Photoshoot and Beyond
It takes a lot of balls to be in the biggest photography show in the world, have a drone ready and be silent about it. This is exactly what DJI did, and it got me wondering. GoPro announced Karma – the company’s first venture into Drones (or anything non action cam for that matter), which […]

GoPro finally took the complete wraps off its Karma drone that has been teasing for oh so long. There are a couple of huge wins that put the Karma on a separate plane from DJI Phantom drones. First, it looks like it is much more compact than other the Phantom and other similarly-sized drones. The […]
Yuneec recently launched its compact Breeze drone that is controlled by an app on a mobile device. The target audience is clearance the novice user with its five automatic modes that essentially allow the drone to fly itself. The Yuneec Breeze can fly indoors and outdoors. It has optical flow and infrared positioning sensors that allow […]
Remember that funny story about eagles being trained to clean the airspace of illegal drones? Well, things just got serious. The program started with one eagle, so the chances of the bird catching a drone somewhere in the duch airspace were pretty rand…
If I had to take a while guess, I would say that DJI will uncover their next drone in Photokina in two weeks, but some quadcopter-oriented blogs are already sharing leaked images and info. According to heliguy the next DJI consumer drone will be called the DJI Mavic. It will also completely change its core design. bye […]

We’ve had this video submitted to us by a videographer who wishes to remain anonymous and I can understand why. Even though he followed all regulations (like height, distance from venue and so one) he still got nuked! The short of the story is that a DJI Phantom Pro 3 got taken down by a balloon (kinda […]

CNN have today announced the launch of CNN Aerial Imagery and Reporting (CNN AIR). CNN AIR is their own dedicated Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) unit. The network will have two full time UAS operators on staff “to fully integrate aerial imagery and reporting across all CNN networks and platforms”. Drones aren’t new to CNN, though, they’ve […]

I will say, right off the bat, the photography itself is pretty amazing, but this video recently released by Canon is eerily similar to a D500 & SB-5000 promo video Nikon put out with Keith Ladzinski back in April. Canon’s “The Shot”, with Krystle Wright takes some speedlights and mounts them on drones in order to be able […]

DJI first introduced geofencing capabilities to its drones in 2013. It’s a technology that uses the GPS data to prevent drones from flying into no-fly-zones such as airports. Now, DJI have released GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) which provides drone pilots with up-to-date information on where restricted locations exist. As well as the permanently restricted areas that […]

Something tells me the owner of this drone was not quite expecting to capture what he saw when he reviewed the footage from this flight. While filming a local church at the city of Torzhok, in the Tver Oblast region in Russia, the drone’s camera accidentally caught a couple having sex in the church’s steeple. It […]
