Qin Xie is a freelance travel writer whose on-location photographs and videos have accompanied her words in The Times, National Geographic Traveller, Lonely Planet and other global titles. She's tested plenty of consumer gears and gadgets for publications such as The Independent and The London Standard but prefers working with a lightweight, pared-down kit instead of being overloaded with equipment. Currently she's shooting with a Canon 250D but she also loves a lightweight MFT cam.
