  1. ...It's rare that I feel I need a tripod, but for the situations that I do, for longer exposures or timelapse photography, I'm glad I have my gorillapod with me.

     

    A good tripod is heavy. A better tripod is heavier. The best tripod is the one you actually use.

    Very true :)

  2. Cool, it's interesting hearing about everyones kit and what they choose to lug around.

     

    I guess it's largely a balance of mobility vs having the best gear for the job.

  3. Source Assault 20L Hydration Cargo Pack

     

    This is a high-quality lightweight backpack with a 3L hydration bladder plus plenty of room for additional gear. I'd definitely recommend a backpack with a hydration bladder, it's a lot more convenient than fumbling around with a water bottle.

     

    As for what other gear I take:

     

    Smartphone (with geocaching app of course)

     

    Portable charger for smartphone

     

    Camera (Canon 60D)

     

    Gorillapod (clipped to back of backpack)

     

    Pen (+ backup pen)

     

    Notepad

     

    Torch

     

    Hand wipes

     

    Small first aid kit

     

    Snacks

     

    And I have a mini swiss army knife on my keychain that contains tweezers, that can be useful for some nano caches

  4. Hi,

     

    I'm curious as to what photography gear you all take with you while going out geocaching.

     

    DSLR and tripod?

     

    Multiple lenses?

     

    Just a small compact camera?

     

    Only use smartphone camera?

     

    The great thing about geocaching is that it takes us to interesting places that we otherwise wouldn't have gone, and therefore creates a lot of great photo opportunities. For this reason I like to carry around my DSLR (Which is currently a canon 60D with 18-55 kit lense), and a gorillapod that I clip onto my backpack.

     

    Ideally I'd like to at least upgrade my lense to something with more reach for photographing wildlife, but for now that's my simple camera kit.

     

    What's yours?
