I went to La Jolla today to fly Phantoms around with Mark Peterson and Norm Hamson. I had hoped to be able to capture shots of La Jolla from the air during a beautiful sunset, but thick clouds blanketed the horizon, giving us a quick path to darkness at dusk. Every time we take quadcopters ...

Here are some behind-the-scenes shots from Tonga, which were taken by my good friend, Julian Cohen. Although I mostly flew from the boat, I did a couple beach launches, as well. It’s important to have a tough, waterproof case for work like this. My entire Phantom with FPV and 6-8 batteries fits in a single ...

I absolutely love the aerial perspective. This is a picture of my wife snorkeling outside of Swallows Cave in Vava’u, Tonga. You can see the little mushroom island’s entire underwater reef structure.

Aerial footage taken in Tonga, September, 2013. Huge thanks to Julian and Ildi Cohen and the crew of the S/Y Bella Principessa for their hospitality (I used the catamaran as a launch platform).

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/)
