The last time that I went on vacation I brought my new camcorder with me but I forgot to grab an extra camcorder battery before I headed out the door. I learned a few things about having to constantly charge my camcorder battery on that vacation. Mostly because I really love using my new camcorder, and when you are vacation it can be hard to not want to shoot nearly everything that you see. If you ask me, having a spare camcorder battery handy is perhaps one of the most important and useful camera accessory that you can take with you on any trip abroad. Imagine being in the outback in Australia and you are shooting wildlife and you get that low battery signal. No problem, you just pop in that extra camcorder battery and you are ready to go. Chances are that no matter where you end up when on vacation it’s going to be somewhere exciting and important. Just make certain that you do what I do – checkmark that extra camcorder battery on your list of things to bring with you before you head to the airport.
