For the recent Tested Live Show at the Castro Theater, I put together a short behind-the-scenes cut from the Good Morning America trip to Iceland (live broadcast from the Holuhraun volcano eruption using DJI Inspire 1 quadcopters). All of this footage was shot with a Sony RX100 II, and has been just sitting on my ...

It looks so sci-fi fake! This was from a rehearsal flight the day before the broadcast.‪

Flying Inspire 1 into Iceland’s volcano with Good Morning America

We took meteorologist Ginger Zee on a tour of the inside of the erupting volcano at Holuhraun (in the Bardarbunga volcanic system in Iceland) using two Inspire 1 quadcopters, broadcasting ...

Behind-the-scenes during the ABC / Good Morning America shoot. We used Android devices (Sony Experia Z2, in this picture) to run the DJI Pilot app because iOS devices do not tolerate cold environments (strangely, they complain about being too hot!). Those of you who are interested in aerial UAV stuff can look at the telemetry ...

Discovery Canada has released a short mini-documentary about our first DJI Feat, which features me flying Phantoms into the volcanic eruption at Bardarbunga / Holuhraun in Iceland. It is really well done, and tells the story effectively—thanks, Discovery!
