The Best Photography Gifts for Adventurers
Coming up with Christmas gift ideas for adventurers doesn’t have to be an adventure in itself. Sometimes the adrenaline-seeking outdoor types can seem a little hard to understand - let alone buy presents for!
Thankfully, the team at Ted’s Cameras love a bit of adventure themselves - and we’re here to provide you with our top choices of the best Christmas Gifts for adventurers.
GoPro Hero 10 Black
There’s a very good reason why GoPros are more well known than the category they inhabit. A trailblazer in its field, the GoPro Hero 10 Black is the latest addition to arguably the number one adventure camera series of all time. Coming off the back of number 9, GoPro maintains its “ready for action” vibe with another epic action camera.
Keeping the same overall design aesthetic as the Hero 9, this all-new adventure camera has a host of new features that will make it a worthy upgrade and an exciting entry-point for action lovers.
Starting with the all-new GP2 processor, the GoPro Hero 10 Black upgrades its performance in low-light situations, alongside significant improvements to its HyperSmooth 4.0 technology, making sure even the most extreme video recordings will turn out smooth and stable.
Capable of recording 5.3K 60FPS and 2.7K 240FPS SLow-Mo Videos with its 23.6MP image sensor, it’s now even easier to compose your shots and operate your GoPro thanks to an included LCD on the front and rear LCD touch screen on the back. Couple that with a 10M Waterproof rating, and you have the king of adventure cameras. Need we say more?
DJI Action 2 Power Combo
Using the power of magnets to make swapping mounts fast and easy, the DJI Action 2 will always be able to find the best position to capture all of your most exhilarating moments. Featuring RockSteady 2.0 Image Stabilisation to smooth out even the roughest of adventures, the DJI Action 2 combines horizon levelling for a touch of class and professionalism to your results.
The DJI Action 2 is no pushover when it comes to photographic capabilities. Featuring a wide-angle lens at the front, with a 155-degree field of view, adventurers can record up to 4K 120FPS resolution, as well as high-quality 12MP RAW stills. When you combine that with its 10m waterproof resistance, as well as being dust and crush-proof, it’s a powerful action camera that won’t back down.
Bushnell 12x42 Powerview Binoculars
If you have a loved one who spends time hiking and exploring the great outdoors in all its climatic glory, then they’ll need a suitably rugged and versatile kit of accessories. A good starting point is a solid pair of binoculars, so they can survey their surroundings and see what’s on the horizon - without the risk of damage from the elements.
The Bushnell 12x42 Powerview Binoculars are a suitably outdoorsy pair of binoculars, with water and fog-proof design, as well as non-slip rubber armouring - making them easier to hold and operate when the environment is cold and slippery. In terms of viewing, these binoculars provide a lengthy magnification and generous objective lenses that have been multi-coated for bright and clear results. Adventure seekers will love this versatile companion, perfect for everyday exploring.


Nikon Coolpix W300


The Nikon Coolpix W300 is an exciting adventure camera for one crucial reason. Able to be submerged to an impressive 30 metres without the use of submersible housing, this is the perfect compact digital camera for anyone who often finds themselves by the ocean. Tough enough for divers, surfers, boat owners and even sunbathers, the Coolpix W300 is shockproof to 2.4m, dustproof and able to withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees.
Despite its rugged construction and tough-as-nails feature set, this compact camera is more than just a workhorse; it’s a photographic powerhouse. Boasting a 16MP CMOS sensor, 5x Optical Zoom, 4K UHD Video Recording and Vibration Reduction, you won’t be disappointed with this adventurous purchase.
Olympus Tough TG6
Olympus has redefined tough with its range of rugged, waterproof cameras, with TG6 being the latest in the range. The TG6 is the best compact camera to take to places that only the most daring adventurers would dare to trek. It is dustproof, crushproof, freezeproof, waterproof up to 15m and shockproof to 2.1m. Talk about tough!


Once again, this camera is no slouch when it comes to image-making, with a back-lit CMOS sensor for outstanding low-light performance, 4K video capture and a 4x optical zoom lens. This lens features a fast f2 aperture, so it lets in plenty of light when shooting in darker conditions, such as underwater. Also, well-suited to underwater shooting and macro shooting on land is the TG6’s impressive close focus of just 1cm.
Tasco 10x25 Binoculars


The Tasco 10x25 is a lightweight and compact pair of binoculars that won’t strain your neck in between sights. Boasting 10x Magnification and a 55-degree angle of view, these binoculars make viewing wildlife from afar more manageable than ever. These Tasco Binoculars feature raised finger-ridges for slip resistance and black rubber armouring for added shock resistance for increased comfort. And with its easy-to-locate knurled centre focusing wheel, you can quickly sharpen the image for a clearer and more accurate representation.
