    Thanks for the great overview and advices! I agree with you 100% on the drones. I also have a DJI Mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro and haven't flewn them since I got the Hover X1, which is super practical and quick to use besides fiting in a pocket. As far as cameras, I have a Pentax K5 but also seldom use it in my trips anymore because it's a lot more practical to carry my Panasonic Z40 or Sony 100 M7 in my pocket. For "drone like" video footage I use the Insta 360 X3 and edit the video using its companion software. The advantage is that we can use it where drones aren't alowed. For tripod, I use a Platipod on a surface or strapped somewhere because it also fits in my pockets. I haven't got a gimbal yet and will take a look at the ones you mentioned. Last but not least, I also agree that cellphones came a long way and I have been using my OnePlus 9 Pro's Hasselblad camera and software much more than earlier phones. Thanks again and looking forwad to your next reviews.

    • @ZdenkaDarula

      If you will be using Freewell lenses you cannot go with small gimbal. It won’t be able to handle it… Hohem or Zhiyun smooth 5S at least

    love your channel...I got the iphone 15 pro max and I will use it for social media content and for some Broll...all I need for that...for anything else I have a Sony FX30 (but I will save to get a FX3 and have a mighty Sony duo!)- I recently got a Insta 360 flow gimbal and I like it because it's portable and simple to use- for real paid gigs I have a beast! the Ronin S...oh yeah...No need to upgrade yet...next year I may get a new drone but the truth is we can't fly it in every paid gig (I'm in Toronto)...my original Mini is ok for quick shots and it still flies..The Hover floating camera is interesting...not for high altitude shots (I never fly my drones too high or too far anyway)- the video quality is so so I guess.
    I think the almost perfect vacation companion to the iphone 15 pro max would be a Insta 360 camera (I have the One Rs-not the 1") but I wish the reframed 16x9 video in HD was a little better. I never use the footage in 360...
    your studio lighting is nice...which light do you use? Thanks for the video
