Live stream and equipment sale!
Added 2021-08-27 05:17:32 +0000 UTCGood afternoon Patrons!
I hope that this post finds all of you well. I just wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow, Friday August 28, I'll be doing a Patreon exclusive livestream for all $5 and $10 Patrons from 2:00 pm Japan time. I'll be sure to post again on Patreon once we're live—hope to see all of you there!
I also wanted to let everyone know that I'm currently trying to sell a fair bit of equipment due to some changes in shooting style and general work flow. If anyone is interested in any of the following, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below!
1. Camera, lens, and other accessories:
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Voigtlander 10.5mm F0.95 lens
Panasonic Lumix G II 14mm F2.5 lens
SanDisk Extreme Pro 170 MB/s 128 GB SD card
Manfrotto Desktop Tripod
Total price for all of the above: 205,000 yen, or $1860 including shipping within Japan.
This is a great all in one package for anyone aspiring to create professional looking video. For those interested in quality, I shot this video with these items (note that the focus was a bit off—on the books behind me, rather than myself). Please note that the audio from this video is from a stand alone mic rather than in camera, though the camera has great audio connections and fairly decent built-in mics.
2. iPad Pro and accessories: (Update: iPad and accessories already sold!)
iPad Pro 12.9 inch 4th generation with 128 GB Wifi model
iPad Pro 12.9 inch 4th generation Smart Folio Black
Apple Pencil Second Generation
iPad Pro 12.9 inch 4th generation Magic Keyboard U.S. English Black
I bought the iPad all related accessories for a total of 168,750 yen, or approximately $1530. I'm selling all of these for 145,000 yen, or $1315 including shipping within Japan. The iPad and Apple Pencil are essentially in perfect condition, with no visible scratches or imperfections. I did always have the iPad in one of the two cases, however, so both the Smart Folio and the Magic Keyboard have just a bit of wear (though both work perfectly).
If anyone is at all interested in these items, please let me know! If no one expresses interest, I'll be listing these things on Twitter in approximately one week at a slightly higher price.
That's all for today, hope to see everyone tomorrow!

I need to be able to pound out e-mails extremely fast as well as video edit with Final Cut Pro on the go, so I ended up buying a MacBook air, and that's been much better for all the tasks I was previously doing with the iPad, hence the sale. Personally I would buy a 11"—I went with the 12.9" and it was fairly bigger than I was expecting. Cheers!

2021-08-28 01:40:07 +0000 UTCHi Dogen, I saw this post *just* as I was about to buy the iPad Pro (5th gen) myself. I'm wondering if you could briefly share any comments about your reasons for changing from it (as I'm trying to decide between the 11" and 12.9") Thanks in advance!

2021-08-27 13:46:19 +0000 UTCHi Strea! Thank you for your interest. That’s absolutely correct, you’ll be fine with just wifi and won’t need to pay any kind of monthly fee. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

2021-08-27 08:16:41 +0000 UTCHi Dogen! I'm in Japan and I'm interested in your iPad bundle for illustration purposes. At the risk of sounding like a tech noob (I sort of am with Apple products), I could do just fine with the iPad with wifi, right? If I have no need for data, I don't need to sell yet another portion of my soul to SoftBank, right? :'D I just really wanna try Procreate.
