Agree on those batteries, 1020mAh is tiny. Definitely grab a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC V30 UHS-I card too so the a6400 can write that 100Mbps 4K video without lagging.

> I saw a lot of people recommending Peak Design straps but then I also saw some folks saying the stock one is fine @Reply #2 - good point! Honestly, just stick to the basic strap. I would suggest these instead to keep your gear safe on a budget:

• Tiffen 40.5mm UV Protection Filter
• Dry & Dry 10 Gram Silica Gel Packets
• MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths Be careful with the humidity in Japan... better safe than sorry. It's way cheaper to replace a scratched filter than your lens.

Building on the earlier suggestion, you definitely need a better way to carry that camera! Japan involves a ton of walking and the stock strap is honestly painful. I absolutely love Peak Design gear because they make swapping everything so fast... Plus, you should get:

• a cleaning blower from Giottos
• any wrist strap from Peak Design
• a lens cloth from ZEISS Keeping your glass clean in those crowded streets is non negotiable! Its a total game changer for your trip.

Youre gonna have the best time in Japan! I love the a6400, it's fantastic. Since your budget is tight, skip the fancy straps for now. Grab the Wasabi Power NP-FW50 Battery 2-Pack with Dual USB Charger because youll totally need extras! Also, the PCTC Sony a6400 Tempered Glass Screen Protector 3-Pack is a must for scratches. For a case, the MegaGear Ultra Light Neoprene Camera Case for Sony a6400 is cheap and works perfectly!

Ive shot mirrorless for a decade and agree on the power drain.

• Power banks are life-savers.
• Mini tripods help. Third-party gear usually beats the overpriced brand-name stuff for travel.
