3 Must-Have Gadgets/Tools for Digital Nomads

Digital Nomads

I’ve been a digital nomad for a few years now, and I’ve seen more and more people becoming one. I’m glad that people are exploring the world and working at the same time and importantly, breaking the cycle of 9-5 jobs.

However, my heart breaks when digital nomads face problems due to their negligence. In recent times, I’ve experienced that most digital nomads aren’t prepared for unexpected problems. I mean, it’s fun to work and travel at the same time, but if you’re not equipped with the right gadgets, it can be a nightmare.

So, in this article, I will share a few important gadgets that I believe every digital nomad should have. Let’s start:

High-Quality Webcam

A portable high-quality webcam is a small gadget but can make a huge difference, especially when you want to portray a professional image in front of clients.

Why Should You Have a Webcam?

Digital nomads may struggle to find the best lighting for a video call. In such situations, a quality webcam offers high-resolution images to increase your visibility. Plus, if you do not have a high-end laptop with an in-built quality webcam installed, then a portable webcam can offer you resolutions up to 1080p or even 4K.

Price Range and Brands Recommended

Insta360 offers all the features and more discussed above and I’ve been using it for more than a year now. Plus, you can find it in online stores within the price range of $220-$230. 

Features

  • Most webcams available in the market are equipped with AI sensors. These sensors adjust the webcam’s lens to your movement so you’re never out of the frame.
  • Besides image quality, a webcam offers advanced controls where you can adjust contrast, brightness, and more aspects of your video.
  • Different video modes are available, for instance, for presentations, one-on-one meetings, group conferences, or more. You can choose any preferred mode and a webcam may adjust your video for optimal quality.

A Reliable Internet Connection

It’s clear as daylight that if you don’t have a reliable internet connection, you’d not be a digital nomad, but just a nomad.

Why Should You Have a Reliable Internet Connection?

A quality internet connection is required to attend online meetings, send/receive data, use tools/software to work, and more. In short, if you don’t have an internet connection, you cannot work. Also, I’m not referring to cellular data here, because we all know in remote areas, the signals drop significantly, and it may affect the internet speeds.

Price Range and Brand Recommended

After the first few gruesome experiences with my former ISP, I switched to Xfinity. Now, I use Xfinity hotspot zones, which are available all around the country. Also, you don’t have to pay for them separately since Xfinity’s hotspot zones are free with all their plans and packages. Plus, they offer 24/7 Xfinity customer service.

Xfinity’s internet plans start from $19, and as I mentioned, they provide hotspot zones with all their plans and packages.

Disclaimer: Prices, plans, and availability vary on location.

Features

  • A reliable internet connection can provide a wholesome work experience where you can freely attend online meetings, use heavy tools/software, and send/receive large data files.
  • Not just for work, a quality internet connection can also help fulfill your entertainment needs while traveling.

Portable Power Station

A portable power station can keep your mind at peace whenever you face power/electricity issues while traveling.

Why Should You Have a Portable Power Station?

There’s no guarantee that you won’t face power cuts while traveling. And in that situation, what happens if your laptop’s battery dies while working? Or if your vehicle needs a jump-start in the middle of a road with no one around? Or you may need to light up your campsite to feel secure. In all these situations and more while traveling, a portable power station can come in handy.

Price Range and Brand Recommended

BougeRV 360 is one of the most lightweight, and most powerful portable power stations you can find today. It has a price range of $139-$280, which is comparatively much less than its competitors.

Features

  • High-quality portable power stations take less time to charge themselves and provide great power backup.
  • Most portable power stations now have a multi-device functionality. You can charge your laptop, and smartphone, and use small electric appliances at the same time.
  • Besides electricity, most portable power stations can be charged via solar energy.

Bonus Section: A Few More Gadgets

Here, I will just briefly tell you about some more gadgets that I believe every digital nomad should have by their side.

  • Cable Holder: A cable holder makes your life less cluttered as it can sort different cables separately.
  • Label Printer: You may need to print out documents or notes and label important points on them. And a label printer can help you out here.
  • Noise-canceling Headphones: A noise-canceling headphone is the best when you want to focus on work or block the outside noise.
