There’s no avoiding it: summer’s coming, and at some point you’re going to have to go on holiday. Luckily, these travel-friendly gadgets can ease the pain of being separated from your Spider-Man duvet cover…

ESSENTIALS

Knomo Budapest

Vagabond or city slicker, one-bag travel is the ultimate goal. You know, flouncing through the arrivals hall while the sorry masses hoard around the baggage belts. Keen to cut free from checked-in commitments? Make the switch to a single sack with this featherweight number from Knomo. Divided inside and replete with handy pockets, there’s space enough for a laptop and a week’s worth of clothes – and at 700g it won’t devour your cabin allowance.

Denon AH-GC30

From aeroplane engines to droning men in suits, distracting sounds abound on business trips. Cut out the hum with these lightweight wireless cans. Each memory-foam cup packs two noise-cancelling mics, while specialised modes for flying, commuting and offices ensure perfect hush from desk to departure. Fuming at your boss flying first class? Fire a mile-high meditation playlist through the 40mm FreeEdge drivers and you’ll be a picture of in-flight calm.

DJI Osmo Pocket

Instagram ‘influencers’ might paint travel as sun-soaked and exclusive, but you don’t need 10,000 followers to get gorgeous holiday videos. Record your Ibiza weekend with this palm-friendly cam from drone-makers DJI and you’ll have slick 4K 60fps footage to sling at your story. Several smart modes – including automatic subject tracking – make blockbuster shots a cinch, while a 140-minute battery life should see you through the evening.

Nokia 210

You know all those festival promo videos with carefree souls swaying at sunset as some long-haired bohemian strums away on stage? Strange how they never show anyone drunkenly slinging their smartphone in a swampy puddle, sobbing uncontrollably then taking a wee in their welly. Still, if you’re going to lose a mobile in the mud, might as well make it a cheap one – like this internet-connected Nokia, with VGA rear camera and 20-day battery.
