Experiences – Life – Inspiration 🇨🇭🇯🇵

Lately, I’ve been shifting from flying FPV to exploring cinematic aerial videography.

Why?

Because I had this idea of filming with a 360º camera—specifically, the DJI Osmo 360—from the same brand I use for my drones and other gear.

It all works like a charm because the technology and user interface are the same. It’s like working within one ecosystem—like using an iPhone with a MacBook Air. Everything connects seamlessly without too much hassle.

But this isn’t really about brand convenience.

It’s about learning and stacking different creative skills—each one complementing the other—to produce something new and valuable.

FPV flying is pure fun for me. But I’ve realized that most YouTube viewers aren’t really watching for how many tricks I can pull off in three minutes. They’re drawn to excitement, beauty, and storytelling—things like breathtaking landscapes and travel experiences. That’s where cinematic aerial videography comes in.

And lately, I’ve discovered something else viewers love: 360º video. It lets them sit in the pilot’s seat—from the comfort of their living room or wherever they are.

Maybe a demonstration will explain it better. Here’s my latest 360º video from when I flew my FPV drone with a 360º camera mounted on it at the summit of Mount Dodogamine in Gifu.
