Does your AC have the ability to do timed photos? I'm working on aerial timelapses my self actually. I hope to do some hyperlapses as well. But I have to do waypoint missions for that to work correctly... Here is my latest. It's not perfect, still needs some work, but its coming together. Have...

The event is open to the public for 7 days. The week after it looks like a ghost town. It's a true "leave no trace" event. Music: Gabriel Rios - Gold (Thomas Jack Remix)

We put together a small photo album of a few of our favorite photos we captured at this years Burning Man. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.795822817186749.1073741833.574033346032365&type=1&l=ac578af6a2

We are thankful that we were given the opportunity to fly again at this year's Burning Man Festival, DaVinci's Workshop. Our shots include mutant vehicles, The Space Whale, Black Rock Lighthouse Service, The Temple, The Man and many more. We love to be able to give back to the community by...

We hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day! While it may be gloomy in Los Angeles, here’s a reminder that even overcast beach days can be beautiful. We finally made the switch to Premier and decided to edit the first purely Phantom Aerial Productions project with our dual operated DJI Inspire1.

Yeah, were getting away from those kinds of shots. Mainly the festival planners, or media team captains are asking for these kinds of views. We are now telling them that we will not be providing shot's like that in the future, until we acquire a hex or octo. With something like that we can have...

Hello, I'd like to share a few reels we have of a few things we have done with the Phantom 1 equipped with Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal, and GoPro Hero3+ Black edition. We edit everything in FinalCut Pro X. Please feel free to ask questions, or share the videos with your friends, or in other forums...

The team at Playaworks made this year's 'End of the World' Zappos.com holiday party in Las Vegas a spectacular one. A flaming art structure, art cars from Burning Man, and yes, even a Thunderdome. Zappos definitely knows how to treat it's employees!

This is the first festival that we captured with our Inspire 1. This festival also marks the one year anniversary of the Phantom Aerial Productions launch. Suiting that we captured one of our favorite music scenes - Desert Hearts. Desert Hearts 3 Year Anniversary Aerial Footage Teaser Video

We had the opportunity to check out our friend’s airbnb site over a long weekend. We had some fun flying around so we put together this short clip for the owner to use as promotional material. Airbnb Link - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/8662707

We have had 1 scare at a festival. Some drunk fool tossed an empty glass whisky bottle at it. He was also on mushrooms at the time. The event coordinators, founder, and my entire team came down on him. So did all of his friends. When people are let in to the event, they are told about the drone...

Hello everyone. I'm Jay. I'm a part of Phantom Aerial Productions. (http://PhantomAerialProductions.com) I'm the pilot, mechanic, and lead editor for our crew. We currently only fly the Inspire 1, but started with an FC40, put the H3-3D gimbal on it with my Hero3+ Black edition camera. Paired it...

I think it's the fish eye reduction I use. It seems to blur the image a little. Also shooting at night with a Hero3+ black. Doesn't do very well at night. I figured I would give it a try anyways. Thanks for the reply!

Hey guys, the gf and I spent the weekend up in Marin county, visiting a friend of ours. We brought the Phantom with us... Please enjoy the grand finally of the Marin County Fair 4th of July fireworks show!
