This morning, we went to find Grjótagjá, a small lava cave in Iceland with a geothermal spring inside. I later learned that this cave was the location of Jon Snow and Ygritte’s hookup in Game of Thrones. The cave is accessible from two holes in the old lava tube and is fun to check out, but ...

I did a few flights in Iceland today, which was a lot of fun—the country is so beautiful! I’m not really here on an aerial-imaging trip, but my wife has been patient enough to let me do a flight here and then. She is the best. 🙂 We are in Borgarnes tonight, which sits on ...

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 ...

I love using large sensors in the air. I drove to Palomar Observatory today and sent the Phantom 2 Ricoh GR up for a few pictures (nowhere near the structures). Last year, I read Richard Preston’s First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe, which made visiting the observatory all the more special. The modified Phantom ...

Located in Horseshoe Bay (Nusa Kode) just off of Rinca Island in Komodo National Park, this dive site is called Cannibal Rock. It is one of the best dives ...

Pura Tanah Lot is another one of the seven sea temples in Bali, Indonesia, and is located in Tabanan. Although the area around Tanah Lot is extremely touristy, only Balinese people can go into the temple itself. We arrived early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, Ricoh GR ...

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a spectacular Balinese sea temple in Bali, Indonesia. The temple sits on a sheer cliff, and guards Bali from evil spirits from the south-west. There is no way to see this temple from the “front” except by aerial vehicle. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, Ricoh GR APS-C camera, and Boscam FPV ...

Version 3 of the Ricoh GR APS-C camera mount for DJI Phantom 2 is done! It’s ready for some serious field testing.

My Ricoh GR camera mount for the DJI Phantom 2 continues to evolve. The first version used the top vibration dampener plate of the Phantom 2 Vision (the dampener assembly is available for $10 from dealers), a bottom plate laser cut for me by Keri Wilk, and an inexpensive Giotto mini-ballhead. I wrote about the ...
