We hiked up Lion’s Head in Cape Town, South Africa, for sunrise, and arrived at the top for an absolutely-beautiful morning. Clouds rolled over Table Mountain just across the valley (locals call clouds like this the “table cloth”), and a slight haze made for warm, dramatic morning light. I popped a DJI Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse ...

Morning flight with a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter from rib at Duiker Island near Hout Bay, Western Cape, South Africa, with Animal Ocean Snorkeling and some friends. It was a beautiful morning—the first clear skies in days—but the wind started to pick up and was blowing around 15 knots by mid-afternoon.

A secluded inlet near Duiker Island outside of Hout Bay Harbour, Western Cape, South Africa, houses three poacher rowboats sitting on a bed of thousands of illegally-harvested abalone shells. Aerial perspectives like this one (shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter) show the power that low-cost drones can give to conservation organizations.

Yesterday, I hung out with the lovely Coco Rocha (oh-so-coco) and her husband, James Conran at their place in New York. Coco successfully completed her first flight with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision, and even managed to catch it out of the air, which is how most experienced pilots “land” their Phantoms. If you catch ...

Hanging out on the TV Guide Magazine Yacht at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 with the Game of Thrones cast! I love that the default reaction to a Phantom 2 is to wave at it and to do a little dance. Shot with Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal, GoPro HERO 3+ Black (at 2.7K / 17:9 / ...
