Camera accessories

That all comes down to how and where you shoot. The goal is finding compatible accessories that help you shoot better with what you’ve already got, and JB’s got the range to make that easy.

Here’s what that might look like:

• Studio setups – If you’re using a DSLR or shooting on a full-frame rig, go for rock-solid tripods, lighting gear, and reliable chargers that can handle all-day sessions.
• Vlogging kits – For lightweight mirrorless cameras or compact cameras, add gimbals, mics, and portable lights that won’t weigh you down.
• Travel gear – Whether you’re packing a digital camera, look for rechargeable batteries, cleaning gear, and bags built for movement.
• Action and outdoor – Shooting with action cameras? Load up with mounts, grips, waterproof housing and SD cards that can take a hit.
• Lifestyle & video content – If you’re working with video cameras, filters, reflectors and stable storage options help lock in clean footage across long takes.

Just getting into photography? You don’t need every bit of gear under the sun, but a solid starter kit makes life way easier. The right accessories help you shoot longer, stay steady, and avoid rookie headaches like flat batteries or dusty lenses.

Here’s what to lock in first:

• Support gear – Start with a tripod that suits your camera and style, or go light with a monopod or a compact Joby GorillaPod. Look for tripods and monopods with a quick-release plate so you're not fiddling with screws every time you move.
• Backup Power – That means a spare camera battery and a decent battery charger. Brands like Jupio and Inca make it easy to keep costs down without sacrificing reliability.
• Storage – A couple of good memory cards go a long way. Just make sure they’re fast enough to keep up with your camera.
• Protection – Add a proper camera strap that’s comfortable enough to wear all day, and a basic camera cleaning kit to keep smudges and dust out of your shots.

Shooting with action cams is a whole different ball game. You’re strapping gear to helmets, diving into the surf, or chasing trails on two wheels, so the accessories need to be as tough and flexible as the cameras themselves.

At JB, we’ve loaded up on action camera accessories so you can get the most out of your GoPro, DJI, or Insta360. Here’s the gear that makes the biggest difference:

• Mounts and grips – Lock in the right mounts, mount adaptors and a set of solid grips and sticks from brands like Manfrotto or XCD so you can film from any angle. Great for bikes, boards, or handheld POV shots.
• Stabilisation – Built-in tech is good, but a decent set of gimbals or compact rigs can push your footage even further.
• Power and storage – Action cameras chew through juice and data. Spare batteries, fast microSD or SD cards, and a portable charger mean you won’t miss a moment.
• Audio and extras – Clip-on vlogging mics and wireless transmitters keep your sound as sharp as your video, even when you’re in the thick of it.

Travelling with your camera? You don’t want to drag half the studio through the airport. You want gear that’s light, tough, and easy to throw in a bag. Here’s what actually earns a spot when you’re packing light:

• Carry and protect – A proper camera bag is non-negotiable. Brands like Peak Design and SmallRig make bags built for long days and rough trips. Back it up with padded lens cases so your glass doesn’t get smashed around.
• Shoot smarter – One or two versatile camera lenses go a long way, especially paired with lens filters and a lens hood to cut glare and protect your gear. Nikon and Sigma are killer options here—sharp, compact, and travel-ready.
• Stay powered and connected – A spare battery grip and a small card reader mean you can shoot longer and back up your shots without waiting till you’re home.

Keep it lean, and your kit will work as hard as you do. JB’s got every travel-ready accessory you’ll need to pull it off! You might even want to chuck an Instax in the bag. Instant prints on the road are perfect for travel journals or sharing with new mates.
