The battery is a 5200 mAH 3S battery, which is 2.36x greater in capacity than the old Phantom’s battery capacity. This thing will fly for 25 minutes straight, even with the ...

Pictures! 3D Robotics Iris with GoPro HERO3 and prototype gimbal, DJI Phantom 2 Vision prototype, and 3D Robotics Y6 running APM 2.6 (love this thing!).

This particular species of redwood trees are only found in the coastal regions of Northern California and in Oregon near the California border. I read an excellent book called “The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring” by Richard ...

I went back to the Sausalito Gate 6 houseboat co-op last weekend at sunset to get some more shots of the community. At least one building has been removed since I was there last time. What an incredible place.

Barry Blanchard invited me to hang out at Google HQ today with the some of the folks from the Google+ / photos team (most of whom I already knew from other angles—it is a small world here in the valley). Along with a huge DJI S800 EVO hexacopter, Barry brought with him a DJI Phantom Vision ...
