One of the biggest challenges for ecotourists is keeping your devices such as smart phones, tablets and cameras charged when you are off in the bush and the electricity supply isn’t reliable.  Enter the Powerseed!

This is the one I have and I love it!  It works with my iPhone and Nikon Coolpix P900 (but not the MS Surface Pro I was traveling with until it broke down.

The first trip I actually used it on was the Northern Territory which I am about to start blogging about but I got it when I visited a friend in the USA after the South America & Caribbean trip.

WHERE TO BUY ONE

USA – Orlando

The biggest problem I was having is that the Nikon eats batteries like no one’s business.  It’s no good to find an awesome bird when you are out in the bush and your camera is dead!  The Powerseed gives a full charge to my camera which I thought was pretty amazing!
