Student Testimonials
I am very satisfied with the course! It’s not easy to design a course in such a way as to start from the basic concepts of the mechanics of the drone itself, all the way to professional tips for video editing. You completely succeeded in explaining some more complicated concepts in a very simple way. After a year of experience in operating drones, these days I dared to give up of AUTO modes using PRO mode along with ND filters for the first time. The first results are already visible. Now everything is matter of practice and experience. The good thing is that it is possible to go back to lessons that are not completely clear. Many thanks for the shared knowledge and experience!

I am only 12, and I am really into cinematography and managed to complete the course thanks to Justin’s amazing talent at teaching in ways that are really easy to understand. This course was so much fun, and my aeriel footage has taken a big leap forward! So I'd say anyone who wants to get amazing footage from your drone, do this course. I think anyone can do it. And the cool thing is you learn so much, but it is not tricky! Thanks so much Justin!
