Well, don’t worry.

I’ve rounded up the best gifts for photographers here.

If not, check out mybest camerasandbest action camerasroundups for my top picks.

Neoprene camera strap: $9 @ Amazon

Without further ado, here are the best gifts for photographers this holiday season.

See, the straps often supplied with cameras are made from coarse leatherette which often chafes.

Thankfully, you neednt spend big to avoid this.

Retro wrist strap: $15 @ Amazon

Its strong, simple and comfortable.

Its also long, so you’re able to use it as a neck strap or shoulder sling.

This will prove to your photographer buddy that you understand the day-to-day frustrations of their craft.

Lens cap leashes: $7 @ Amazon

A RAW file from the 100MPFujifilm GFX100S IIwill take up 200MB.

And thats not even mentioning 4K video, which just eats up the storage.

An ideal gift for a friend or relative with a powerful new camera is a large capacity SD card.

K&F Concept Variable ND filter: $37 @ Amazon

Without clean, clear audio, any footage is going to sound amateur.

Its wireless, stylish and features AI noise cancelation to ensure clean vocals.

But obviously, you need the mounts in the first place.

Lexar Silver Pro 256GB SD card: $69 @ Amazon

If they arent a GoPro user, you’re free to buy similar cases forDJI camerasandInsta360 cameras.

GoPro were kind enough to lend me one of these harnesses for testing, and I honestly love it.

you’re free to check out some of the footage in myGoPro Hero13 Black review.

DJI Mic 2: $219 @ Amazon

you could pick up theInsta360 Invisible Selfie stick for $24 at Amazon.

The lens blower in particular is a must have!

The kit also comes with a handy carry pouch.

PowerExtra batteries & charging adapter: from $26 @ Amazon

This$219 Vanguard VEO camera backpackis one I personally own, use and love.

Its compact, but will still fit a large camera with multiple lenses or two smaller cameras and lenses.

Ive used Vanguard products for years, and theyre super high quality.

SanDisk 512GB microSD card: $42 @ Amazon

This bag also comes with storage pockets, internal dividers and a bottle carrier, plus hooks for carabiners.

Take the phone holder off and its a standard 38-inch thread for use with cameras and action cams.
