Mine has evolved over the years, from clunky DSLRs and tangled cords to something leaner, lighter, and infinitely more capable. ⚙️ In 2025, my Everyday Carry (EDC)  isn’t about hauling gear — it’s about freedom. I carry only what inspires me to capture life when it happens, not plan it. Whether I

🎒 The Ultimate Travel Camera Kit for Summer 2025 Every summer I rebuild my travel kit from scratch — not because I have to, but because it reminds me what I value most as a creator: freedom. 🌄 The freedom to pack light, move fast, and capture whatever I stumble upon without thinking about logistics or lenses. In 2025, that freedom feels complete. My travel camera kit  has finally reached the point where everything I need fits in a small backpack — compact, efficient, and po

🎬 Top 5 Cinematic Shots to Try This Summer (No Drone Needed) Summer filming always feels different — the air hums with warmth, the light lingers a little longer, and even the smallest moments seem worth capturing. 🌞 I remember setting out one July evening with just my DJI Action 5 Pro , a tiny tripod, and a cold drink in my backpack. I didn’t plan anything. I just wanted to chase that golden light and see what stories the ground could tell me. The first idea hit me as I wat

🎥 Can AI Replace Tripods, Gimbals, and Stabilizers? I still remember the first time I set up a tripod — the creak of the legs extending, the click of the head locking, the quiet satisfaction of a perfect horizon line. 🎞️ Back then, stability wasn’t a setting; it was a skill. You earned it through patience and practice. Every pan, every tilt, every movement was intentional. But now, when I film with my DJI Action 5 Pro  or Insta360 X5 , that ritual feels like something from

🤯 The AI Camera Body: Do We Even Need Sensors Anymore? I’ve been behind cameras for most of my life — from heavy DSLRs that felt like metal extensions of my hands to the tiny AI-driven bodies that now fit in my pocket. 🎥 I’ve seen light hit film, dance across glass, and spill into sensors that turned moments into memory. But lately, something feels different. I’m holding cameras that don’t just capture  light anymore — they reconstruct  it. When I first watched my Pixel 9 P

🌄 Will AI Replace Wide-Angle Lenses Too? I’ve always had a soft spot for wide shots — that sweeping, cinematic look that pulls you straight into the story. 🎥 Whether it’s the first golden light spilling across The Forks or the skyline stretching over the Red River, a wide-angle lens has always been my go-to creative companion. When I started filming years ago, those lenses felt like passports — tools that could transport a small moment into something grand. You could feel t

Mastering Manual Camera Settings for Better Content (2025 Creator’s Guide) I still remember the first time I switched my camera out of Auto and into Manual. It felt like stepping into another world — one where the light didn’t just happen; I controlled it. 🌞 Every creator eventually reaches that point where they realize that gear alone doesn’t make a cinematic image — it’s knowing how to balance light, motion, and depth. The moment I started learning ISO, shutter speed, aper

DJI Air 3 vs Mini 4 Pro (2025 Review): Which Drone Fits Your Creative Style? Every time I launch a drone, I feel that same quiet thrill — the rush of watching the world open up below me. 🎥 The way light wraps around buildings, how water glints against the horizon, how perspective transforms when you rise above it all. Over the years, I’ve flown just about everything DJI has released, but the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro have a special place in my creative kit. They’re not just drone

🎥 Is the Insta360 GO 3S the Ultimate POV Camera for Summer 2025? The first time I clipped the Insta360 GO 3S to my shirt, I almost forgot it was there. 🚲 It’s so small it feels like a memory chip disguised as a camera — a whisper of tech that quietly observes instead of commanding attention. I took it out on one of those perfect Winnipeg summer mornings when the air feels light and alive, and the sunlight shimmers like it’s in on the secret of what’s about to unfold. I star

🎥 DJI Action 6 Wishlist: What Creators Want in the Next GoPro Killer I’ve filmed with enough action cameras over the years to know when something truly changes the game — and when it just feels like another number upgrade. The DJI Action 5 Pro was one of those cameras that made me stop mid-shoot and think, “They finally did it.”  The sharpness, the stability, the flexibility — it all came together beautifully. But as much as I love the 5 Pro, there’s still that restless side

🎥 GoPro Hero 14 Rumors: What Creators Are Hoping For (and What It Needs to Win 2025) I’ve been shooting with GoPros for years — through rain, snow, trail dust, and late-night edits that never seem to end. There’s a certain nostalgia that comes with holding one; that tiny camera once felt like the purest tool of freedom. It’s the reason so many of us started filming in the first place — to capture something raw and real without overthinking the gear. But by 2025, the game has

🌞 360° Summer Adventures: Why Creators Are Turning to the Insta360 X5 for Epic Outdoor Content Summer always has this rhythm — sunlight hitting the pavement, the hum of bikes passing, the smell of lake water on a breeze that feels older than time. When I started filming with the Insta360 X5 this year, that rhythm found its match. I didn’t want another simple camera; I wanted something that could feel the motion the way I did. The X5 changed how I saw summer altogether. I mou

🚲 3-Minute Ride Through My Local Trail in Winnipeg – Captured with the DJI Action 5 Pro There’s something special about riding through a trail you know by heart. You start to feel every curve before you reach it, every patch of light before it breaks through the trees. This morning, I strapped the DJI Action 5 Pro to my handlebars and hit one of my favorite local paths in Winnipeg — a quiet, winding stretch that has become a little escape from everything else. The sun was so

Last updated: July 9, 2025 🌆 Portage & Main Crosswalk: Finally Open, and It’s Working Out Just Fine There’s something strangely emotional about walking across a place that’s been off-limits for decades. Portage & Main has always been part of Winnipeg’s identity — not just an intersection, but a landmark of stubbornness, nostalgia, and debate. I remember hearing for years that it would never reopen to pedestrians, that the wind and traffic would make it impossible. But there

Last updated: July 9, 2025 🚲 Insta360 X4 HDR Bike Ride on a Winnipeg Trail – A Summer Day Captured in 360° There’s a special kind of silence that lives in the middle of a Winnipeg summer ride — not the absence of sound, but a harmony of wind, tires, and heartbeat that feels like rhythm itself. 🌞 I set out with the Insta360 X4 mounted up front, determined to capture that exact feeling — the way sunlight flickers between the trees, the way the trail curves just enough to pull

Every time I slip a compact camera into my pocket before heading out, it feels like I’m giving myself permission to wander without pressure. There’s a certain joy in knowing that if something catches my eye — light cutting through glass downtown, the ripples of a river under a cloudy sky — I can capture it instantly without the weight of a full setup. 🌄 Compact cameras are built for those spontaneous moments when creativity strikes mid-stride. You don’t plan the shot; you fe

🎥 Time-Lapse by the Water at The Forks – DJI Action 5 Pro + ND32 + D-Log There’s something peaceful about filming time slip by — that sense of watching life move faster than you can feel it. I brought my DJI Action 5 Pro  down to the river at The Forks on a quiet summer afternoon, set it near the water’s edge, and just let the scene breathe. 🌊 The sun was high, reflections shimmered off the surface, and people moved through the frame like rhythmic brushstrokes in a living p

🎥 Leaving The Forks: Cinematic Passenger Window Shots with the DJI Pocket 3 There’s something about filming through a moving car window that always feels a little magical — like watching the world pass through a cinematic lens, where every flicker of sunlight and passing face becomes part of a story. As we pulled away from The Forks that afternoon, I couldn’t resist trying it. I took the DJI Pocket 3 , attached an ND16 filter , switched to D-Log , and started filming handhel
