    Alaska Highway Famous Wooden Curved Bridge

    Very nice video really enjoyed it. I think the bridge is really an engineering marvel, considering how long ago it was built, all made up from wood, and done with a curve thrown in to boot.

    How to get this style of shots?

    I think they are a really good mix of animation, some actual drone footage and maybe a little fake drone shooting like described in this video "FAKE DRONE SHOTS with 3 METER Selfie Stick" and some very good editing. The videos and use examples in the link I shared are to push some camera, but...

    Looking for sunshade for the new 10.9inch iPad air

    No I really didn't feel like spending the money for a commercial solution, it's not that often I'm flying and the sun is an issue. I'm usually out at dawn or dusk, but if I do get a chance to fly in the afternoon I have my Tony the Tiger Kellogg's box shade to provide shade on my tablet. This...

    Indoor flying check list wanted

    Here is a link to an indoor flight I did a while back, it's also my first video edit so it's a little rough. When I get time and after some more practice I'll try filming that flight again, then it will also be with a finished kitchen. :)

    Indoor flying check list wanted

    I would suggest using prop guards whenever your flying indoors. If the drone dose something you weren't expecting and you over correct it could lead to a unexpected result. I know I sent the drone into our window blinds, the drone was fine but the blinds had a big gash in them. It will cut down...

    Phantom 4 differences

    I have a Phantom 3 that requires I make a wifi connection to the drome before the GO app will recognize the drone and allow me to fly it, which I'm so glade that I don't have to do with my Mavic Mini. So for the P4's they don't require a wifi connection to the controller/phone and the drone is...

    Signage when flying drone

    Hello, I was looking at the regulations that my park district has for flying a drone on park district property, and one of the rules is to have "signage should be near the location on the day and time that the drone is flying over. Sign must be pre-approved by the XYZ park district" I have...

    Drone flying in Northern Illinois.

    Have you checked with your local park districts? Last year when I asked, I asked for a specific park that I knew wasn't getting heavy use. There was no formal policy then and they said as long as I follow FAA rules I could fly at the specified park and I was sent a letter that I could keep with...

    Looking for sunshade for the new 10.9inch iPad air

    I saw a YouTube video where the guy suggested a cutting out a piece of cardboard and bending the bottom to 90 degrees and then sticking it in the mount that you are using between the top edge and the tablet. I had a Kellogg cereal box that was empty so I have Tony the Tiger blocking the sun for...

    How are you guys and gals mounting strobes?

    I brought a Ulanzi DR-01 Anti-collision lights on Amazon. The strobe comes with 3M Dual lock Velcro mounts one attached to the drone and 2 pieces for mounting on a drone. I put one on my MM and the other on my Phantom. I have decals on my drones so I cut out an area to attach the Velcro piece...

    P3P RC Always Poor Signal

    I have no solution but I know exactly what you mean. Since the beginning of this year my Phantom 3 has had nothing but signal problems.And it alternates messages between poor signal and heavy interference and that's when I'm standing not more than 6 feet behind the drone. I didn't think of...
