Ryan Tong and I had a good time today checking out the latest prototype of the Avegant Glyph, using it as FPV goggles while flying the DJI Inspire 1. It is a brilliant display, and is shaping up to be a great product for its intended audience. I was one of the original Glyph Kickstarter ...

A few of us met up with Jim McAndrew of Auto Flight Logic last week for a demo of Autopilot Phantom, their new app for the Phantom 2 Vision+. We have been waiting for a long time for someone to use the Phantom SDK to develop an app to assist normal Phantom owners, so it’s ...

Here’s a screengrab from a video of Ferdinand Wolf and me flying DJI Inspire 1 quadcopters over the Holuhraun volcano eruption in Iceland for Good Morning America last week (broadcasting live from the Inspire 1 HD FPV feed). It looks so sci-fi fake! This was from a rehearsal flight the day before the broadcast.‪

The high-end configuration was super slick and had dual FPV monitors, each configured with a digital video recorder. The basic aerial kit is ...

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

(Written Feb 3, 2015) Hello, everyone! DJI has just returned (to the remote hut where we are staying) from making history 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 ...
