In addition to having basic knowledge about the harvest season, equipping yourself with accessories and skills also plays an important role in your trip planning. Here are some powerful “assistants” that can help you maximize your experience and bring back memorable photos and unforgettable memories.

ACCESSORIES FOR CAMERAS

Tripod: Often thought to be quite bulky for long trips, but the utility and efficiency that a tripod brings makes it indespensible for many travel photographers. A good tripod will help you minimize the blur caused by camera shake, increase image quality, bring new shooting angles and is especially needed when you want to shoot in low light conditions.

The carbon tripod is compact and has a nice design but the price is quite high, while an aluminum construction makes the tripod heavier but the price significantly lower.

Filter: As a piece of glass attached to the lens, the filter protects the lens from scratches and dirt and in particular, helps to minimize the light hitting the lens directly, thereby increasing details for photos in overexposed areas. A filter also balances colors or creates other interesting effects. As the harvesting days are usually sunny, the filter is even more useful.

Currently on the market, there are some popular types of filters such as UV filter, CPL filter, ND filter and GND filter. In particular, UV filter and polarized CPL filter are affordable, functional and suitable for most people.

ACCESSORIES FOR BIKERS

First aid kit: Usually the bag or compact box contains basic medical equipment (bandages, scissors or gloves) and some essential medicines (antiseptics, antipyretics or oresol). On long trips of hundreds of kilometers, the danger will always be hidden and the medical facilities or professional medics are not always in close proximity. At such times, first aid skills and a first aid kit will be extremely helpful. You can prepare your own first aid kit or buy one.

Motorbike repair kit: To conquer the majestic passes of the North, your motorbike must be a reliable companion. But no matter how reliable, every motorbike can’t avoid damage along the way. So, get the basic motorbike repair skill and with a neat and complete motorbike repair kit (including multifunction pliers, screwdriver, hexagon key, etc.). In addition, bring extra motorbike parts such as spark plugs or tires.
