CAMERA & AUDIO EQUIPMENT I USE:
Camera: Sony RX100 M3 ►
Voiceover Mic: Samson Go Mic ►
In-Field Mic: Zoom H1 ►
Tripod: Manfrotto Pixi ►
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) ►
Joby Action Arm (arm only) ►
Joby Hand Grip (hand grip only) ►
Joby Hub Adapter ►
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 ►
Pop Filter ►
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 ►
Silicone Cables ►
Adapter for Micro to Mini ►
Adapter for Micro to Lightning ►
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.

SoloTravelBlog Madurai is famous for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, you must have tried famous Madurai Kari dosai.
Crush the idly into the sambar and then eat. That’s how you are supposed to eat idly sambar.
That dosa is so sorry looking that real dosas would discriminate it just because…
I would suggest you some Ghee(clarified butter) Roast which is an extra crispy dosa, and some Masala Dosa.
Btw you ate the pongal as it was meant to be. Awesome work.
And I love your commentary!!!!
Great video!!
In Madurai, you should try Jigarthanda
See my other videos. I did try it
I wish more foreigners visit south india. North and south india are so different, in fact each state in india has a charm of its own. The world media image is mostly about north india which is a little saddening.
インドの忍者 yah true, will be nice to see more of the south.. check out this video https://youtu.be/AU5xSz_2c3A
about the south.. cheers
1. pongal – combination of moong dal/ rice/ ginger/ pepper/ cumi / ghee/ cashews/ curry leaves
2. coconut chutney – coconut/ roasted channa dal/ green chillies
3. sambar – toor dal/ vegetables/ spices
4. vada ( donut) – urad dal deep fried
5. kesari – rava / sugar/ food colour/ cashew nuts/ raisins
$2.10?? holy hell man. for a meal looking that good, i would easily cough up 10 times as much had they asked.
he got ripped of
You perfectly pronounced Pongal. I am so proud 😉
Is that so? Damn, I’m feeling borderline aroused about that
This got me craving for indian dish to be honest
Oh man, all of that looks tasty.
Also dem new rating cows are snazzy and zazzy.
Almost spiritual
Man, India really likes their chutneys. Before this, I thought I knew quite a lot of Indian foods, but now I realise I know very little. Pretty much all I know is the flatbreads and tandoori chicken.
Shortruler also u can find more old and majestic temples here!
Shortruler this is South part of Indian state Tamilnadu. if u come here am damn sure u will like it. every food here is more traditional and authentic.
Shortruler all that is North Indian food, in fact almost all of what Westerns consider Indian food is basically North Indian cuisine
dosa will be crunchy when hot ..you took too long to eat it. that’s why its soft
It’s great hearing about food I’ve never heard of before. I’m a fan of spice n’ rice so I gotta say this episode fired me up bby.
A little disappointed you didn’t make the scale “holy cows”
I prefer you to try ‘pazhaiya sadham’ with onions and chilly. It’s my favorite breakfast and it gives me enough calories for a day.
Vegetarian food!!! Yay!!!
Been eager to see more India, food especially. Here’s to kicking off the new food tour babycakes!
Thanks sweetie buns. This comment hits home
My parents are from this area and whenever I visit India I have to say the Modern Restaurant in Madurai is one of the BEST tastiest restaurants ever if you ever get the chance to go back I recommend this place. They have also been interviewed by national geographic once and the locals there are super generous and nice!
Do u also travel outskirts of that state for some Nature arousal?
If u have any subscriber there get invited and eat home food. I am in Mumbai.. it’s way too long for me sweetbuns
dickscendence is my new favourite word
+reverend900 I’m going to travel country-wide, baby
+SoloTravelBlog Are you going to travel only in Tamil Nadu? Please share and awesome vid as always
