    Drones @ NYC

    Headed to New York with the newest addition to my drone fleet, the easy to carry DJI Spark, hoping to do some flying in the very few spaces around the Jersey side of the Hudson where it’s ok to fly (since all of Manhattan is a no-drone zone), only to find that a TFR was put in effect the second...

    Short films - Phantom 3 Advanced

    Hi there! Here's the latest compilation of aerial footage from my P3A. As you'll see, I played around some more with the editing, using PIP for different perspectives within a shot, animations, etc. Safe flights! SKYER

    Mountain Top – Flying at 6000 Feet

In Spain, as well as in the US, the max flight altitude currently allowed for sUAS is 400 feet (120...

    Mountain Top – Flying at 6000 Feet

    During the trip to Spain (Destination: SPAIN – Phantom 3 Advanced) I took my Phantom up to the mountain range north of Madrid known as “La Sierra”, which is a great place to hike, walk, and bike during the summer, as well as to enjoy winter sports during the cold season. If you want to...

    Phantom 3 - Compass error free flights? Anyone?

    Hi Smokie! Sorry to hear you're having issues with your Phantom. Unless you're flying next to a powerful antenna or something, it seems unlikely that the repetitive compass error warnings were caused by external interference or even a poor calibration. Also, it should not take more than a...
