Having your phone and camera in one device is convenient, but it does cause issues. Exposing your high-priced phone to the elements on outdoor adventures isn’t always smart. And part of the reason you go off-grid is to get away from the distraction of your phone.

That’s why Nocs Provisions created its new Portal Adventure Camera. It’s a rugged digital camera designed to survive the wilds, whether you’re on a boat, in the mountains or on the trail. It’s screenless, which means you have to trust your instincts and stay in the moment rather than fussing over getting a particular shot. The Portal, which weighs in at just 4.9 ounces, features a weather-sealed body that can handle bumps and drops while resisting dust and rain. Shoot 16MP images or 4K UHD video, and choose from six film-inspired presets that mimic classic film stocks (or a no-filter mode for custom editing). You can even pair the camera with Nocs Provisions binoculars or monoculars to create a magnifying lens. With a single charge, you can take about 3,000 photos or 35 minutes of video, and you can easily transfer images to your phone or computer when you get home.

So take all the photos you want without letting it distract you from your trip.
