Fujifilm X-T50 (why I switched):

I moved from a Canon 5D Mark II to the Fujifilm X-T50 to travel lighter. I first looked at the X100VI, but the fixed lens didn’t fit how I shoot and it was sold out everywhere. The X-T50 gives me that modern Fuji look in a compact mirrorless body with interchangeable lenses, so I can keep a small kit (23mm and 50mm) and stay flexible on trips. It’s not as pocketable as an X100, but it’s much easier to carry than a weighty DSLR and does what I need on the road. (40MP X-Trans 5 HR sensor, same generation as Fuji’s latest bodies.)

The DJI Mini 4 Pro is my travel drone when I want quick aerials without hauling a heavy kit. It fits in the PRVKE 31L top compartment (or the Rogue 9L if I’m packing light) with batteries and the controller. Image quality is solid for travel work, it launches fast, and the size keeps the setup simple on motorbike days and short flights. It won’t beat bigger drones in wind or low light, but for most trips the portability works best for me.
