I spent a couple hours with reporter Jonathan Bloom showing him how the DJI Phantom works (with Rotorpixel gimbal!) and talking about how the word, “drone,” can also be associated with beauty. Jonathan was super-engaged, curious, and friendly—it was a ...

Our friends Aaron Grimes and Russell Brown  have completed a video filmed with DJI Phantom quadcopters in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Check it out—it’s beautiful. (Note that they had the required permit to fly in a state park) (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

The high-end MōVI stabilized camera system is based on the same brushless gimbals we use for stabilized aerial imaging work. I put this handheld GoPro HERO3 gimbal together in just a few minutes using a Rotorpixel HERO3 gimbal (http://rotorpixel.com), an Opteka X-Grip, 2S LiPo battery, 4 x AA battery housing, and a servo tester.

Who says brushless gimbals need to be attached to multirotor aircraft? I took a Rotorpixel HERO3 brushless gimbal and adapted it into a handheld GoPro stabilization system by adding an Opteka X-Grip, 2S LiPo battery, 4 x AA battery housing, and servo tester. Freefly Systems made news at NAB this year by announcing the MōVI, a high-end, stabilized camera platform ...
