Great video, thank you so much! I missed the 'wing style' shot. Not possible on all drones but my Fimi x8 2020 has a flight mode that simulates a fixed wings plane and that's adding cool dynamics....

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot and absolutely. The rise of FPV drones also gave us that look more prevalently.

I know it can be cheesy if exaggerated or used too often but i like to do zoom pull sometimes. Using the wheel to slowly pull while closing in. Can add some drama.

[@vietchuphotography2638]

Awesome work, amazing footage...and thank you for the tips! For shots in or around a city like Chicago, how do you get permissions to fly your drone? Does having an FAA 107 certification give you more access to "restricted" airspace? I do appreciate any additional tips in regards to flying in/above a city and thank you in advance.
