera. My arms were long as a monkeys at the end of the days. In additin maling sure that batteries and memory card lasted trough out the day. Phew! So respect for all of that gear. It is weirdly enough a hard knock life carrying all of that along.

[@jcgiacomi]

Two things I would recommend: 1) I assume you have a spinning Hard drive in the Macbook pro. I would replace it with a SSD. You can get one on amazon for fairly cheap. I would go with a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD. It will speed up your computer A LOT. Also that means you wont have to worry about the HD failing on you on the road since the SSD isn't a spinning drive and there are not moving parts. 2) There is a power Strip made from Mogics that is called a power bagel and donut. They are shaped like a donut and have 4-5 universal power outlets on them. It will save you some space.

[@stephgoesdigital]

We need a new one of these! 🙌🏼

[@renier3873]

It will be great to have an updated video of all or any upgrades you guys made up until now :)

[@4sjoerd]

Thanks for sharing. By far the best travel videos on KZbin.

[@SpacialMeg]

It may sound gross... but, if you wipe some spit on the GoPro case, water droplets will not be so bad. We use ours for whitewater kayaking and that does the trick for reducing water spots. Thanks for sharing all your gear! Y’all make some wonderful vlogs! I can’t wait to see what y’all do in 2020 !

[@julianburdzik1919]

Really informative video guys! Been following your travels for a few weeks now and just wanted to say well done on producing some great content. Also, that backpack is brilliant!

[@meredith6302]

GAH! I'm desperate to find that bag but the link's been updated to their new backback setup. Kara also doesn't say the name of the bag at any point, just that they found it on Amazon. I've been searching and I can't find it!

[@sarra550]

Same!!!

[@davidcarpenter7476]

@@sarra550 www.amazon.com/Ruggard-Compact-DSLR-Backpack-Gray/dp/B07H52WF75 also Lowepro has a similar backpack.

[@benec5816]

I got the same mike as you and air shows it is fantastic still get the aircraft noise but no winds thanks for the advice done looks great will have to check prices thanks again see ya

[@rantswithlance6198]

Will for sure use your links when i go to purchase some new gear. Been wanting a go pro and that tripod from last year looks like fun.

[@teresaanderson6370]

Thank you! I've been wanting to see your new stuff. My daughter wants to start vlogging. Also would like to see what Kara changed in clothing, shoes, cosmetics, etc. when you have a chance. Thanks!

[@user-ob3ob3ii3u]

Music holds up in 2023. Nice choice

[@Blabla6676]

can't wait until you guys go back to AFRICA and Asia! All of those vlogs were great

[@nerilamadrid471]

What is 4:21 the brand of the backpack. I don’t see it in the description. Thanks. Keep on vlogging!

[@jessedelice]

I think the hero 5 should already be waterproof guys! Loved the video! Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!

[@marieaustin10]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and inspiring others to travel and live the life they dream of! You and so many other vloggers have inspired me, and shown me that this life IS possible. I've just quit my job to become a digital nomad and will be moving to Amsterdam in April/May to live for 1 year - then I'm going to backpack Australia for a year after that! So excited to see where life leads me. Thanks for inspiring so many - I wish you the best of luck! :)

[@glennencinares]

Hi Kara & Nate! I was checking/searching about Uruguay Tour here in KZbin then finally saw your travel vblogs. I like it , now start subscribing your channel. Looking forward for more of your vblogs Glenn from Philippines 😊❤️

[@ometofu]

Nice backpack, security or pick pocketing is something I always worry when trying to iffy places. Nice vlog today again

[@TravelwithDocAmy]

I love my Mavic Pro! Hey I have a question... I just added this Gimbal. We are headed to the Galapagos for a 3 week boat tour and I am wondering if you leave this gimbal in teh black case for travel and in your backpack, or do you leave this hard black case at home? It is the one it came in.

[@tobiloftus5396]

The mavic 😍 and that bag is incredible, I need that in my life when I have a bit of extra money! Thanks for the great video!

[@MrAce0902]

Hi guys, loved this episode. FYI you can charge the A6500 with a powerbank (also while you're shooting with it). Just in case you didn't know

[@143topline]

food for thought, what should I treat myself to now. Thanks for a very informative vlog.

[@wolfdendrones8640]

most of the time I don't hear nate's accent in videos but in this video he's got much more of a southern accent...kinda cool

[@sherwinjamesestonilo7661]

You deserve 1M+ subs! 😊

[@jrusso4856]

3 years later and they have 1.3M! And all well deserved

[@riatalkenwrites787]

I am wondering what you do for protecting your cameras and lenses from humidity? I just got a Canon Rebel t8i which is not sealed and we are traveling (well, once COVID lets us) a lot. Much in humidity. Do you have any pointers for this? I have heard to put those little silicone packets in with the equipment, to acclimatize it before using each day, the use of the microfiber towels etc. Is there a cover or bag that would work? Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you and we love your videos and enjoyed watching you both grow professionally and personally. Always a pleasure.

[@valeriehopkins644]

Wow! It sounded like it would be dull watching. I'm wondering how it went so fast. Interesting and good to know info.

[@shaynabrianne2769]

Great aerial shots! I have the ghostdrone 2.0 but i really want the Dji mavic pro!

[@aslan40400]

I highly recommend you get the small amazing sony rx 100 mark 4 or 5 as to solve the auto focus problems I've noticed when using canon G7x . By the way everything you do is great 👍🏻

[@obligatorytraveler8292]

Having go pro envy. Just drooled over the Hero 5 the other day.

[@DonovanJonesAdventures]

Great video, guys! We use a lot of the gear that you were using last year, so it was cool to see what potential upgrades we can try in the future! 👍👍

[@TheWanderingWife]

Thanks for this video! I just ordered the backpack and the surge protector strip using your links!

[@ksmalls7017]

Can you share what the brand is if the backpack.

[@alexuslauver2438]

Hey guys. I need to submit a request for another one of these videos. Even though I do love 2017 Kara & Nate 😆❤️

[@JetteKnight101]

I love your channel, I just started watching recently. Thank you for going through all of your gear. I was wondering what was the name of your Blue bag and where did you get it?

[@richardschindler8822]

Very interesting. You guys have to lug a bunch of stuff with you wherever you go. Guess if you want good footage it's what you gotta do.

[@GDSTX]

Thanks - clicked your links to purchase via Amazon!

[@erosvelluccivlogs9311]

How many videos are you planning to make ? Because I love them 😍 P.s keep making them don't let talent go to waste

[@NLaertes]

Ah, the good old Joby proving to be useful again :-P Nice overview of all your gear too, great upgrades you made ;-))

[@ashishbijwe24]

Do we need to get Drone licence for Vlogging? Can you please shed some more light on the usage of drones in Vlogging. Any challenges you had to overcome, such as local laws, operational issues, etc.,

[@bethkellum4308]

So do you guys like your current gear? I know this is outdated. Both you and Flying the Nest have the same camera equipment for 2022. I've been looking at the Mavric 3pro, stunning! Will be getting that one too.

[@theworldhiker1]

Great video guys. Thanks for sharing with us inspiring travel bloggers!

[@KaraandNate]

+The World Hiker glad you found it useful 👍🏻

[@Dronzer9999]

You guys are just so cute. Best couple ever 💐

[@Rosyyyyyyyy]

what is the name of this backpack? Pleaseeee

[@jainsidh15]

Very good and helpful video.Thanks for sharing. Everything is great except gopro hero 5, which sucks because of freezing issues. LCD is highly irresponsive.

[@franstains3373]

Aww like your commitment to your videos and us, keep on keepin on! 😉😎

[@yoosufewanshanoon1935]

Great Footage from drone!! Hope to see u guys in Maldives! 😄

[@JOETERRANY]

Great video guys! Next we need a "How we edit" video please!!

[@chrismartin9297]

Love the backpack you showed in Vlog 287 where did you buy it at? Is it still available do you know? Thanks!

[@Farbar1955]

That 4-outlet travel power strip you have is currently unavailable (the company sold out of them). I'm suspecting it's because of this video! I hope they make more of them but add a couple of USB outlets to it!

[@SangHTX]

Thanks for all of the information in this video. Question. Are you able to carry-on 2 big backpacks with you onto the plane, per person? What are you usually able to carry on with you on the plane, per person?

[@YanaMohamed]

Thanks for sharing... I'm slowly building my equipment...

[@walkingdaveoutdoors]

Hay guys great video. some great ideas there, will use some of those for my work. keep it

[@owenhealy7109]

Hey guys love the video. Just wondering when traveling with the drone do you have to ask for permission in each country to fly it?

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Our Canon S95 broke, probably for the best although having to buy a new camera while in Mexico was a struggle. Long story shorter we upgraded recently to the G7x Mark II and I have been blown away with that little guy. Maybe someday we will get into DSLRs, but they are just so big, and then you are carrying around all these lenses. I say maybe we will still get into it because if our channel takes off we will need to continue to shoot better stuff. We started out with the shot with what you have philosophy, and we just don't have room in our truck living for all the extra large gear. I hope some day we can afford a drone though. The one you featured is rad! Love the pack size. That bag does look very cool too. I'm going to check them out, thanks They do such a great job at showing an area for what it is. You mentioned the water spots on the gopro 5. Did they figure out a way to prevent that?

[@hermanlai6035]

The Traveling Together Journal hey I wanna ask is the battery life good? does it burn thru like 3 batteries after one day of vlogging?

[@jaymeez]

I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing, btw it's an adapter not a convertor. The convertors are heavier n bulkier than just the adapter.

[@ValenNitto]

And you guys do a carryon for those back packs right?

[@purespirit9]

Wow all that gear. 😮 Love the backpack. Thanks for sharing. 💖💕

[@ChrisTravelVlog]

i just tried to pick up the mavic in xian but its not yet in stock - dji have taken forever with it

[@michae8jackson378]

Nice thanks for sharing you guys. Love the backpack!

[@breadrichardson]

Seriously, enjoyed this video!! Congrats!

[@VictorBlack69]

Love your equipment

[@EarlyDawnTravels]

Love your videos! Do you guys have issues with the Sony A6500 overheating? I just filmed an event last night in March (cold) - it was indoors though, and after filming in 4k for 30 minutes the temp indicator light came on. I switched the battery as a short solution but it came back on. I’m worried how fast this will effect recording in the sun/heat while traveling! Thank you in advance!

[@KaraandNate]

Ours has never overheated! But also don’t know if it’s ever recorded for 30 mins straight.

[@EarlyDawnTravels]

Kara and Nate thanks for the response! LOVE your videos. Fun to watch your journey from the first vlog to now - you’re big league. Love it! Keep ‘em coming!

[@TheWanderingWife]

I REALLY want that gimbal, but OMG, the price! I think I'll wait and see if you think it was worth it at the end of this year. 😉

[@FireCracker3240]

I have a burning question I've wanted to know for a while. This seems like the perfect opportunity to ask. How do you keep all of this safe while travelling? Especially when sleeping in the airports?

[@KaraandNate]

When sleeping in airports we always strap it to a limb or use it as a pillow😂 other than that just never leaving it out of our site when in transit!

[@FireCracker3240]

That's what I figured. It makes perfect sense. And, since you can't always have your neck pillow handy, why not lay on your bags? I'd like to see someone try to try something on you in that situation. I remember how you were about that guy in Marrakech. I bet he didn't mess with anyone else for quite some time. 😁😁😁

[@BortonMaverickNYC]

great video.. now i can be a great vlogger like you guys.. using the same gadgets!. where the amazon link for the knockoff gopro monopod.. thanks

[@gauravsahu9160]

Thanks. nice video . cleared a lot of doubts!!

[@airian4973]

You have ver very nice gear! I like your set up! Only 1 suggestion, it maybe better to upgrade from GoPro to osmo action, which has much better stabilization + much less image distortion. Only 300$ so nice.

[@kiwindo]

Hey Kara and Nate, awesome setup! Just wondering, do you ever have issues with the a6500 overheating? Cheers!

[@colormyworld249]

What GoPro waterproof housing do you use? Supersuit or knockoff?

[@scarletfluerr]

Did the solar panel fold out thing that you used in Nepal get lost or broken?

[@radimmrazek6230]

Hi, are you still shooting on GOPRO HERO 5?

[@phim5054]

Your video is great as usual. I got a Mavic Air. I ride a motorcycle. For my next european trip, I bought a real waterproof rucksack Ortlieb 25 L which contains the Mavic air bag + all I need when I stop the bike. The backpack you show in the video is not waterproof by itself as far it needs a waterproof cover.

[@dineshgopichand]

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask about the Sony A6500, are there any heating issues, if so after how long and do you face any issues while vlogging without a reversible articulated screen? Did you ever want to jump back to Canon M50 just because of that reversible screen and overheating issue? And did I mention you guys are one of the best content creators, a big thumbs up.

[@Travelling_about]

If you had a UK link I would buy the backpack 👍🏻

[@pablosexto1]

Very nice videos guys amazing places!!

[@EricXAventura]

Hey, I might be blind and missing it... Do you guys have an Amazon link to your SD Card holder?? I'm only seeing the link to the card itself.

[@TheLucilleZ]

I was wondering the same thing. Last week I searched and searched and couldn't find a thing. Such a simple item.

[@leehunter8167]

What's the name and website you got your memory card charger.

[@janvloggaa4920]

I only wish I had your great gear to shoot my videos.

[@TenzingLamaSherpa]

Yet another great vlog!!!!!

[@criskity]

Does your extension cord work with 220 volt power?

[@marcoxl50]

I never appreciated how much equipment and cost it took to produce your vlogs. It makes sense though as the quality is way, way above anything else I've seen before ( obviously a lot of it is down to human skill and endeavour of course ). What video editing software do you use Kara?

[@hermanlai6035]

Mark Hulme she uses Adobe premiere

[@CyclistRick]

I just found this, in fact I only found your VLOG when searching for info on campervans in NZ. Anyway, one suggestion. With your powerstrip you need only one plug adapter but you still need multiple AC->USB power converters, one per device. I've solved the problem with an Anker PowerPort; I have a 5 USB port model, so one plug an I can charge 5 devices at a time. They have a newer 10 port model (www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Charger-PowerPort-iPhone/dp/B00YRYS4T4/ref=dp_ob_title_wld) and some smaller 2-4 port models.

[@megan3443]

Started watching them in 2020! I’m such a fan now!! 💕 Is it me or did they lose their Texan accent over the years 😂

[@jillgarofano6028]

They are from Tennessee, not Texas.

[@mygeetube]

Kara, where do you find all of your awesome music?!

[@thatleonardlife]

They use Epidemic Sound (it's at the end of almost every single video ;) )

[@soniagalat2740]

great video! thanks a lot.

[@charlescushman8625]

Are you still using the same backpack? Does it fit under the airplane seat?

[@KaraandNate]

They finally bit the dust after a year and a half of daily use. They were great and did fit under airplane seats! We just got Wandrd bags :)

[@Rosyyyyyyyy]

What was the name of that backpack please!???! I cant find it

[@adairhernandez9646]

esperando próximo vídeo

[@Marfrei19]

Love this

[@vaiPa5]

Does anyone knows the remix of the song please?

[@Toastybear1]

im sure you know this by now! but if youre around water with a go pro, lick, or splash water on the lens and itll stop droplets sticking on the lens :) love you guys!!

[@Runner656]

Hey guys! Which backpacks are you using for traveling to carry all of your other gear?
