Im finally heading to Kyoto next month with my Canon R6 and im trying to figure out what extra gear is actually worth the weight in my bag. I have about 300 bucks left in my budget for accessories. I saw a lot of people recommending the Peak Design Capture Clip for long walks but then I read some posts saying it gets really painful on the shoulder after a few hours if youre using a heavier lens like my 24-105mm. I also looked into those tiny travel tripods but they seem so flimsy for a full frame setup. what do you guys actually carry when you are on the move all day? is there something better than just a standard neck strap...

Kyoto involves tons of walking so you might want to consider the total weight. I would suggest staying away from cheap tripods because they can be unstable. Make sure to prioritize power and security instead:
- Canon LP-E6NH Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
- Peak Design Slide Camera Strap The Peak Design Slide Camera Strap is much safer for your neck than the stock one. Honestly, save your money and skip the tripod unless youre doing night shots... its just safer.

Been thinking about your gear list... honestly the capture clip is rough with a 24-105mm. Try the Spider Holster SpiderLight Backpacker Kit instead. It shifts weight to your waist so your shoulders dont scream after four hours. Also, pick up a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB UHS-II SDXC card. The R6 writes fast and you dont want a slow card bottlenecking you during a busy Kyoto day.

Honestly I am in the exact same boat. Im heading out soon with my R6 too and that 24-105mm is such a heavy beast to carry. Im mostly worried about reliability... really dont want a cheap strap failing or getting my gear swiped. Trying to stay under budget while keeping everything safe is a nightmare. I was looking at the Manfrotto Pixi Evo 2-Section Mini Tripod but worry it might just tip over.
