Equipment Collection for Capturing Fireworks Photos and Videos
From smartphones to cameras, useful gear to help with stability, battery life, and composition
Capturing fireworks photos is much more difficult than simply seeing them with your eyes. Fireworks explode suddenly and disappear quickly, the surroundings are dark, there are many people, and even a small shake can be obvious when shooting by hand. Especially when using a smartphone, the fireworks may appear small in the frame, may become too bright and blurred, or the battery can drain quickly during video recording.
This list compiles recommended equipment to help capture fireworks more stably with your smartphone or camera. It’s essential to prepare based on your viewing location and shooting method rather than just packing a lot of gear. If you are positioned nearby, consider using wide-angle and stabilization equipment; if you are viewing from afar, zoom and stable support will be more important; and for long-duration shoots, battery and equipment protection become crucial.

Smartphone Tripod
A smartphone tripod is one of the most effective pieces of equipment for fireworks photography. When handheld, it’s easy to shake in dark environments, but when secured on a tripod, you can maintain your composition while capturing stable photos and videos. It is especially useful for time-lapse or long-duration video recording.
In crowded venues, a lower and more stable tripod is typically more practical than a very tall one. Check whether it can withstand wind without tipping over, securely holds your smartphone, and can accommodate your device even with a case on. Use it at or below knee height to avoid blocking the view of surrounding spectators, or restrict its use to within your picnic area.

Bluetooth Remote Shutter
A Bluetooth remote shutter helps reduce shake that can occur when pressing the smartphone screen. By fixing your smartphone on a tripod and holding the remote, you can more comfortably capture the moment the fireworks explode. It’s also very handy for group photos or capturing moments during waiting times before the show.
Since it is small and easy to lose, it’s a good idea to keep it in a strap or small pouch. Pair it with your smartphone beforehand and check that it works properly in the camera app to avoid any last-minute confusion. Some remotes may have limitations on starting and stopping video, so verify compatibility with your shooting method.

Camera Tripod
A camera tripod is essential for those who want to capture long trails of fireworks. In long-exposure photography, even slight movements of the camera can disrupt the trails of light, so reliable support is necessary. In windy locations, such as by rivers or beaches, it is advantageous to have a heavier tripod that provides stability.
However, at events, be sure to consider whether tripod use is allowed and how it might obstruct the view of other spectators. A wide stance can hinder movement, and setting it up too high can block the view of people behind you. If your primary aim is capturing photos, arrive early to secure a spot at the edge or where there is minimal obstruction, and keep the tripod bag out of the traffic flow.

Camera Release
A camera release allows you to control the shutter without directly touching the camera. It is particularly useful for bulb shooting, where you need to adjust exposure time from the moment the fireworks ascend until they burst and fade. Reducing the shock from pressing buttons also makes for more stable results with tripod shots.
Wired releases offer stable connections, while wireless options allow for more freedom of movement but require monitoring battery and connectivity. Compatibility varies by camera manufacturer and model, so be sure to check this before purchasing. It’s also helpful to familiarize yourself with the location of buttons for operation in the dark.

Wide-Angle Smartphone Lens
A wide-angle smartphone lens helps reduce the issue of fireworks being cut off when shooting from nearby locations. If you're seated in prime locations like Yeouido or Gwangalli, using the basic camera angle may not allow you to include both the sky and the background in your shot. A wide-angle lens is great for capturing the fireworks, river, bridge, and atmosphere all in one frame.
However, cheaper lenses may cause edge distortion or light flares. The quality difference is more pronounced in scenes with many bright point light sources like fireworks. Since clip-on lenses must align precisely with the smartphone camera, it's a good idea to attach them beforehand and check they are secure even with a case on.

Telephoto Smartphone Lens
A telephoto smartphone lens is helpful when viewing fireworks from afar, such as from Namsan, Yongyangbongjeong Park, or across the river. It allows you to capture the fireworks larger and highlight them amidst the city nightscape. This is more suitable for observation points rather than close festival venues.
Telephoto lenses can greatly magnify shake, so it’s advisable to use them with a tripod or stabilizing device. In dark settings, focus may shake or image quality may deteriorate, so opting for lenses that offer stable quality rather than excessive zoom is better. Make sure also to check compatibility with your smartphone model, camera position, and case thickness.

High-Capacity Power Bank
A high-capacity power bank is one of the most practical safety devices for smartphone shooters. During waiting times, you may use maps, messengers, and social media, and once the main event starts, you'll be taking many photos and videos, causing the battery to drain quickly. Especially video recording and high-resolution modes use up both battery and storage space simultaneously.
Don’t just check the capacity; also confirm whether it supports fast charging, how many output ports it has, and cable compatibility. If you plan to share with others, a power bank with two or more ports is convenient. However, very large power banks can be heavy and make moving tiring, so consider the balance between capacity and weight if you have a long walk to the event.

Spare Camera Battery
Having a spare camera battery is crucial if you plan to engage in long exposure or video recording. Keeping live view on while adjusting your composition or waiting outdoors in cold weather can cause battery drain faster than expected. It’s safe to assume charging options are limited at event venues.
Prepare at least one fully charged spare and store it in a small case or pouch to avoid contact with dirt on the battery contacts. In cold or windy places like winter or beaches, battery performance can decline, so keeping it close to your body can help. It’s also wise to check beforehand the differences in genuine and compatible batteries for your specific camera model.

Lens Cleaning Tissue
Lens Cleaning Tissues
Lens cleaning tissues may be small, but they can significantly affect the quality of your photos. Often, fireworks photos appear hazy or light may blur due to fingerprints, dust, or grease on the lens surface. Wiping your smartphone and camera lenses before shooting can greatly improve the clarity of the fireworks.
Using regular tissues or clothing can create fine scratches on the lens or spread grease. Bringing individually packaged cleaning tissues or microfiber cloths is a simple and hygienic solution. Since moisture and dust are prevalent at riverbanks or beaches, checking your lenses before and during the event, as well as before cleaning up can be beneficial.

Waterproof Camera Pouch
A waterproof camera pouch is essential for protecting your equipment when waiting outdoors for a long time. Fireworks events can have ambiguous rain forecasts, and your gear can easily be exposed to moisture from rivers, drink spills, or dust. Organizing your camera, batteries, memory cards, remote, and cables in one location also makes it easier to find your items in the dark venue.
When choosing one, not only consider its waterproof capabilities but also its internal dividers, cushioning, and ease of opening and closing. A bag that is too large can hinder mobility in crowded events, while a bag that is too small may force you to cram in lenses or batteries. If rain is likely, preparing a small zip lock bag along with your pouch to separately protect memory cards and batteries is also advisable.

When it comes to capturing fireworks, having good equipment is often less important than basic settings and on-site etiquette. Flash can often be unhelpful for fireworks photography, and bright screens or tall tripods can obstruct the view of other spectators. Before shooting, make sure to clean your lens, check the battery and storage space, and pre-establish your composition before the show starts.
Focusing solely on taking pictures and videos can sometimes lead to missing out on the performance itself. Finding a balance by capturing a few scenes while enjoying the biggest highlights with your eyes will lead to a more satisfying experience.
