Using tripods always seems like a massive hassle, but the Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 is easy to setup and closes down to a compact 50cm. Its robust carbon fibre body ensures stability and durability in a variety of weather and terrain, yet it barely adds to your weight load. Siobhan – events
Lowepro Flipside Sport 15L bag £125 I had been looking for a smaller, lighter version of the Flipside 400AW and this is it. The tripod holder on the side is handy for carrying a short monopod and it’ll swallow up with ease a DSLR with fast zooms and a speedlight or two. I’m confident my gear is protected, and with the side access I can get to it easily. Paul – technical sales
Canon 10x30mm IS binoculars £320 The Canon 10x30 IS binoculars are the perfect pair of all-round binoculars. They are a lightweight construction, are easy to use and comfortable to hold for long periods. The built-in Image Stabilisation (IS) makes a huge difference and ensures a clear, stable and bright viewing experience at all times. Damien – commercial

Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap £49 I took the Black Rapid on its first outing on a recent trip to Istanbul and my camera felt safe, secure, very easily accessible – and most
important of all – comfortable the entire time. I absolutely loved using it and can’t see myself travelling with a regular camera strap ever again! Natalie, marketing
I needed a camera that could cope with the harsh environment of the French Alps – the grips make it an easy camera to hold when wearing gloves and the clip-on carabineer strap is a great, practical accessory. Of all the tough series cameras I’ve played with this tops the lot, for practicality, price and image quality. Katie – marketing

When you’re out and about it’s not always easy to find some even ground to rest your tripod on, so the versatile Joby Gorillapod is the perfect solution. Lightweight and easily portable, it features flexible leg joints to bend around or balance on rocks, fences or indeed anywhere handy. Alex – marketing
