TECH UP APP Lumy

Be it a staycation or exploring the city at night, we’ve got the perfect mix of gear that’ll keep you geeked up.

ACTION CAMERA GoPro Hero11 Black

This is the action cam if you’re serious about documenting your adventures. It shoots 5.3K, 60fps video (you can even extract 24.7MP stills), there’s HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilisation, and it’s water resistant up to 10 metres. The Hero11 Black also comes with a battery that’s better capable of dealing with extreme weather, and the mature ecosystem means a whole bunch of accessories for you to choose from. `50,999; reliancedigital.in

This gorgeous suntracking app (available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and even Apple TV) lets you scope out locations for the best time to take photos, as well as check the sun’s position for outdoor activities. The Apple Watch integration makes it even better for the avid traveller who wants to make sure to not miss the perfect sunset.

Nikon’s got a festive season gift—a 17-28mm Z-mount full-frame lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture. Weighing 450g, and with a 0.19m focusing distance, it should make for a great travel lens, allowing for close up portraits as well as wide city shots for that immersive feel. `1,05,995; nikon.co.in

E BOOK READER Amazon Kindle Scribe

Another Kindle? That’s correct, but the Scribe has some tricks up its sleeve— for starters, there’s a 10.2in 300ppi display that approximates the look of paper astonishingly well. But the real draw is the ability to take notes with the included pen/ stylus. Scribble down your notes, mark up PDF files and MS Word documents, keep a travel journal, and so much more!
