Insta360 X4 vs X5 Review: Which 360° Camera Is the Best for Creators? I still remember the first time I took the Insta360 X4 out on a cold Winnipeg morning. The sun was low, that soft winter haze was drifting over the river, and the icy air stung a little as I walked toward the trail. 🎥❄️ Back then, the X4 felt like something special — that big bright screen lighting up in the cold, the 8K 360° footage wrapping around me like the whole world was finally inside the camera.

DJI Mic 2 Review: Is It the Best Wireless Microphone for Creators in 2025? The first time I held the DJI Mic 2 in my hands, I remember thinking, finally… a mic system that doesn’t feel like a chore.  🎤✨ I’d been through enough wireless mics over the years to know how frustrating bad audio can be — hollow voices, wind rumble, weird interference, battery anxiety — and honestly, nothing kills a good shot faster than rough sound.

Gimli Winterfest 2025: A Magical Celebration on Ice 🎉 Gimli Winterfest 2025: A Magical Celebration on Ice There’s something about Gimli in February that hits me differently every time — maybe it’s the way the cold comes in off Lake Winnipeg like a slow breath, or maybe it’s the way the whole town seems to glow when Winterfest rolls around. ❄️✨ I’ve gone to enough winter events to know that most of them feel like quick stops, little pop-ups, here and gone.

5 Common Mistakes to Avoid with the DJI Pocket 3 (Based on Real-World Footage) I didn’t expect to learn so much from what was supposed to be a simple day of filming — just me, the DJI Pocket 3, my car, and a quick stop in a small local shop. 🎥🚗 But the thing about creating is that the tiny mistakes become the biggest teachers, especially when you watch the footage back later and realize, Yep… that one was on me.  The Pocket 3 is an incredible little camera — honestly one of

DJI Osmo Action 5 vs Insta360 X4: Which Action Camera is Right for You? I’ve filmed with enough action cameras over the years to know that choosing the right one isn’t really about specs — it’s about personality. It’s about how a camera feels in your hand when you’re out in the world, moving, breathing, reacting. That’s the thing that always hits me when I compare the DJI Osmo Action 5 and the Insta360 X4. They’re both incredible, but they’re built for completely different cr

Capturing a Stunning Sunrise with the DJI Action 5 Time-Lapse Mode Capturing a Stunning Sunrise with the DJI Action 5 Time-Lapse Mode There’s something special about waking up before the world does — that quiet stretch of time when the sky is still half-asleep and everything feels softer, calmer, almost untouched. 🌅✨ The morning I decided to film a sunrise time-lapse with the DJI Action 5, the air had that cool stillness to it, the kind that settles over your skin like a rem

By Gear 4 Greatness 🎬 Welcome to Gear for Greatness – Your Journey as a Creator Starts Here There’s something wild about the moment you realize you want to create. It doesn’t come as a big announcement — it usually sneaks in during an ordinary moment. Maybe you’re watching a sunrise through a fogged-up window, maybe you’re filming your cat playing with a string, or maybe you’re standing somewhere quiet thinking, I wish people could see what I’m seeing right now.  That little

By Gear for Greatness 🌍 Tiny Planet Photography on a Walking Bridge with the Insta360 X4 There’s something almost childlike about the first time you twist a 360° shot into a Tiny Planet. It feels like you’re bending reality in your hands — like the whole world suddenly curls up into this floating marble you can hold, reshape, and spin.

🌉 Exploring Provencher Bridge, Winnipeg: A 360-Degree Tour with Insta360 X4 Walking across the Provencher Bridge with the Insta360 X4 in my hand felt like seeing Winnipeg from a whole new angle. 🌉✨ I’ve crossed this bridge dozens of times — sometimes on my bike, sometimes just out for air — but filming it in 360 makes you slow down and notice details you normally miss. The curve of the suspension cables. The cold breath of the Red River moving beneath. The way the skyline s

Lake on the Mountain: A Mysterious Natural Wonder in Prince Edward County The first time I stood at Lake on the Mountain, it didn’t feel real. 🌄✨ It almost felt like the landscape was playing a trick on me — this perfectly still lake sitting high above the Bay of Quinte, quiet and suspended in its own little world. I remember walking toward the water with the DJI Pocket 3 in my hand, and the moment the trees opened up, I stopped. You can feel something here… something old, s

📌 Winnipeg Waterways Boat Tour: A 360° River Adventure I’ve always believed that Winnipeg reveals its real personality when you’re drifting along the rivers, and the day I took the Insta360 X4 out on the boat felt like the perfect moment to prove that to myself. There’s something calming about pushing away from the dock at The Forks, knowing that people have been coming to that same meeting place for over 6,000 years, using the Red and Assiniboine Rivers as their roads long
