Weather permitting, I will host a meetup at Tehachapi Loop, where trains over 4000' long will loop over themselves. This loop is about 30mi East of Bakersfield. The flight area is rural. There are constant moving trains in both directions about every half hour to fly and capture. The launch...

Litchi is quite flexible. One interesting effect is to "time phase" identical flights during post editing. The effect works best in areas with lots of lighting at night. I shoot 30fps to gather as much night light possible using the slowest shutter speed possible with auto, using no ND filter...

Inspire 2 with X5. Should be announced tomorrow. That would be AWESOME....oops, I wasn't supposed use the A word.

No, at night I fly with no filter.

Night shots are not only an adrenaline rush while shooting them, they can produce very dramatic results. Below are a couple using my Phantom 4 I took my P4 to the moon last night, man that Windsurfer works fantastic! :p

The Inspire with the new Z3 zoom camera will be stellar for inspection jobs. It's only $900 and takes excellent photos, having glass quality similar to the P4 camera.

Desperation? That's defined as rash or extreme behavior. That's clearly not the case here, this is calculated. This is a pure business tactic, to sell more than the competition through the muscle of lower manufacturing cost, achieved from high volume, greater than anyone else. It's clearly...

Range is displayed in the GO app, it's easy to know distance. For me, it's affecting DJI sales because I know what they are doing, lying, and I don't like it. They have the technology to provide a 3mi range, and they are advertising it, but now they are not meeting that promise. The P4 RC is...

Great review guys, however nothing was mentioned about the reduced range the P4 exhibits, versus the P3P. My P3P flies 2+ miles with a windsurfer on the antennas, almost never losing control signal, the video fades first. The P4 keeps loosing control signal starting at 4000'. I have measured...

This puts a lot more pressure on Yuneec's Typhoon H. You gotta love competition, lower prices for us.

The original is the safest. CF props are brutal if they come in contact with flesh. The plastic props will do damage too, but nearly as much. I stay away from CF since the advantages are few, only looks. The stock plastic props are balanced quite well, when I use the Dupro balancer to tune...

Great review. I look forward to the long term review with M1 and getting to understand the primary benefits of the X5 large sensor. It's obvious a better camera, but I'm thinking to the untrained eye the difference may be difficult to see. But since I haven't used X5, I'm curious of Petr's...

I own two 2 P3P's and a P4 craft. I've been flying DJI craft a little over a year. I started out with a Typhoon Q500+, which was a good starting point, but quickly realized the advanced capabilities of the Phantom line. Two weeks ago I purchased the Litchi navigation app ($25) for...

Hey Petr, if I get a 107 cert, do the same commercial rules apply on days that I'm flying for fun as a hobbiest? I've got a 333 exemptions, but no pilot license yet. I'm considering waiting for the 107 program to alleviate the pilot lessons. I have no time for pilot lessons, and I think it's...

Petr, great interview with Loretta, she's a hoot. She conveys a lot of logical thinking, the way things should settle out in the future. Sometimes we average citizens think our government isn't so logical, especially in the last 8yrs (sorry to go political). I'll be visiting her Amelia...

Oh wow Petr, you did what I've been trying to do for months! We have whales going up the West coast near me, traveling from Mexico to Alaska. Palos Verdes Peninsula here in So. Calif is where hundreds of people whale watch from shore, but both times I've been there I've not been able to find a...

Nice dune video, looks much like Glamis and Dumont dunes, both in California (my playgrounds)

Fly me to the moon. Kiss me.

The Headplay HD's are $250, and they work fantastic. Much better resolution and image size, however you will look like a geek wearing them. Once you see the benefit of the screen, resolution, and size, you won't care what people think.

Update! I ordered another pair of +6 readers from Speert using a different frame (see photo below) with a larger lens vertically, but still narrow, just 4.9" wide. The issue was I could not see all of the telemetry data at the bottom of the HD screen. When I got the new readers, although the...
