Aerial footage of Burning Man 2014. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal, GoPro HERO 3+ Black, with DJI Lightbridge and Lilliput monitor as FPV and livestreaming solution. Some of this footage was streamed live to Burning Man’s Ustream live webcast during the event. If you’re interested in what it was like to ...

The flying of drones at Burning Man was highly-regulated in 2014. I was told by Firefly, the main organizer of drones this year, that a big reason for the new regulations was that some idiot flew over the Temple last year during the moment of silence before it burned.

I popped a DJI Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse ...

Morning flight with a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter from rib at Duiker Island near Hout Bay, Western Cape, South Africa, with Animal Ocean Snorkeling and some friends. It was a beautiful morning—the first clear skies in days—but the wind started to pick up and was blowing around 15 knots by mid-afternoon.

A secluded inlet near Duiker Island outside of Hout Bay Harbour, Western Cape, South Africa, houses three poacher rowboats sitting on a bed of thousands of illegally-harvested abalone shells. Aerial perspectives like this one (shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter) show the power that low-cost drones can give to conservation organizations.
