7 Cool Tech Products To Make Summer Travel Easier

Danielle Cassagnol of the Consumer Technology Association gave us some terrific tips and product recommendations on how to use tech to make summer travel easier.

So, how can you get more out of your summer travels with your tech?

1. Use Smarter Travel Products

Did you know that “Roughly 40% of all U.S. air travelers arrive late?” (Source: Forbes). Plus, flights are not considered late by the FAA unless they are more than 15 minutes late. Make sure you are prepared.

We checked out the Modobag, which combines a suitcase with the innovation of personal mobility to create the world’s first rideable carry-on luggage. It was amazing! It fits in overhead bins, holds up to 85 percent of a typical carry-on, charges your electronic devices and travels at speeds up to 8 mph. It’s the perfect travel companion for road warriors and individuals with mobility issues who are looking for an efficient and safe way to get to their destination. Modobag is also fun, because we believe getting to your destination should be just as fun as the destination itself.

• Nanosafe Battery System complies with airline, FAA, TSA and IATA requirements.
• Travel range up to 10 miles on single charge at speeds of 5 and 8 mph.

2. Take Better Photos 
While we love our smartphones, digital cameras will take better photos.
Digital Cameras have:

– Optical zoom lenses, which capture far away objects with more clarity
– Better focusing technology, which enables them to track objects and people
– Larger image sensors, which capture more detail and richer colors.
