Both Aether Films and @lightcraft.tv have long been supporters and admirers of @DJIglobal and their product ecosystem, especially with their approach to @DJIpro. When the Inspire 3 dropped, we knew it would be a game changer for capturing certain shots, and there was no better way to display the ingenuity of our crew and the system than to document the process.

When a project came our way that matched the need for the Inspire 3, we worked alongside DJI to produce something special. We knew this job would have the perfect challenges for the I3, and allow us to reveal the technical specs and features that have quickly made this drone an essential tool in the Lightcraft arsenal.

In a rare screen time debut from the Aether Films and @lightcraft.tv teams, this short saw us pivoting roles from behind the camera to in front of it. And while we’re typically wrapped up with what’s going on behind the scenes, it’s great to share these seldom seen moments that capture the magic of our shoots!

We look forward to bringing the Inspire 3 out on many more shoots for both Aether Films and Lightcraft!
