Prime Day 2021 is here! June 20th and 21st 2021 you’ll find some of the best Amazon deals ever. Over the last few years we picked up some awesome Prime Day deals (including our sweet bike trailer at $400 off retail) and I’m expecting this year’s deals to be just as good.
So without further ado, here are 2021’s best Prime Day deals for travel gear (including Prime Day deals on cameras, because no trip is complete without the photographic evidence). We’ll be updating this page as new deals come up, so bookmark it and make sure to check back often. The good deals will sell out early, so be sure to act fast if there’s something you really want.
Before you start shopping, make sure you’re a Prime member! You can grab a free trial of Amazon Prime here to get you through the sales.

Best Prime Day deals on Camera Gear
Unfortunately deals on high-end camera gear are thin this year, probably due to global supply chain and manufacturing challenges. But there are still some good buys for Prime Day camera gear and accessories.
Prime Day is always a great time to pick up new memory cards. I’m a big fan of Sandisk, and they’ve never failed me through the decades. Right now you can get 20% off their 256 GB Extreme SD card. For a little less, you can grab the 256 GB Extreme micro SD card to fit your smaller devices.
We love snorkeling and always want to capture the cool stuff we see under water. We have a budget-friendly action camera and that it comes with practically every accessory you need. The swankiest version (which is less than what we paid for our lower-end one) adds a touch screen and upgraded image quality.
If you have room in your budget for a real GoPro, check out this great GoPro HERO8 bundle – it includes the GoPro, short handy and more.
One of our favorite projects during our gap year was our son’s travel journal. You can easily make your own by printing photos as you go with this tiny printer – now $20 off – and then attaching them to a travel journal with crafter’s tape.
