I arrive to Tokyo for my 21 hour layover before flying back to San Francisco. For this layover, I stay at a capsule hotel close to Shibuya Station; but never slept a wink. Instead, I visit Ichiran Ramen for a delicious bowl of noodles; then walked around the Shiyuba district before heading to the Toyosu Fish Market to see the fish auction. I’m also lucky enough to eat a breakfast of sushi at the Michelin star, Sushi Dai. Finally, I make it back to the Shibuya area for a better look at the Shibuya Crossing/Scramble and Hachiko meeting spot; and have my last meal at the Tokyo Foodshow (Food Show), before taking the metro to the airport for my flight back home.
Come get lost with me.

CAMERA & AUDIO EQUIPMENT I USE:
Primary Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black (7 Black for this video) ►
Secondary Camera: Apple iPhone XS Max ►
Microphone: Rode VideoMicro ►
Mic Adapter: GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter ►
REASONING: It’s taken me some time to figure what I need to make the travel videos I like. I’ve not had any photography or videography training; so I’ve not gotten into higher end mirrorless or full framed cameras. I try to keep my equipment as simple as possible. 85% of the time, I film with my GoPro Hero 8 Black, and I recently began using the Rode VideoMicro for my audio, which I use to record voiceovers as well. Occasionally I use my iPhone XS Max to change things up or when an extra camera is needed.

REASONING: I enjoy using GoPro cameras. The GoPro Hero 5 Black was my first action camera and liked the ease of using it. It also helps that it’s rugged and can take a beating. I’m not too good with fragile things and lots of cameras are fragile; not to mention expensive. And those are the reasons why I began using it instead a traditional camera. Since then, GoPro cameras have have become more sophisticated and with the right setup, vlogging can be easy and fun. Also, I tend to go for extended travel and traveling light is an important factor. I currently have two GoPros, the GoPro Hero 7 Black and 8 Black; so my 7 now acts as my underwater camera.
