Looking back on this year, I've had the pleasure of meeting a ton of amazingly talented people and I am proud and grateful to have been trusted to join their crews. Here's my Aerial Cam Op Showreel featuring my pick of best shots from (mostly) 2025.

Legends teach us. But they don’t define us. Greatness shows up the moment you stop imitating and start owning who you are. Be You.

We decided to make a Nike Spec Ad for fun and it turned out incredible. Thank you to the whole squad who helped bring my vision for this video to life. Without them, it wouldn’t have turned out even half as good.

A few of my selects from last weekend at the Rocky Run in Philly. Crowds were immense!

The DJI 04 really shone here and i was able to keep the drone small and light and still have the quality of an action cam 📸

Some of my favourite shots from the @clubfr opener. It might not be as exciting as the other drones I fly, but you cannot go wrong with wide angle aerials using the Mavic 4 Pro. Super impressed with the active tracking, which kept up with these drift cars no problem.

Slowly ticking things off the bucket list. The scale of the Grand Canyon was difficult to really capture and the weather rarely cooperated with us (rain, hail, snow) but either way it was incredible just being there. Also featured are shots from some of the many random roadsides we stopped at on the way to Flagstaff, and also one from Sedona. Did not spend enough time in either place, but I think we’ll be back!

What a wild little trip we managed to squeeze in between weddings and before Sam’s birthday! We learned so much on this trip and had an absolute blast; despite getting caught in a little snow storm on a mountain in Flagstaff and getting soaked to the bone. Couldn’t have spent this time with a better partner!
I hope closing out 36 in this way is something you’ll always look back on fondly 🧡
PS This is also a PSA to wish Sam a happy birthday (it’s tomorrow)!🎉

Guarda le Storie di Instagram in Segreto

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
