Handige smartphone-accessoires voor op reis

Your smartphone is indispensable on holiday. Looking up the itinerary, taking photos and sharing your adventures with family and friends: you do it all with your smartphone. To get the most out of your smartphone, we have listed some accessories that are ideal for travelling. This way, your smartphone will last longer and you'll create even better content.

Navigate quickly

Why do you need smartphone accessories when traveling?

Nowadays, you use your smartphone more than ever when travelling. For navigation, photos, videos, tickets, translations, payments and staying in touch with home. That's why it's useful to bring some good smartphone accessories. Not because your bag should be full of gadgets, but because the right accessories simply make your trip easier.

Especially if you're on the go a lot, you'll notice that small accessories make a big difference. You take better photos, stay reachable and have to improvise less. Whether you're taking a city trip, going camping or planning a long beach holiday: with the right smartphone accessories, you'll get more out of your phone and your trip.

Power bank

With a power bank on hand, you'll be well-prepared for your trip. You use your smartphone constantly on the go for navigation, photos, videos, tickets, and staying in touch with home. A power bank prevents your phone from running out of battery, especially when you can't use a regular charger.

If you're going on a city trip, a compact power bank is often the best choice. It fits easily in your bag or pocket and is light enough to carry around all day. For a camping holiday, you might want to charge multiple devices at once and often be without an outlet for longer periods. In that case, choose a model with more capacity. This will usually be a bit larger and heavier, but it gives you extra peace of mind on the go.

Some good options for travel are:

  • MOJOGEAR MINI GO – The perfect city trip buddy: a compact 10,000 mAh power bank with built-in cables.
  • MOJOGEAR XL All-in-1 – The big travel buddy: with 20,000 mAh and built-in cables, this is the larger version of the MINI GO, perfect for longer days away with multiple people.
  • MOJOGEAR MINI EVO – The most compact power bank: the smallest 10,000 mAh power bank available for when you want to use all space efficiently.
  • MOJOGEAR EVO XL – The most compact large power bank: the smallest 20,000 mAh power bank that can charge 3 devices simultaneously.

When choosing, pay particular attention to the capacity, size, and connections. For a day out, 10,000 mAh is often enough, as you can then charge your phone and the power bank normally when you get home. For a longer trip, festival, or holiday without many outlets, 20,000 mAh or more is more practical. Do you use an iPhone? Pay close attention to whether your phone has a USB-C or Lightning connection. Then combine your power bank with the correct USB-C to USB-C or Lightning cable to use fast charging via USB Power Delivery.

Mini tripod

If you want to capture beautiful images during your trip, a compact tripod is essentially indispensable. It helps you shoot more stable videos, take sharper photos, and get yourself in the frame more easily. Useful for solo trips, group photos, timelapses, or social media content.

A large tripod is often impractical when traveling. It takes up a lot of space and therefore often stays in your bag. A mini tripod or flexible tripod is then a better choice. You can easily take it with you and use it in many different places: on a table, wall, rock, fence, or even around a branch.

A few handy options for travel are:

  • MOJOGEAR Creator Go – A super light tripod that works up to 153cm in height, with a choice between a phone holder and magnet as mounting method.
  • Mini Tripod Vlog KIT – Super compact mini tripod suitable for any phone
  • Ulanzi MT-44 – Perfect combination of selfie stick and tripod: easily switch between both functions.
  • Flexible mini tripod with extra flexible legs– Small size with flexible legs: ideal if you're going somewhere without a consistently flat surface.

Above all, choose a tripod that suits your travel style. For light packing, a small mini tripod is ideal. Do you want more freedom in where you place your phone or camera? Then a flexible mini tripod is handy. This way, you can more easily create stable footage on the go, without constantly having to ask someone to take a photo.

Selfie stick

A selfie stick is handy for selfies, but you can do a lot more with it when travelling. For example, you can use it to frame yourself better while vlogging, take group photos or capture more of your surroundings.

Some selfie sticks also work as a tripod or monopod. This gives you more creative possibilities on the go without having to carry a lot of extra gear. Extend the selfie stick, attach your phone and film from a higher or wider perspective. This way, you can easily create dynamic footage of beaches, mountains, cities or festivals.

A few handy selfie sticks for travelling are:

  • Ulanzi SK-03 – with a working height of up to 160cm, this is the ideal super-long selfie stick for travel
  • Telesin Power Selfie Stick – with a built-in power bank, you can always vlog and charge your phone
  • Ulanzi MT-44 – Perfect combination of tripod and selfie stick: easily switch between both functions.
  • MOJOGEAR TS1 – With flexible legs, you can attach it to anything: use it as a mini-tripod and a selfie stick.

When choosing, pay attention to the maximum length, weight, and whether the selfie stick can also be used as a tripod. Do you mainly want to vlog or film yourself? Then choose a compact model with a phone holder. Do you want to create spectacular overview shots? Then a longer selfie stick is more practical.

Looking for travel photography accessories?

Bluetooth remote

With Bluetooth accessories, you can more easily take photos and videos with your smartphone on the go. This is especially handy on holiday: you'll need to improvise less, get more stable images, and can more easily get yourself in the picture without constantly asking someone else.

A Bluetooth remote is ideal for remote photos. A vlog monitor helps you frame yourself well while filming. And with a grip or gimbal, you can create smoother images while walking, filming, or creating content on location. This way, you get more out of your smartphone camera without having to immediately bring a complete camera setup.

A few handy Bluetooth accessories for travel are:

When choosing, pay particular attention to how you use your smartphone. Do you mainly take photos of yourself or group photos? Then a Bluetooth remote is enough. Do you want to vlog or film yourself with better image quality? Then a selfie vlog monitor is handy. Do you film a lot while moving? Then a grip or gimbal is the better choice.

Ulanzi TRAKER BP06 - 2L - Waterafstotende Tech Pouch - Organizers

Organizer

With an organizer for electronics and cables, you can keep all your small accessories neatly together. This is especially useful when traveling, as cables, adapters, earbuds, memory cards, and power banks can otherwise quickly get lost in your bag.

An organizer protects your accessories better and ensures that you can find everything more quickly. No more cables at the bottom of your backpack or adapters disappearing between your clothes. You open the bag and immediately see what you have with you.

A few handy organizers for travel are:

  • Ulanzi BC08 – handy for neatly carrying cables, chargers, adapters, and small accessories.
  • Ulanzi PB038 Sling Travel Bag V2 – carrying comfort is a real advantage with this one: the adjustable shoulder strap ensures you can easily take it anywhere.

When choosing, pay particular attention to the size, layout, and how many accessories you want to take with you. For a short city trip, a compact organizer is often sufficient. Are you taking multiple cables, chargers, power banks, or camera accessories with you? Then a medium or larger model is more practical. This keeps your bag tidy and ensures you have everything quickly at hand while on the go.

Screen protector

When traveling, you use your smartphone for almost everything: navigating, taking photos, shooting videos, staying in touch, and adjusting your plans on the go. With the right accessories, you can get more out of your phone and avoid hassle when you need it most.

A power bank ensures your battery doesn't run out during a long day. With a tripod, selfie stick, or Bluetooth remote, you can more easily take stable photos and videos. And with accessories like a screen protector, grip, gimbal, or vlog monitor, you can better protect your phone and create more professional content on the go.

So you don't need to bring much. Choose the accessories that suit your trip and how you use your smartphone. This way, you'll be well-prepared and can capture your holiday, city trip, or backpacking adventure more easily and beautifully.
