🚴 Riding in Slow Motion with the DJI Pocket 3 Chest Mount
🚴 Riding in Slow Motion with the DJI Pocket 3 Chest Mount There’s something about riding a bike that resets me. The rhythm of the pedals, the rush of air against my face, the sound of tires rolling over pavement — it’s meditative. But when I started filming my rides, I realized the camera didn’t always capture that feeling. It was fast, flat, and missing that sense of flow. Then I tried mounting the DJI Pocket 3 to my chest and switching to slow motion — and everything chan

🌤️ DJI Action 5 Pro Time-lapse Watch daylight transform into art — clouds racing There’s something special about watching a day unfold through a lens — especially when you’re the one behind it. I remember setting up my DJI Action 5 Pro downtown near the Legislative Building, facing the Golden Boy as sunlight crept across the sky. The air had that perfect early-spring clarity — a mix of warmth and breeze — the kind that makes you want to slow down and just observe . I had m

How to Film Stunning Nightscapes with Action Cameras This Fall
🌌 How to Film Stunning Nightscapes with Action Cameras This Fall Fall nights have this cinematic pull — that mix of cool air, glowing skylines, and a sky that feels deeper than in any other season. 🍂 I’ve spent countless nights chasing that balance between light and darkness — where the world slows down and the city hums quietly beneath the stars. Whether I’m filming the skyline from The Forks or watching mist roll over the river, there’s a moment each night when everything

🍁 Fall Drone Adventures: Capturing Colors Before They Fade Every fall, I feel that same creative rush — that race against time before the trees turn bare. When the air cools and the mornings start misting over, I grab my drones, pack my ND filters, and head out before sunrise. It’s not just about getting footage anymore — it’s about chasing something fleeting. Every flight feels like a small mission to preserve the season before it slips away.

📸 Mirrorless Showdown: Budget vs High-End — What’s Worth the Price?
📸 Mirrorless Showdown: Budget vs High-End — What’s Worth the Price? Over the years, I’ve worked with everything from entry-level mirrorless bodies to high-end flagships, and one thing I’ve learned is this — price doesn’t automatically equal creativity. It’s about how a camera fits your rhythm, your workflow, and your shooting style. I’ve used all three tiers — budget, mid-range, and pro — and each one taught me something different about what I actually need as a creator. 💰

I’ve spent months filming with the X4 , and just recently stepped up to the X5 , taking it through my regular workflow: night shoots, city walks, and those long autumn rides where the light constantly shifts. Right away, I noticed something — the X5 doesn’t just look better on paper; it feels better

🍁 DJI Mini 5 Pro First Flights: Capturing Fall Colours Like a Pro The first time I took the DJI Mini 5 Pro out over the Red River this fall, I knew it was going to be special. The air was crisp, the trees were glowing gold and red, and that soft evening light stretched across the landscape like a painting. Moments like that are why I fly — because from above, fall in Canada looks alive. Flying the Mini 5 Pro felt effortless. Even in the cooler air, it handled beautifully —

I figured it would be a minor tweak or two, maybe better obstacle avoidance and a touch more resolution. But the first time I took it up into the fall sky, that thought vanished instantly. The colours, the clarity, and the control felt like stepping into another level of drone filmmaking. I’ve flo

I’ve flown everything from the Mini 2 to the Mini 4 Pro, but when the DJI Mini 5 Pro landed, I could feel right away that this one was built differently. It’s compact, cinematic, and smarter than anything DJI has put in the sub-250g class before. For a while, it felt like déjà vu — Canadians were flying while American creators were still waiting

What you need is the right combination of camera and accessories that work together like a well-balanced team. Over time, I’ve built and tested these kits myself — setups that stay under $1,000 but still deliver cinematic results. Whether you’re shooting action, travel, vlogs, or ful

Drone vs. 360 Camera in 2025: Which One Do You Really Need for Travel? I’ve packed both in my bag more times than I can count — a drone for those sweeping aerials, and a 360 camera for everything spontaneous that happens on the ground. But when I travel light, I can’t take both. So I’ve had to figure out, through trial and error, which one actually earns its spot in my kit. Here’s how I see it after years of flying, filming, and capturing the world from every angle possible.
