Hunting for Weird Stuff in Akihabara with Stu in Tokyo, Japan // SoloTravelBlog

► Check out Stu in Tokyo: http://bit.ly/1KVP0fA I met up with Stu in Tokyo at Akihabara, Japan and we went on the hunt for some weird, wild stuff. This neighborhood might as well be labeled perv paradiso because aside from all the gachapon and cutting-edge crotch gear, this place is jam-packed with a whole bunch of sensual Japanese anime action. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that's a nice F-in meetup right there.

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) ► http://amzn.to/2sLI7ee Joby Action Arm (arm only) ► http://amzn.to/2toE0CN Joby Hand Grip (hand grip only) ► http://amzn.to/2sSe3y0 Joby Hub Adapter ► http://amzn.to/2toDJ2E 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 ► http://amzn.to/2sSagRo Pop Filter ► http://amzn.to/2sSJSHf 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 ► http://amzn.to/2sHy8HZ Silicone Cables ► http://amzn.to/2tgXf1i Adapter for Micro to Mini ► http://amzn.to/2sEhlVm Adapter for Micro to Lightning ► http://amzn.to/2sMBGbd 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. * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * Disclaimer: Links I have posted to Amazon.com are affiliate links.
