Are you interested in how we captured some of the aerial driving b-roll during the Iceland trip? We didn’t end up using much of it in the video, but it was fun to capture, anyway (video is below). The roads were unpaved and rough, so I spread a tripod out in the passenger seat footwell ...

Flying a DJI Phantom 2 at Bardarbunga volcano in Iceland. About 10 days ago, I had the great fortune of spending a day close to the Holuhraun eruption at the Bardarbunga volcanic system in Iceland. The eruption sits right up top of the largest glacier in Iceland, and has been spewing out lava in large ...

Aerial footage of the U.S. Navy DC-3 plane wreck on the black-sand beach at Sólheimasandur in Iceland. The plane crashed in 1973, and is accessible by driving off-road for a few miles. It is an incredible thing to see—I highly recommend going to see it if you are headed to Iceland. Footage taken with DJI ...

Aerial drone photography near the arctic circle. I returned a few days ago from 10 incredible days of flying a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter in Iceland. Iceland’s natural beauty is nearly unparalleled, and I felt fortunate to be able to wander around the country with a camera that could be moved both horizontally and vertically ...

Aerial image of the famous Blue Lagoon just outside of Reykjavik, Iceland. The Blue Lagoon is pretty neat, but I enjoyed the Mvatn Nature Baths more. There were barely any people at Mvatn, whereas the Blue Lagoon feels like a theme park. If you visit Iceland, get away from the Blue Lagoon and go explore the country! ...

In 1973, a United States Navy DC-3 did an emergency landing in the black sand near Solheimasandur (Sólheimasandur), Iceland. The internets say that the crew survived, and as of today (May 14, 2014), the fuselage is still there, attracting adventurous tourists who are willing drive off road a bit. I’ve seen a few plane wrecks underwater, ...

Seljalandsfoss waterfall in South Iceland. Aerial shot taken with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter and Ricoh GR camera.

Aerial Fjadrargljufur Canyon (Fjaðrárgljúfur), near Kirkjubæjarklaustur in Iceland. DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter w/Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and GoPro HERO 3+ Black camera. Conditions were very challenging. Wind was swirling around in the canyon, and there was light rain. The walls of the canyon are 100m high, and access to the canyon floor requires walking through the freezing-cold ...

Aerial image of Flaajokull Glacier (Fláajökull), Iceland. DJI Phantom 2 w/Ricoh GR camera. Man, I’m loving having a flying camera in Iceland!
