On June 1st I finally adopted Severus, she's settled really well into her new home. You can see more on her, mine and my cats Instagram accounts! ❤️ I have made an important follow up video covering the important changes in the new firmware: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGqBj69wgZC0cbQ.html Thanks to all who have donated to help the cat charity! After two days, over €1000 has been raised; this goes to the food, vet bills and the neutering program. Donations like this are so amazing! 🙂 If this review helped you, or maybe you just enjoyed it, even the smallest donation of $1 helps the island's cats. I only showed a few of them in this video but there are about 2,000 that they watch over and only about 6 volunteers, all of whom are unpaid.

5000 reviews of the drone released on KZread at the exact second of launch and all pretty much read from the same script. Philip, you are always worth the wait! Honesty, a real review, The un-official tourist ambassador for Skiathos, and cats. Purrfect.

This felt more like a documentary than a review. A really good one.

Came for a product review, stayed for the storytelling, the breathtaking imagery and the soothing narration. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Your reviews really are in a class of their own, Philip! Thoughtful, gorgeous, and in this case, surprisingly emotional. Thanks for what you do!

So many of your reviews takes us on a journey of passion and emotion. You literally make us forget what the main focus of the video is, intertwining it with what you love and the sheer devotion you have for it. We can learn a lot from you, you truly are a great film maker. I have to go to Skiathos some time, I'd love to give some of my time to the cats there.

Magnificent.

Stumbled across this review. And oh boy, what a find. I’ve watched dozens of mini 3 reviews. But this just blows the rest out of the water.

Thanks Philip for this, I truly enjoyed watching it, and I cheer that you're not desperately trying to be like most (almost all) other KZreadr attention-seekers… Edit: I just donated to the Skathos cat association, with best greetings from my own two cats who roam the Lower Austrian countryside.

I’m gonna comment before I even watch the review. While I was scrolling through mini 3 coverage on KZread I saw that your review was posted and I, as a 36 year old man, got giddy with excitement. But I didn’t watch the video. I treat your reviews and videos as precious events that I don’t want to watch because then I’ll have watched it, and I won’t get that excitement again. So tonight I’ll get everything perfect, clean the house, have a nice dinner, turn off all the lights, get in my favorite chair, enjoy this review, and be immediately disappointed that it’s over. Thank you for all the work and effort you put in to your videos.

Bless you for helping all these cats

I can tell you this "Philip" - I just know I will never be able to film like you - Original, informative and 110% like no other...... I get mesmerised watching your videos - Once again, thank you so much (( and rest in peace Rocky ))

Deeply engaging video (which is weird to say for a review), your work is really amazing Philip. The way you make them so personal but still very thorough and complete is really amazing. Thanks for your review.

Not only are you a master of your craft Philp, but more importantly you are a kind caring and beautiful human! So wonderful that you built this story around these adorable cats.

I work with large cinema drones, in more than 60 movies. Still when you have a drone review, i drop everything, make popcorn, and watch it like a little kid :-)

I can't think of any other content creator that makes their videos as engaging, informative and entertaining as yours. Always visually stunning and professionally produced, I can easily watch an entire Philip Bloom video without once thinking about time or feeling my thoughts drift away from the video itself. And as someone who also loves cats, I'm always happy to see them appear throughout your videos. I cannot think of a better channel to be subscribed to. Thank you, sir.

A beautiful story, with idyllic cinematography. Your work and effort is notable and of course the review. I think this was quite a unique journey for most if not all viewers. Many congratulations and thank you.

A heart of gold and a review that will last the ages. Just fantastic Phillip. Thank you for all that you do.

I love that you love these cats. I am sorry for your loss. I ordered a mini 3. Can’t wait for it to come. You got my sub. Thanks

Brilliant review as always Philip, I so admire how you convey your emotions about your special place and special friends, its absolutely emotionally heart wrenching to watch... blimey, and must be almost impossible to keep hearing whilst editing for you.

You have a big heart sir, and I love what you do for these beautiful cats 🐈. Thank you a million times x

It would be unfair to just write-off all the other reviews but really, why spend an hour watching numerous drone videos that all give the same basic information, when we can watch your reviews that are full of in-depth unbiased information, which is what a review should be of-course. Filled with beautiful imagery, a touch of humour and storyline that even makes the sponsor section worth watching and the heart felt, tear jerking plight of the stray cats of Skiathos. Thank you so much for all your time you spent making this Philip.

I remembered, sobbed, & learned. Thank you.

Thanks for keeping on pushing for a proper Tripod mode and adjustable levels of sharpening. I'm still on a Mavic 2 Zoom and I see no point in upgrading when I'll lose great features on a new drone. Air 2S and Mini 3 Pro seem awesome, and both tripod mode and adjustable sharpening would be just a software upgrade. Very annoying that they haven't brought them back!

Phillip, I am a long time subscriber of your channel so I am aware of your unique way to tell a story. This video of the DJI Mini 3 Pro has encompassed more about the camera than any of the other reviews. Of course your photography knowledge is something I really appreciate. The hard core facts. Thank you. 10 Bit is now a reality,

Seeing an extremely helpful and in depth review and also watching my beautiful island like that nearly brought tears in my eyes!

Everything about this review is so different - in the most positive way! Very special and a piece of art itself. Thank you and yes, please bring back tripod mode, DJI!!

I really believe if you just try to tell a good story - no matter the subject - you transcend content and it becomes filmmaking. Art, rather. Everyone seems to have forgotten this but Phillip Bloom who hasn't changed his style with every sensory assaulting, fast cut, jazz hands presentation trend. He has just gotten better at what he does best. Now he is in a blue ocean, Noone can do reviews like this - it would take to long to catch up or even imitate. It would look silly, forced even. If Peter has taught me anything since I first saw his 1dc and Ursa Mini 4.6k vids - have faith in your craft and be true to your individual voice. The world will come to their senses eventually. It's always been about good storytelling.

Have only just found this Channel, what a delight. Cats & Cameras a perfect combination, plus an excellent review.

Truly fantastic video. You keep redefining the idea of what reviews can do, and it's a great thing to witness.

I've never seen a 'review' like this . . . a very odd feeling to be emotionally moved by this. You are a great storyteller.

I'm flabbergasted by the quality of your review and content. Very well executed! You clearly deserve a reward from all of us, and especially from DJI for making this master piece of a review. Thanks for making my week Philip! P.S. I am a cat lover :)

Never anticipated tearing up to a drone review video. Beautiful.

It really feels like I am watching a documentary! Stunning film! I came here for the drone, but stayed for the cats.

They really appear to be fantastic engineers and designers, who don't seem to use the drones themselves creatively. That's the impression they give off with their dismissive comments. My biggest gripe is their failure to understand that people want pro control and customisation in a drone costing thousands of dollars, they only seem to care about the amateurs with lots of money. And so, I hold onto my Mavic 2 a little longer and await some firmware fixes for the 3. I really would like that bigger battery life, what a shame. Great review as always, good to sit down with a coffee through quarantine and see some beautiful shots from where I'd rather be!

Love all the shots of the kitties makin' biscuits on the beach! Fantastic review!

Always love to hear what you have to say with your long detailed reviews. keep up the good work ! :D

Once again Philip making most other youtubers' videos dull and uninformative! My Air 2 unfortunately met a sorry end while trying to film for the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (entirely my fault, flying with low battery in gale force winds was idiotic to say the least!). Nice to see the Mini 3 is a great bit of kit, will be picking up an Air 2S though due to the 10 bit dlog, larger size and "real" 20mp photos. Hope the new rc is available to buy separately soon, would make my life so much easier!!!!
