    It’s December 22nd. Are you panicking about gifts? Or worrying that your family videos will look dark and amateurish? In this final episode of 2025, I’ve got you covered. I share my last-minute "Gift Guide for Creatives," covering everything from the new Sony A7V and A7CR to the best stocking stuffers like ND filters and the DJI Mic Mini. Then, I give you a masterclass in filming cinematic Christmas memories: how to handle low light, why you MUST change your frame rate to stop lights from flickering (50Hz), and how to capture the emotion of the day without missing out on the fun yourself.

    Are you using your drone like a "flying tripod"? Simply hovering and looking around is boring. To create a cinematic video, you need movement.

I break down the 5 essential shots every pilot needs to know—including The Reveal, The Orbit, and The Reverse Reveal—and how to execute them safely. Whether you fly a Mini 3 Pro or the new Mini 5 Pro, this episode will teach you how to stop flying like a robot and start flying like a cinematographer.If you want to level up your drone skills, please subscribe and leave a rating.

I also share the £50 audio tool (DJI Mic Mini) that creates professional sound in windy conditions and the critical settings (like preventing 50Hz flicker) that most beginners miss.
