What gear does Scott Kivowitz consider essential for travel photography?

When I travel with my family, I keep things very minimal so I can focus on the moments, not the gear. My core approach is: one camera, one lens, and you’re good to go.

From my recent content, some essentials I lean on are:

• A small mirrorless body (like the Nikon Zf in my review)
• One versatile lens (usually a mid‑range zoom or small prime)
• A comfortable carry system (like a Spider Holster instead of a neck strap)
• A compact bag, such as the Think Tank Backstory 13
• An action or POV camera (GoPro or Insta360 Go) for quick clips

What kind of travel are you planning—city exploring, nature, or theme parks?
