Welcome to Osaka, Japan: home of delicious okonomiyaki and takoyaki Japanese food. What's okonomiyaki and takoyaki you ask? The former is a buckwild Japanese pancake and the latter are life-changing octopus balls. To make a long story short, this chow fiesta marked a turning point in my life, a reawakening of sorts. It inspired me to become a better man ... in other words, nice F*n feeding frenzy right there.

CAMERA & AUDIO EQUIPMENT I USE:
Camera: Sony RX100 M3 ► [ Ссылка ]
Voiceover Mic: Samson Go Mic ► [ Ссылка ]
In-Field Mic: Zoom H1 ► [ Ссылка ]
Tripod: Manfrotto Pixi ► [ Ссылка ]
EXPLANATION: I try to keep my equipment as simple as possible. 90% of the time, all I use to film is my Sony RX100 M3, and all I use for audio is my Samson Go Mic (which I use to record voiceovers after filming). Occasionally I use the Zoom H1 for audio if I want to record audio in-field. As for the Pixi tripod, I sometimes use it while filming food, but most of the time I use it to mount my Samson Go Mic on a desk for voiceovers (in conjunction with the other accessories, listed below).
MODULAR COMPONENTS I USE:
Smatree SmaPole S3 (hollow pole only) ► [ Ссылка ]
Joby Action Arm (arm only) ► [ Ссылка ]
Joby Hand Grip (hand grip only) ► [ Ссылка ]
Joby Hub Adapter ► [ Ссылка ]
EXPLANATION: Because I'm often traveling, I prefer to have the lightest, smallest, most versatile components available. Therefore, I use bits and pieces from the above gear sets, and these bits and pieces can be connected together in a huge variety of ways. For example, they can be made into a long selfie stick, they can be mounted to my tripod to make it extra-tall, and they can be used with my tripod and Go Mic to position the microphone directly in front of my face while I'm recording voiceovers at a desk.
MICROPHONE ACCESSORIES I USE:
Foam Mic Cover ► [ Ссылка ]
Pop Filter ► [ Ссылка ]
EXPLANATION: To improve sound quality for voiceovers, I place a mic cover on the Samson Go Mic, then use an elastic band to hang the pop filter on top. This is not the best audio protection available, but it is the most minimalistic and space-efficient gear for traveling. The mic cover can also be used on the rare occasion that I record audio with the Zoom H1.
GEAR I USE FOR CHARGING ON-THE-GO:
Anker Mini PowerBank ► [ Ссылка ]
Silicone Cables ► [ Ссылка ]
Adapter for Micro to Mini ► [ Ссылка ]
Adapter for Micro to Lightning ► [ Ссылка ]
EXPLANATION: Anker's lipstick-sized powerbanks are small yet powerful. I travel with two, so that if one has a low charge, I can charge it in my hotel while I'm out and about with the other powerbank. Using the powerbank in conjunction with the short, durable silicone cables and micro/mini/lightning adapters means I can charge just about any device while on-the-go.
