Mobile phones have arguably become the most popular cameras on the planet, and accessories, from lens systems and tripods to portable chargers, catering to mobile photographers have come a long way in the last couple of years. Here are five of our favorite holiday gift ideas for the mobile photographer on your list.
Ztylus Metal Series Camera Kit
Our top pick for iPhone lens systems! The Ztylus Camera Kit includes a protective metal case and lens attachment with fisheye, wide angle, macro, and circular polarizer. The case is also compatible with Ztylus’ ring light and new high quality prime lenses. Compatible with iPhone 6s/6s+, 6/6+, and 5/5s.

Outdoor Tech Kodiak Plus
10,000 mAh, dual USB ports, shockproof, and waterproof. It charges everything, and can take a beating. What more could you ask for? Concerts, snowboarding, bike rides, and hikes – the Kodiak Plus is in our gear bag at all times.
Joby GripTight GorillaPod XL Tripod
Another piece of gear that we never leave home without. Joby’s flexible GorillaPod is compact and lightweight, serves as a traditional table-top tripod or can be wrapped around tree branches, poles, etc for stable shots in the field. The GripTight clamps around nearly all mobile phones currently on the market and attaches to the GorillaPod (or any tripod head) via standard 1/4×20 threads.
Smartwool PhD Hyfi Wind Training Glove
Merino wool blend, windproof backing, silicone grippers on palm and fingers, and touch screen index finger and thumb. These gloves from Smartwool are perfect for the active mobile photographer (or trail runner!) who ventures out when conditions aren’t necessarily perfect.
Field Notes
All of our ideas (and to-do lists) start with pencil and paper, and a Field Notes notebook is without a doubt the most important gear in our bag. 48-pages, 3.5″x5.5″, graph, ruled, or plain paper, and available in special edition colors. This is a great gift that ANYONE on your list will appreciate. You can thank us later!
