It took me an entire year but… I Re-built Japan’s Tiniest Electronics Shop The shops owner Koichi Shimayama had a very significant impact on my life over 15 years ago, and so when it came time for him to retire, I wanted to help Needless to say, things got out of hand

A full year in the making, the video is now up! (And probably the longest I’ve spent on any vid so far!) It took A LOT to make this possible and I have nothing but love and gratitude for everyone that pitched in and helped~ I’ve been truly overwhelmed with amazing comments 🥰

Have you ever been to a “Maid Cafe”? I’ve always wondered what would make someone choose to work at a Maid Cafe in Japan.🤔 What would that job actually look like? And so… I asked~ But sadly this story did not end well

I just pulled off one of the best flights/landings I’ve ever done!!! 🎉 ✈️ But made the mistake of recording it all on the @GoPro hero 11 … which overheated after 30 min and didn’t get the shot 😔 (again) THIS is why I always use @insta360 I’ve gone 2hrs at 5k with no issues

This is NOT sponsored in any form by the way Insta360 struggles with dynamic range (dark/bright) & usually base borderline unusable audio But oh boy is it reliable! GoPro wins in the audio and dynamic range categories, but is about as reliable as a flat tire

This thing has officially botched 3 out of 4 flight recordings I’ve tried to make with it Do not waste your money on @GoPro Or use it for anything that’s actually important to you lol
