Part 107 Drone Op Specialist
Cam Op/Editor
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.

Recreated an old shot I did a few years ago with a mini 3 pro. This time with the mavic 4 pro which is a totally different beast (me too)

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)!🎉

Instagram Hikaye Görüntüleyici, Instagram hikayelerini, videoları, fotoğrafları veya IGTV'yi gizlice izleyip kaydetmenizi sağlayan basit bir araçtır. Bu hizmetle, içerikleri indirip istediğiniz zaman çevrimdışı olarak keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. Instagram'da daha sonra görmek istediğiniz bir şey bulduysanız veya anonim kalmak isterseniz, bizim Görüntüleyicimiz sizin için mükemmeldir. Anonstories, kimliğinizi gizli tutmak için mükemmel bir çözüm sunar. Instagram, Hikaye özelliğini Ağustos 2023'te başlatmış ve bu format, etkileşimi yüksek ve zaman sınırlı olduğu için hızla diğer platformlar tarafından benimsenmiştir. Hikayeler, kullanıcıların hızlı güncellemeler paylaşmasını sağlar; fotoğraflar, videolar veya selfie'ler, metin, emojiler veya filtrelerle zenginleştirilmiş ve sadece 24 saat görünür. Bu sınırlı süre, normal gönderilere göre yüksek etkileşim yaratır. Bugünlerde, Hikayeler sosyal medyada bağlantı kurmanın ve iletişim kurmanın en popüler yollarından biridir. Ancak, bir Hikaye görüntülediğinizde, yaratıcısı adınızı görüntüleyici listesinde görebilir ki bu da gizlilik endişesi yaratabilir. Peki ya Hikayeleri fark edilmeden görüntülemek isterseniz? İşte burada Anonstories devreye girer. Kimliğinizi ifşa etmeden, kamuya açık Instagram içeriğini izlemenizi sağlar. Sadece merak ettiğiniz profilin kullanıcı adını girin, araç size en son Hikayelerini gösterecektir. Anonstories Görüntüleyicisinin Özellikleri: - Anonim Tarama: Hikayeleri görüntüleyici listesine düşmeden izleyin. - Hesap Gerekmez: Instagram hesabı oluşturmadan kamuya açık içeriği görüntüleyin. - İçerik İndirme: Hikaye içeriklerini cihazınıza indirip çevrimdışı olarak kullanabilirsiniz. - Öne Çıkanlar Görüntüleme: Instagram Öne Çıkanlarına erişin, 24 saatlik süreyi aşarak da. - Yeniden Paylaşım Takibi: Kişisel profillerin Hikayeleri üzerindeki paylaşımları veya etkileşim seviyelerini takip edin. Kısıtlamalar: - Bu araç yalnızca açık hesaplarla çalışır; özel hesaplar erişilemez. Yararları: - Gizlilik Dostu: Herhangi bir Instagram içeriğini fark edilmeden izleyin. - Basit ve Kolay: Uygulama yükleme veya kayıt gerekmez. - Özel Araçlar: Instagram’ın sunmadığı şekilde içerik indirme ve yönetme.
Instagram güncellemelerini gizlice takip edin, gizliliğinizi koruyun ve anonim kalın.
