We use several of them to help cover campus stories for our weekly Tiger Tube episodes at Valencia High School.

The DJI cameras have become a valuable part of our production toolkit and allow our students to capture high-quality footage in a variety of environments.\r\n\r\nWe also use the cameras extensively for behind-the-scenes footage of our many event and live broadcast productions. This gives our audience a chance to see what happens behind the cameras and helps our students document the real-world production experience they are gaining.\r\n\r\nThe cameras are amazing, and the image quality looks fantastic.

One of the biggest challenges in a media classroom is keeping track of shared equipment, especially cameras and camera bags that are used daily by multiple students. With the AD5X, I was able to design and print durable, clearly labeled tags for each piece of equipment. These tags have created an organized, easy-to-follow system that helps students quickly identify, use, and return materials responsibly. As a result, we've reduced lost items, improved efficiency during class time, and built a stronger sense of accountability among students.\r\n\r\nBeyond organization, this 3D printer has also expanded what students can create. Using the AD5X, we've been able to design and produce custom props for student films and still life photography projects. Instead of relying on limited classroom supplies, students can now bring their ideas to life with unique, purpose-built objects that enhance storytelling and visual composition. This has elevated both the quality of their work and their engagement in the creative process. Your support has not only helped us stay organized—it has empowered students to think creatively, problem-solve, and produce work they are truly proud of.","fullyFundedDate":1765568168490,"projectUrl":"project/film-students-in-need-of-3d-printer-for/9941207/","projectTitle":"Film Students in Need of 3d Printer for Props/ Miniatures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schiff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621626_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743628625457","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/schiff"},{"teacherId":9621626,"projectId":9545590,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in providing our Media Studies students with the Canon T7.

Many of their recent documentary projects have focused on real issues within our school and community, giving them authentic opportunities to tell important stories.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only strengthened their technical skills but also boosted their confidence as filmmakers.
