I was worried about the Phantom being so close but it suffered no damage. I was around twice as far away from the fire and could really feel the heat! It actually started raining right at the end of the clip so I landed without getting more footage. You are right, when it got going all of the...

StangLuvr I don't know Jarrod Hawkins - sorry. Andy

I shot a couple of videos of a practice burn by the Fire Department in Brentwood, TN. People who are planning to demolish their homes to build new ones will often do this to allow the fire department to "practice". In exchange, they save some costs of demolition and get a tax write-off I...

As a photographer, I think you would certainly notice more difference between the lens of a P2V / GoPro (fish eye) and the one on the inspire which is rectilinear than you would between the sensors. I have one pre-ordered an Inspire and can't wait. Fish eye is fine if you don't mind working to...

CBS Sunday Morning is going to use some of this footage in their December 30th episode. Of course, they couldn't pay me . . . .

Thanks. Andy

Thanks aggiesrwe03. I think in the actual battle, there were 7,500 dead (most dead in a single day for the entire war) - I think only a few hundred were represented on the field in my video. I think I will edit it down some, it is repetitive in some places . . . Here are a few shorter clips...

I know this is long, so you might want to skip to the last 5 minutes to get the flavor. Taps plays at the end and it was very moving when I was there in person. Andy

I was given permission to fly and film the re-enactment of the US Civil War Battle of Franklin at Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee this past weekend (11/15/2104). It is the sesquecentennial (150th) anniversary of the battle so a lot of people were involved. It was a great day and I...

I'm thinking about flying and getting some video of the local fireworks show this July 4th. I've searched this site for recommendations and advice. I have a Phantom 2 with GoPro 3+. Here are a few things I would like comments/advice on: 1. Shoot at 1080P either 24 or 30fps? Seems to be the...

What setting did you use on GoPro? I am still looking for the best for night shots. Nice video - thanks, Andy

Wow!!! The slide . . . Wow!!!

2.7K 30 fps and wide is supposed to be good for low light according to Abe Kislevitz's article http://abekislevitz.com/understanding-your-new-gopro Andy

Hi ShrimpFarmer, your video looks fantastic. I am just getting into protune and FCPX. Do you use a filter (polarizer or other) on your GoPro when flying? Your colors looks so saturated. I just got one for the GoPro but haven't used it while flying as I understand the gimbal won't tolerate the...
