Noisemakers

Pyle 50W Rechargeable Megaphone

One of the most reliable megaphones out there. Loud, and lasts longer than most.

View on Amazon →

Mgrolx Rechargeable Megaphone

Built-in rechargeable battery. No trigger lock, so use a rubber band if you don't want to hold it. Also sold under Uzochi and Pyle — get whatever is cheapest.

Good for when activists' voices are getting tired from chanting.

Camera Gear

DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

Excellent quality action camera. Note: footage is not encrypted, so there is some risk of footage being accessed if the device is seized. The Osmo Action 6 isn't enough of an improvement to justify the higher price for most activist use. Can sometimes be hard to find in the USA.

Magnetic Chest Mount

Attaches magnetically through a shirt or jacket. Compatible with DJI Osmo and similar action cameras.

Privacy Gear

Google Pixel

The phone to get if you want to run GrapheneOS — a hardened, more private version of Android. GrapheneOS only runs on Pixel hardware.

Webcam / Phone Camera Cover

Works great on phones and laptops. Ultra-thin slide cover — quick to open and close.

Privacy Screen Protector

Any tempered glass privacy screen protector. Which one to buy depends on your phone model — search for your specific phone. Prevents shoulder-surfing in public.

Wired Headphones

Wired headphones can't be tracked the way Bluetooth ones can. Any wired option works — no specific recommendation since availability varies.
