A power bank and a microphone are not the first things most riders pack, but they should be. The Anker 737 keeps cameras, phones, and laptops running on multi-day trips, and its smart display takes the guesswork out of charging. The Shure MV7 is the best plug-and-play mic for moto-vloggers who want professional voice quality without a treated studio. Pair these with a good action camera and you have a kit that documents every mile.

If the camera is the part you have not settled yet, our best motorcycle action cameras guide compares GoPro, DJI and Insta360 for riders.
