Four Micro SD cards + grass mowing with the drone!

https://youtu.be/sh2A4qupjJ0 This is a follow up to my Mini SD cards test from last week. Reacting to feedback from viewers I added 2 more cards to the lineup. The results are somewhat surprising. Lexar loses it's #2 position to one of the newcomers (not new in the industry, just new in my lineup). Is SanDisk's performance still unmatched? You'll have to watch to find out! Oh, and if you're in...

When to fly drones: choose the best lighting for your location!

https://youtu.be/TT30Xe-UInA The opening shots in this video were taken on a different day than the monologue recording (just in case this isn't obvious from the film!). If I count correctly this crazy cloud cover has been hanging over Easter US for about a full week now. It's not that you can't fly and get something interesting... my goal is to get the spectacular and stunning. In the meantime...

Comparison Review of two Drone Backpacks!

The case that comes included with Phantom 4 drone is revolutionary wonderful. Honestly, I was very surprised how far DJI went to make it so very usable for all daily purposes. It's well designed and provides good protection for P4. It looks neat and I believe its outside dimensions are as small as possible so it was made for portability just like the drone itself. There will be times, however when...

The Ultimate Philadelphia Aerial Video

Very soon after I got my hands on a DJI drone I knew it would be my new "thing". The aircraft was Phantom 2 with a zenmuse gimbal ready to take a go pro on board. With help of my friend Marcin we installed a Hero 3 on board and got the thing in the air. I knew nothing back then about flying quadcopters (or any copters at all for that matter...) but after reviewing the footage from that first night...

Chesapeake City, MD

Apart from its really cute area with colorful homes and a pretty boating marina one thing Chesapeake City has going is the bridge. If you get there early enough to observe the sun rising you can get shots like the one below. Then get on the other side of the bridge and hover your drone over the bay to capture the angle shown in the picture above. Good place to fly from is the parking lot right by...

Havre de Grace, MD

The first time I visited Havre de Grace was for a wedding shoot in 2006. Since then I passed by that location countless times going up and down I95. Now, almost exactly 10 years later I re-visited the little park with a small light house. If you get there by sunrise no matter the time of year you should be completely alone. I imagine this must be a popular spot during other times of day and maybe...
