Whether you’re planning the ultimate family vacation or just a simple weekend getaway, there are a few must-have tech gadgets to bring along to make the holiday a little more organized and a lot less stressful. While many families try to do without screen time or electronics altogether while vacationing, today’s digital world makes that almost impossible. However, instead of frowning upon the use of devices while on your trip, check out how these five top tech gadgets can actually help make the most of your vacation.

Top Technology Gadgets to Pack While Traveling

EatSmart Precision Voyager Luggage Scale

Ever been stuck at the airport with luggage that weighs more than what is allowed by the airline? Besides being embarrassed, this oversight can also be quite costly. Take the guess work out of how much your suitcases weigh the travel-sized EatSmart Precision Voyager Luggage Scale. It’s lightweight, compact and can weigh up to 110 pounds.

Google Nexus 5

Can’t leave home without a good phone, and the Google Nexus 5 fits the bill. This five-inch Android device is so more than a phone. Its amazing full HD display lets you see all the stunning photos and videos you take on your trip. Besides being fast, users who are signed with T-Mobile’s Simple Choice Plan can take advantage of its international roaming deals that include unlimited international data and text in more than 120 countries. And to ensure that your phone is always protected, you should invest in a durable personalised phonecase.

Mophie Juice Pack

Nothing worse than going on a trip and having your phone’s battery die. With a Mophie Juice Pack, you can easily keep your phone charged by wrapping it in a rechargeable smart battery that is concealed in a soft-touch metallic case. Mophie Juice Packs add up to eight hours of talk time to your phone and seven hours of web browsing. Available for both Android and Apple devices.

Sony 4K Handycam FDR-AX100

Capturing a vacation’s special memories with family and friends are one of the most important parts of going away together. The Sony 4K Handycam uses 4K Ultra HD, has a one-inch image sensor and records video with XAVCS, AVCHD and MP4. It also has Smartphone Wi-Fi connectivity and fits in the palm of your hand.

Able Planet Linx Fusion Noise-Canceling Headphones

Whether you’re sitting on an airplane or a crowded beach, it’s always nice to be able to listen to your music, podcast, movie or book in peace. Using Able Planet Linx Fusion headphones blocks out any outside noise while allowing crystal clear sound. The volume is 70 decibels lower than regular headphones, which reduce the risk of ear damage.

Nikon COOLPIX S31 Digital Camera

Kids love to take pictures and allowing them to have their own camera while on vacation is a great way for them to tell about the trip from their own point of view (and keep them from using your camera!) The Nikon COOLPIX Digital Camera is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. The camera takes 10-megapixel photos and 720p HD videos.
