The body is made from aluminum and steel. The Jot is very well made, this is no cheaply thrown together product. You can see where you’re marking and can draw without those creativity hindering little blind spots. The Jot brings a true Wacom Cintiq feel to the iPad. Illustration, concept art and storyboards are now actually possible to do on a mobile platform such as the iPad using a precision stylus such as the Jot and a terrific digital art application such as Procreate from Savage Interactive. It’s tip is extremely sensitive and I highly recommend it for effortless iDoodling, but when it comes to fine line work, accurate detail, nothing on the market can compete with the Jot. There are other stylus which work well- the best of them is the 3M Smart Pen. Provided that the app’s input point doesn’t have an offset, the lines you create seem to come right from the point of the stylus. The sensitivity is fantastic and the small, clear disk seems to vanish while you’re using it. The tip is not your normal rubber or foam, instead it employs a clear plastic disk which pivots on a small metal ball which is the actual tip of the pen. The stylus works very well and makes sketching, painting and writing on the iPad very easy and brings a more effortless and natural feel. These guys at Adonit, really took the time to do it right. The stylus looks very similar to diagrams submitted by her majesty Apple herself. The Jot Stylus by Adonit was not only a successful Kickstarter project, it was a majorly successful one pulling in droves of excited would be customers, I was among those droves. With regards to styluses for the iPad and capacitive screens in general- the bar has been raised. It’s a fine tip stylus with a brush cursor built around the tip. If you think about the Jot as not having a disc as a tip but rather a small, metal tip- then the disc just becomes the brush cursor. On the right is the Adonit Jot on the iPad. I took these at work while on my lunch break. It’s not to easy or fun to do any kind of precision work with what boils down to a dull crayon.Įnter the Adonit Jot stylus. Honestly, I haven’t been drawing or painting on it much at all in that I’ve been working so much but when I have, it’s really been sort of a faking my way with it. Until now, I’ve been using various, normal stubby, rubber-tipped capacitive styluses with my iPad.
I want to know that I can work at the airport, on a set, in a tree, on a train, in my bed, on the pot… With a Cintiq from Wacom you can do some pretty amazing work but you can’t just pick it up and take it with you.
#PENGO BRUSH PEN STYLUS PROFESSIONAL#
This design is far from it- or is it?Īs a working, professional (whatever that really means) storyboard and concept artist, the thing I’m looking for, ideally, is a mobile Cintiq. When you think of a pen, you think of a point or something as close to that as possible. I’ve heard a couple skeptical opinions on the clear disc and agree that at first it is a little odd. Fresh out of the gate Adonit are still making good with their Kickstarter backer’s orders before attending to normal buyers. If you like what you see and want to be a part of something cool and very potentially rewarding join me and become a backer! Head over to the Zeppelin’s Kickstarter page and check it out. This dream stylus needs backers to become a reality… otherwise it remains a dream. There is a week left for the Zeppelin to meet its funding goals. The Zeppelin really does appear to have a very solid design. The Jot does have its problems though and there is definitely room for improvement. The Zeppelin is a Kickstarter project, just like the Jot, which is now a very successful and workable stylus for touch screen devices. This one is currently just a dream, a dream stylus being dreamed of by many artists and note takers who are hungry for a pen input device which would let them use their iPad the way we’ve all been imagining, hoping… dreaming. Let me introduce you to the Zeppelin Stylus. The Jot stylus seems to have raised the bar when it comes to precision and responsiveness but can it be raised even more? The quality and function seem to be getting better and better. There are many different styluses out there, many of which are pretty good.
