Expand your camera kit with this essential gear

You’ve got a quality digital camera and lenses, but additional gear can further elevate your photos and videos. Here are six accessories that are a must for every camera kit.
Camera bag
Protect and organise your camera and gear with a durable, dedicated bag or backpack.
Most offer customisable storage space for spare batteries, memory cards, and other essential accessories.
You’ll have quick and easy access to all your gear wherever your photographic adventures take you.
Tripod
A good tripod provides stability and better framing, and will help bring out the best in low light shots.
It’s a must when shooting at low shutter speeds, as the camera must be completely still.
A compact tripod is a good option and should fit easily into a large camera bag.
Gimbal
Aspiring filmmakers and vloggers shouldn't be caught without a good gimbal!
This flexible tool provides more creative opportunities when shooting dynamic video, giving footage a more professional and cinematic feel.
A gimbal is also a must for capturing smooth and stable footage when shooting handheld, and many are packed with smart and intuitive tech – like live object tracking – to further enhance your footage and shots.
Wireless microphone
This one's a must for TikTok creators!
A pocket-sized, digital wireless microphone can be easily attached to a subject to capture cleaner and more authentic audio in high quality.
Many wireless mics are optimised for voice recording and can also feature noise cancelling for reducing background sounds.
Lens filters
Lens filters come in several types and a variety of sizes from 40.5mm up to 82mm.
Polariser filters can reduce glare and reflections and boost colour saturation, while UV filters block ultraviolet light, preventing ghosting in images.
A good lens filter will also protect your camera’s eye from dust and rain.
Memory cards
You’ll take more photos and shoot more video than your camera’s internal memory can hold, making SD cards another essential item in your camera kit.
The more GB the card has, the more shots and vids you can store, and the faster the read and write speeds of the card, the quicker you can snap photos and transfer them for editing.
Remember to always check the card's compatibility with your camera first.
