4. Smartphone Tripod – by Toneof: This 50’ Cell Phone Selfie Stick, Smartphone Tripod All in One. Wireless remote, Lightweight and Extendable. This holds 4-7’ iPhone and Androids. A “stealth” tripod with a remote can be very helpful, especially if you want to carry a tripod that isn’t too heavy, tall, and weighs less than 1lb. If you go to places that don’t want large tripods it’ll bring less attention to you, this may do the trick and easily fit in your bag. I used it on a recent trip; it worked well. You can always use your backpack to weigh it down should it be windy and you can vlog in your house or hotel room. Under $30

Tracker – Apple AirTag and Tile – Great for busy travelers tracking luggage or other important items is the Apple AirTag. Used for your luggage or track your car in a parking lot. The single tag is under $30. While the 4 pack is generally less than $100. These work best with an iPhone 11 or newer.  Note, the Tile tracker reportedly works with both Androids and iPhones and also generally under $30.
