Here’s the video of the sunflower field! Tons of fun for an early-morning meeting. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter and camera. (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

Best meeting ever. I drove about 100 miles to the east to some beautiful, gigantic, sunflower fields with photographers Barry Blanchard and Jeff Cable to do some flying with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopters and Barry’s Spreading Wings S1000. So beautiful. Photos shot with DJI Phantom 2 Vision+.

I finally had time to install DJI Lightbridge on my Phantom 2 tonight. Lightbridge is a wireless HD video transmission system that also includes radio control and telemetry support using a single ground end and air end. I followed this video tutorial by DJI (hilarious, because I’m actually the one who is narrating it; the recording was ...

We climbed across the cliff to get to Shelter Cove and were told later by Brian Lam that we could have just driven in (the street isn’t washed out, apparently!). Oh ...

Live aerial broadcast using DJI Phantom 2 Vision+

I met up with a bunch of drone-flying buddies today to do another live broadcast test using a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter. It was a great success! What is notable about this demo is that I’m using the latest beta of the DJI Vision iPhone app, which includes Ground Station. Ground Station gives you the ...

I was in Pittsburgh yesterday to give a talk about Drones and Conservation at River Rally 2014, a conservation conference co-hosted by River Network and Waterkeeper Alliance. After my talk, Skip Barker of Wing Systems took me out on the Allegheny River aboard his Torqeedo-powered electric skiff, which was very cool. I sent a DJI Phantom ...
