Find more deals on Shop Ahead, the Getaway Show Virtual Mall where you’ll find special offers on a whole range of outdoor products. 1. Capture adventure with the GoPro Hero+ LCD R4 499, omnico.co.za The GoPro Hero+ LCD is a point-of-view camera that captures clean video, superb stills and now features an LCD screen with touch-screen camera control and Wi-Fi. It’s probably the most user-friendly option out there. For the real tech-heads you can also find the newly released GoPro Session (R6 499) which is smaller than a box of matches, but just as rugged and waterproof, shooting 8-megapixel stills and 1080p HD film. 2. Pack it in with a Thule Legend GoPro backpack R2 400 at the Gauteng Getaway Show (normally R2 999), thule.com Once you’ve got the GoPro, get the Thule Legend GoPro backpack. The crushproof, padded compartment can hold up to three cameras and you can mount two of them to the pack and record from multiple angles. It’s also got all the features of a good daypack, such as sternum straps, a waist belt, and space for a water reservoir. 3. See the light with a Secur Spotlight R499, capeunionmart.co.za The Secur Spotlight is a cell phone charger and high-powered 10-LED lantern-cum-spotlight. It can be charged up four ways: the built-in dynamo generator, a USB port, a cigarette adaptor or (more boringly) via the electric mains. 4. A new kind of navigation with Garmin nuviCam R4 999, navworld.co.za The Garmin nuviCam has a built-in dash-cam with alerts (such as forward collision and lane departure warnings) to enhance driver awareness on the road. It records continuously and saves files on impact. It’s got a magnetic mount and a snapshot feature should you want to photograph anything in front of the vehicle. It can also get you from points A to B. 5. Trap and snap with a Sniper Trail Camera R4 499, trappers.co.za The Sniper Trail Camera shoots up to seven 12-megapixel snaps of any animals that cross the camera’s 20-metre range. It shoots in colour during the day, and has a flash for black and white nighttime images. There’s also a superb standby time of six months when running off AA batteries. 6. Fired up with MadKon braais From R2 300, madkon.co.za A nifty gadget, MadKon braais are easy to open and close – in 5 seconds to be perfectly pedantic. The stainless steel braais should last you a lifetime and are supplied with a grid and a bag. We like that they fold flat and take up very little space in the car. 7. Bright light: the NiteCore TM16 R5 495, nitecore.co.za The NiteCore TM16 is the new kid on the block with an impressive 700-metre beam range and 4000 Lumens of light. It uses four light sources and has a wide surface area – hence A LOT of light. It comes with a set of four rechargeable batteries and the rugged casing is waterproof to two meters. 8. Cool kit: Bushtec Safari 25-can Cooler Bag R259 at the Gauteng Getaway Show (normally R309), bushtecadventure.co.za The Bushtec Safari 25-can Cooler Bag is great for the beach or bush. The hardy exterior will stand up well to wear and the padded interior will keep those beers cold on the go. The exterior pockets are also great for stashing extras like the bottle opener. And remember, if you want to make sure you don’t miss out on special offers at the Gauteng Getaway Show, you can pre-order online and pick up your order when you visit the show. All pre-orders come with a free ticket so there’s no extra charge to collect – just be prepared for loads more tempting deals when you arrive.
