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 ...

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 ...

After the “Drones and Conservation” workshop I gave yesterday at River Rally 2014, Skip Barker of Wing Systems took me out on the Allegheny River aboard his Torqeedo-powered electric skiff. I sent a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter up into the air and shot some video. (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

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! ...

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

Remember to travel with extra cables! I use an old Phantom battery to charge my Black Pearl monitor / diversity receiver, and the JST connector just lost a wire. I can jam the broken wire in and make the connection work, but it would be better if I had a spare cable here in Iceland. ...

I’m all packed up for a trip to Iceland! My wife said I could bring one drone, but I’m sneaking a second one on the trip. I have a Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and Gopro Hero 3+ Black w/Ragecams 5.4mm lens mod in a Go Professional rolling hard case, and a Phantom 2 w/Ricoh ...
