So you bought a camera and you love it, great! The best, or worse depending on how you look at it, thing about cameras is that there are tons of accessories out there that give you the options to do more and get more out of your camera. Some are cheap and some are pricey, but all of them are able to take your photography to the next level. Let’s delve into the world of camera accessories and see what amazing options there are out there.
Camera Pen
Camera pens are incredibly cheap but something that are crucial to have when you’re out in the field. They’re a small pen-like object and have a soft end that you can use to clean your lenses or your screens safely and effectively. These are tons of options out there, but you can get this Nikon one for just $11.95. These are great because lenses always get gunk on them, whether it’s specs of dust or rain that can affect the quality of your photo.
Tripod
Tripods are one of the most important accessories to have in your arsenal, especially if you want to be shooting at night, dusk or dawn. While you can get some very cheap tripods that will do the job just fine, one of the best out there for money is the Prima Photo Big Travel Tripod.
At only $110, this tripod comes in black, red and silver. The best thing about it is that it’s lightweight, only weighing 3.6lbs and a load capacity of 17.6lbs. While there are tons of tripods out there that may be better and more expensive, this one is great value for money and is easy to fold up and take with you when you’re out in nature or putting in your bag to take to an event.
Camera Bag
Having a camera bag is crucial, not only because it’s convenient, but because it protects your camera when it’s not in use. It depends on your camera, how many lenses you carry and your price point, but some great options are the Canon 200DG Digital Gadget bag for $57 and the Billingham Hadley Shoulder Bag for $249.
Graduated Filter Kit
Having a filter kit is equally important as understanding the settings on your camera. No matter how good the camera, it’s not as good as the human eye, so you sometimes need a bit of help in achieving an accurate representation of what you’re looking at. Graduated filter kits are a great way to do that and you can get a great set for just $19.
Photography is an amazing hobby to have, but one that requires spending a bit of money. These camera accessories are amazing to have, some might say crucial, to take your photography to the next level. With a bit of research, you’ll find the exact items that fit your needs and help you improve with leaps and bounds.
