Top 5 Festival Gear essentials at Mobile Fun

There are over a hundred festivals this year, and if you’re going to one of them there are some things you’ll need. We recently launched a new section of our site just for festival gear, so let’s take a look at some of the best pieces of kit!

1. enCharge 10,000mAh dual USB portable charger and torch

The biggest worry for me at a festival is running out of power. If your phone dies, you can’t find your friends, can’t take photos of your favourite bands and you definitely can’t figure out who’s playing next and where (it’s amazing that festivals could take place before smartphones, huh?). But with an enCharge portable charger, you’ll be able to keep your smartphone filled for the entire weekend. In fact, with 10,000mAh on tap you can charge all of your friend’s phones, and probably still make it to the end of the festival with battery life to spare. You can charge two phones at once, and there’s even a built-in torch if you need it.

2. AquaFonik Bluetooth Shower Speaker

This Bluetooth speaker is designed to be used in the shower, but the same Bluetooth connectivity and water resistance makes it great for muddy festivals as well. Listen to music at a much louder volume than is capable from your smartphone’s internal speaker, and drown out the distant sound of bands you don’t like. The battery is recharged over USB, and lasts for six hours at a stretch.

3. LifeProof Nuud Case for iPhone 5S / 5

It’s a fact of life that no matter how careful you are with your phone at a festival, it’s going to get scratched, knocked or dropped in mud at some time over the weekend. You could go with a low-cost Nokia, but if you want to bring your iPhone instead then you should keep it secured inside a good case. The LifeProof Nuud is one of the best available, with a powerful screen protector, drop protection and a seal that prevents water (or mud) ingress. An absolute saviour for your iPhone!

4. Shutterball Remote Camera Shutter and Stand

Taking selfies is harder than it looks. It takes months of intense selfie training before you can perfect your shots, as you need to put yourself in the frame, pose and take a photo all in one fluid motion. It’s particularly hard on big Android phones, which are hard to hold and shoot with one-handed. Thankfully, there’s a solution: the Shutterball. You hold this tiny ball in your hand while you want to take a photo, then squeeze it to take the shot. That means you can adopt a more relaxed posture, and your hand only needs to frame the photo. The Shutterball also comes with a stand, so you can use it to take remote shots as well.

5. CleanSeal Liquid Screen Cleaning and Protection

This screen cleaning fluid is perfect for keeping your phone and other devices clean while you’re away from home. Greasy fingerprints, mud splatters and raindrops can all be carefully cleaned off, and the coating added by CleanSeal means your device will resist getting dirty in the future. It’s a clever stuff, and you’ll be using this for a long time after you return from the festival.
