To describe and remember your adventure for yourself and your friends, you’ll need some photography equipment. You can choose the simplest and most affordable options, but I prefer a bit of quality even though I’m definitely not a pro. It gives me more pleasure later to look at the photos if the photos are photographically good.

I’ve packed three different types of photography gear: the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds, which is Olympus’ compact mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the Olympus Tough TG-6 compact digital camera, and a drone for capturing more spectacular photos and videos from above.

Olympus E-M1 Mirrorless 4/3 camera

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Third

This camera has pretty good permormance despite almost 10 years. The Olympus OMD E-M1 packs great features into a small body and leaves very little to be desired for a wide range of photographers. The mirrorless camera has reduced the weight and size which is perfect for a biker

Compact waterproof canera

Olympys Tough TG-6

Olympus Tough TG-6 is the company’s sixth-generation premium underwater camera. It features a 12 Megapixel sensor, 4X optical zoom lens, numerous sensors and, of course, serious protection against the elements.

I primarily use this camera most of the time; it’s small and compact, easy to pull out of the handlebar bag on my bike. It’s also extremely durable against shocks and water. It has built-in WiFi and GPS.
I’m very satisfied with this device

Action video camera

Olympus Styulus Tough TG-Tracker

As the first action camera by Olympus, the TG Tracker with its camcorder like design looks quite different from other action cams like Go-Pro.
The weight is low and fully water and shockproof. Also has tracking capabillity, WiFi and gps. Has built-in, flip-out screen
The camera is securely mounted on the bicycle’s handlebars or in the handlebar bag for quick access.

Drone

DJI Mini 2 Fly Combo More,4K

This is my latest photo equipment. When I was cycling through Malaysia, I was accompanied by a guy from Canada who had a drone and used it during our bike trip. I was so impressed by what it could do that I decided to get a similar one for this journey.

DJI Mini 2 is a compact, ultralight mini drone that is perfect for traveling as well as recording everyday life. Mini 2 features 4K/30fps video, 12MP photos
Weighing less than 249 grams, DJI Mini 2 is incredibly lightweight and compact, making it incredibly travel-friendly

Lens

Tamron AF 14-159/3,5-5,8 Di II Super zoom-wide

To reduce the number of lenses I normally carry in my camera bag, I bought one lens that could replace three other lenses. I saved both space and weight,
The Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III is a wide-angle to telephoto super-zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds compact system cameras. Boasting a 10.7x zoom range, compact and lightweight design, a 52mm filter thread and a metal lens barrel exterior.

I have never used this type of lens before so this trip will be a test and evaluation of what it can perform in photo quality

Macro lens

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 60/2,8 Macro

Sometimes is’t nice to really come very close to an object and my Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60/2.8 Macro corresponds to that desire. Has  Micro Four Thirds mount. The lens provides a 1:1 magnification ratio, which means that at its closest focusing distance, you can capture an area the same size as the sensor (17.3 x 13mm). The lens is weather-sealed, making it a reliable choice for weather-resistant camera bodies and not a weak link in such conditions.

Mono pod

Macpac P3 Trakker , single

Even if modern cameras and lenses some kind of stabilization function built in you often need some x-tra assistance to hold the camera steady. My normaly camera stand is both heavy and unconventional.
When I was exploring New Zealand, I found this single-legged contraption in an outdoor store, Macpac in Christchurch. It’s essentially a trekking pole, but it can be used as a mono pod for cameras. With an optional digital camera attachment just simply unscrewing the top knob and screwing on your camera.

I also found out I can use it as a bicycle stand….!”! Three to One stuff
