Thank you, Beeline!

Here's a video I shot and edited from over the summer, starring my wonderful girlfriend! Let me know what you guys think, i'd love to get some feedback.

Here's my best so far, let me know what you guys think!

Took a weekend trip upstate over the summer with my girlfriend and my Phantom. I didn't get around to editing the footage until recently. Hope you all enjoy, let me know what you think!

The airport I fly out of is Republic Airport in Farmingdale, long island. Upstairs, above my flight school, is the FAA and I have sat down and spoken to their UAS specialist. I can tell you all that it's not going to get any easier to fly a drone commercially or as a hobbyist.

Selling my virtually brand new SRP ND8/CP & ND16/CP. i've used the ND8/CP maybe 4 times total. I haven't touched the ND16/CP once. Only reason I'm selling is because I'm not a huge fan of the slip over design and I've gone and ordered a set from Taco RC that thread onto the camera. SRP makes...

It's coming, I'm signed up to be a beta tester and was just e-mailed the other day that the beta is being released very soon.

If you had to choose between the ND16/CP and the ND16-8 graduated to purchase, which would it be? I like how with the graduated you can expose for the sky and clouds while keeping the bottom half of the frame light and vibrant but judging by your videos the ND/16 CP makes the clouds pop more and...

Mine arrives tomorrow :D

Personally, I don't like the idea of transporting my phantom with the props on. I'd rather have them tucked away safely in a side pocket. Even with those clear dowels I think they could be susceptible to bending & even the slightest unevenness in the props will lead to unstable flight and...

A little edit I made flying around NY & NJ.
