About 94 per cent of adults in the UK own a mobile phone. People use them for a variety of reasons, but one of the most popular features of a smartphone is its camera. This is widely used by smartphone users to capture everyday situations, particularly when travelling. Because of this, smartphones can now be considered as an essential item to pack when going on a holiday. But if you want to take better pictures during a trip, you need to pack all these essential gadgets that complement the camera on your smartphone. 

Smartphone gimbals

Travellers are constantly on the move, which is why it is not uncommon to capture blurred photos when shooting from inside a moving vehicle. To avoid this, you can invest in a gimbal that fits your smartphone. For those who are not familiar with this gadget, a gimbal is basically a mechanical stabiliser that helps smartphones remain steady using three internal motors. It works best for capturing movements in a video, but it can also aid in shooting the best still photos as well. 

Handy travel tripod

For couples on a trip, or for those who are travelling on their own, taking pictures of themselves with the picturesque views as their background can really be a challenge. The depth of field of the image may be compromised since they have to take the photo on their own. This can be fixed with the help of lightweight tripods that are made specifically for travels. As long as you manage to mount your camera properly on the tripod, you will be able to take a photo of the scene in any direction with no hassle. To make sure that you are using the best travel tripod, you need to consider its weight so you can take it anywhere you go. You also need to check its length when folded, as well as its height once extended. 

Heavy-duty headlamp

Aside from a durable source of light during all travel adventures, headlamps can also be used as additional light when doing travel photography. This is a clever way to illuminate a subject since it allows you to keep both your hands-free for the smartphone and other gear. You can get any type of headlamp on the market, but you can choose the cheaper ones so you can invest your money on your travel expenses or other important smartphone gadgets. 

You can also take better pictures using your smartphone with the help of other accessories. These include different types of filters that can enhance your pictures, extra batteries, portable power banks, and extra memory cards. All of these will make sure that you will be.
