Thx for all your help with this project. Your professionalism and flexibility are truly wonderful. I'm a big fan of the multi-axis moves, like lifting up while flying sideways and tilting down. We will definitely use this kind of bigger sweeping motion type shots more than things that feel like plates. James is an FAA certified pilot and flies here in Vegas a ton. I heard today went great. Thanks so much for the support. Super helpful intel. Thx for the hard work.
