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: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYY-c7rolG8

► Check out the next Buckwild Adventure: http://bit.ly/1hKazny Check out these crazy Japanese local mascots called Yuru-chara, AKA "gotochi characters"... basically these badboys are mascots for local cities and regions in Japan. I caught this buckwild procession when I went to a festival in Narita, Japan and I could immediately see how my life had hitherto been incomplete. If only my hometown in America could have something like these crazy Japanese characters. F-in things are seriously awesome to say the least.
