I'm a sucker for gadgets and so is James Bond (a huge geek). I'm always on the hunt for pocket-sized gadgets that enhance my travel experience with time-saving efficiency, speed, or comfort. If you like to hang off cliffs, dive into abandoned castles under water, or navigate through the underworld, then I've got you covered. Here's my rundown of the best gadgets that no jetsetter can do without. Because the world is not enough, add some of these items to your suitcase to give your experience a 007 Bond-like thrill.

11. PowerTrekk

There may be times where you're off the grid, captured and stuck in the middle of nowhere without an outlet in sight. The PowerTrekk can generate electricity from a mere tablespoon of water. Just pour in H20 and this pocket-sized fuel cell will generate electricity.

12. Sony HMZ-T2 Private Movie Theater
