Aerial timelapse from DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter. I shot in 4K for 8 minutes and sped it up by 30x in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. The original footage was actuall quite stable, but I ran it through Warp Stabilizer, anyway, to make it even more stable. (Source: http://www.amazon.com/)

We took meteorologist Ginger Zee on a tour of the inside of the erupting volcano at Holuhraun (in the Bardarbunga volcanic system in Iceland) using two Inspire 1 quadcopters, broadcasting ...

Behind-the-scenes during the ABC / Good Morning America shoot. We used Android devices (Sony Experia Z2, in this picture) to run the DJI Pilot app because iOS devices do not tolerate cold environments (strangely, they complain about being too hot!). Those of you who are interested in aerial UAV stuff can look at the telemetry ...

DJI Inspire 1 / Lightbridge / Atomos testing: I did some tests this morning with a production DJI Inspire 1 recording to an Atomos Ninja Blade via the HDMI output on the remote control. Inspire 1 has built-in Lightbridge, so it can output 720/60p to a local display or recorder over HDMI. HDMI cables are really ...
