Bringing the Necessary Equipment
The necessary things to bring on a trip depends on your traveling purpose and the destination.
For overseas trips in particular, you have to think about what to bring in accordance to the local conditions.
Here are some suggestions for your consideration.
oCamcorder
Think about how many hours of shooting you will usually perform in a day. Be sure to prepare enough recording medium especially for long overseas trips.
If you are recording in SD cards, get ready the sufficient number of cards, including some for backup.
oBattery Pack
Prepare a battery pack that is ready for double the expected recording time in a day. For example, if you plan to record for 2 hours a day, prepare a battery pack that is ready for 4 hours (actual recording time).
For a day trip, you can prepare a battery with low capacity but for a long trip, do prepare a few batteries with high capacities.
oAC Adapter
The JVC AC adapter supports voltages from 110 V to 240 V, and hence can be used anywhere in the world.
Bring along the adapter if you are traveling for a long time. Charge the battery pack while sleeping so that you can record with full battery power the next day.
oPower Plug Adapter
.
The shape of the power plug varies according to countries. Be sure to check the shape of the power plug beforehand, and bring the appropriate power plug adapter.
