One of my favourite pieces of travel gear is my Manfrotto Tripod, so when they contacted us to name The Planet D one of the best travel blogs they follow, you can imagine what a honour it was. I’ve been using them for years and we always tell people to use them whenever we write a gear list post here on the website.
I’ve taken my tripod from China to New Zealand, over some of the toughest terrain on earth on our road trip from England to Mongolia and down to Antarctica all the way up to Alaska.
Manfrotto Names their Best Travel Blogs
Manfrotto featured three other super websites that they consider the best travel blogs who jet off to some of the most exotic locations in the world. We are honoured to be a part of them. NIEDblog, superduperfantastic and As we travel. You should check out their travel blogs for great photography and adventures too!
They featured several of everyones photos, so make sure that you head over to the Manfotto blog for the entire slide show. Here’s a sneak peak from us.
Manfrotto’s best travel blogs

The Manfrotto 732CY M-Y Carbon Tripod
with the Manfrotto 494RC2 Ball Head
is the perfect combination for a travel blogger. We carry a lot of equipment, so it is important to keep the gear that I do bring with me on my round the world travels as light as possible. This tripod is definitely lightweight yet sturdy and durable too.
It served me well when taking HDR photography, time lapse photography, long exposures at night and in dark and crowded caverns and caves. It’s been put through the wringer and it has seen better days. It’s time to upgrade to one of their 055 pro series tripod soon as one of the clamps of it’s legs have broken off and it is on the verge of toppling over every time I use it. Yes, the gear takes a licking when traveling with Dave and Deb, but the Manfrotto lasted through 7 continents and countless countries. If it can endure bumping over the tough roads of Kazakhstan and Mongolia, it can survive nearly anything.
So thank you Manfrotto for naming us one of the best travel blogs on your website, it’s a huge honour for us. Photography is my passion and to be recognized by a company that knows photography and that I use myself has made my day!

Congratulations. And thanks for the link to the story. Been reading through the other featured travel blogs now..
Thanks Arun, glad we could introduce you to the other winners as well. Cheers.
With your travel article like this, you really deserve that recognition. I’m one of your readers who really longs for new post because I am sure it’s another fantastic article and great photos. Congratulations.
That means a lot to us, thank you Mike. Much appreciated.
Congrats on the recognition.
What a lovely photo of those penguins!
Will be in Antarctica sometime next year and hopefully we can get some great shots like this.
Your site has alot of lovely photos.
Have a great time in Antarctica. You will have an amazing time! Thanks so much for the compliment, it was a huge honour for us.
What a beautiful picture of those penguins! i Haven’t visited Antarctica yet, but after seeing a fab picture like this one, it just makes me wish i was there. keep up the good work.
Thank you Beth. It was a dream for us to be able to go to Antarctica. It only took us 12 years of travel to finally make it to the 7th continent;) We held onto the dream and finally made it happen thanks to Quark Expeditions.
I thought I could see this only on the movie Happy Feet. I was wrong. Look at that amazing photo. Good shot there!
Haha, While we were traveling to Antarctica, our ship played Happy Feet on the entertainment system. It definitely got us in the mood for the penguins.
Congrats to everyone! And man those penguins look great.
Thanks Gerard, yes those penguins are cuties:)
Seriously amazing photos! Antarctica has been on my list for a while, but your endorsement really makes me want to go!
Congratulations! You deserve it
And that is some serious photography, loved it
I enjoy your article. I have found so many ideas and travel guides which helps me for my travel. I also like viewing the photos of Manfrotto photography. The photographer has an eye in photography.

Great photo and congratulations!
I do have a question, what kind of camera do you travel with? I am currently using a NIkon D5000 which has the smaller sensor so smaller, lighter weight camera. But am considering upgrading to an FX format.
Hi Penny, sorry for the late reply. I use a Full Frame Camera – The Canon 5D mkII. But I also have a crop sensor body that I use for wildlife. The Canon T4I. It depends on what you want. I travel with a lot of gear, but I love taking photos, so I find it worth it.
