As someone who has been flying a drone for years, this is the first video I've seen that is actually not just good, but excellent. I like the names you gave the shots, and it will help me when explaining to newer friends about certain movements.
Hi Tom, i am beginner level of drone skills. i used mini 1 for a while and now i have air 2. i watched many videos about drone shots but your content is more clear than others. many thanks for that. i have one question, what is the difference between unveiling and crane shot? with my regards.
This is by far one of the best tutorial videos on here. Well narrated, filmed and informative. Thank you! Oh, and great shots of Israel! You made my day!
I just want to say thank you for all of your videos like this. You have really helped me improve my shots. I haven't had my drone long but your videos have definitely brought my filming skills a long way since starting.
I've been flying for about 6 months and have learned so much from your videos (which I began watching before I purchased). This video was awesome, and gives me some new ideas on how to make my videos look more professional. Thanks so much for all the time you put into this!!!
Thanks SO much for this. Just starting out on RUclips and am hoping to start using my Mavic Pro in some of my videos. This was really helpful and you have a great way of explaining things to camera. All the best.
Very new to drone flying, been a very keen amature photographer for many years,, sold my Yuncee Breeze and I'm now waiting for delivery of my DJI Spark,, great video
Tom, this is so well done. Thank you for taking your valuable time to teach us these techniques. This was a great gift. When I look up and see that 150 people have given you a thumbs down, I wonder what world they are living in. The 7500 people who appreciate you are the ones who have their heads on straight. I am subscribing!
This video was my benchmark for creating my videos from very beginning thank u for existing on this planet :-)

Thank you Tom ! We are enjoining your classes ! A hug from Brasilian people! You make the task of flying seem very easy. It's a new world to me. Thank you very much endeed !
Though I have already used most of these techniques both with a standard camera and with my dji P3S I appreciate the reminder and knowing I'm not alone with thinking these are great techniques. Thanks TTT!
Wow! I have just bought the Mavis Pro and watched a ton of clips from all different ones. Some I have subscribed too. When I started watching this I thought, "'holly hell, he's on fast Forward"! I'm so pleased I kept watching...your videos and instruction are very helpful and your explanations clear. You too are now on my list, and I feel I will be visiting you a lot more. I particularly like that you also do post production videos etc too. Thank you!
Very impressive and professional! I'm subscribing. I'm a 54 year old woman who loves making videos just for fun and just got the DJI Spark. I need all the help I can get. Thank you!
This was a solid video Tom. Been looking for a good comprehensive collection of shots to apply with the drone. Just been applying what I know about cinematography and finding out shots by accident. Thank you so much for this video Tom.
I got my DJI Mavic Mini about a month ago, only been out a few times because of bad weather but am trying my best. This is an excellent video, fantastic Tips 👏 😀 👌
I’m not a serious drone flyer (all I’ve ever used is a Hubsan X4 - essentially a toy - but I found this video to be very fascinating. Thank you. When I can afford to, I’ll get more into drone flying.
Great video, Tom. It features 2 of my favorite places. Toronto, where I live, and Israel, where I've been and am going to again later this year. Thanks for the great tips.
Hey Tom, I own DJI P4 and I love watching your videos. Tutorials are really nice and smooth and it all goes step-by-step, so thumbs up and keep up with great work! Safe flying from croatia👋
Great video again Tom. I have learned a lot from your video's, tutorials, and product reviews. All have been great and given me some really good ideas that I try and use when flying. Thanks for posting these!
Hi Tom. I found you through suggested videos. First, your videos are amazing, the technique...I just made a RUclips channel, so I'm def doing my research. Thanks for all your help! Please keep it up. Just subbed!
Hi Tom! It's Joe from Scottsdale Arizona. USA. I really enjoy your videos. I have a DJI phantom 3 pro and have done over 400 short videos or photos but I have not made one short movie or film. Why? because i don't know how to edit. Could you make a video showing a very basic editing process and what software you recommend? I have imovie and used it a few years ago and liked it, but it's changed. Could you do a how to edit for the First timer!! super simple? I think that would go great with your other videos. Thanks! Joe
Hi Joe, We are originally from Scottsdale (Carefree actually) and are usually in town a couple of times per year with our Inspire 1 V2.

I live in the San Diego area but I'm in North Phoenix far north at least 7 times a year. I would love to meet up. Let me know the next time you are going to be in town. ( I love Carefree! ) and I'll drive over and meet you. I grew up there so all my friends and family are there. I've only been in California about 4 months. Thanks so much for the offer! Joe
Joe Glenn , Hi I Just saw your comment ! Did you Ever get a reply on how to Edit ? I've Never done it Either ! Been watching So many reviews, and would Love to Learn how the Process works ! Trying Every conceivable thing I can think of to buy my First Good Drone ! I would give up Everything I Own/have to get a Mavic Pro or the P4 Pro ! It's my Lifetime quest ! Tired of flying the $50.00 toys ! X5C'S and my X8C ! There are So many Levels to Explore, and Learn ! I Definitely Thirst for Knowledge ! Hope you have Learned some new things, Cheers ....
Fantastic shots ! would you please tell us the gear u used ? I'm especially curious about the shorter depth-of field shots... maybe INspire 1 with X5 camera ? thanks

It's the difference between being a guy with a drone, and a cinematographer who happens to have a drone. Tom's my go-to for all drone stuff.
Harry Goodwin agree completely. Well worth watching!
I agree
Thank you Tom for a very helpful, no-nonsense tutorial. It must take a lot of time putting these together and I appreciate you helping us like this.
One of the BEST videos so far around! Thumbs up, mate!

Clearly explained with great footage of Israel. Winning combo.
After all, camera man is more important than the drone. Thank you so much

This is super helpful! It's so fun to film with drones, but it can be so tough to make the footage fit "organically" in a project.
Tom, you are the doyen of all matters tech relating to drones :)
