    Taking drone flying classes?

    Hey Bud, I live in Walnut Creek. I could meet with you. I enjoy flying near the Carquinez Bridge. All you really need to do is go out and fly. Your in Crockett so just go under the bridge and head west along the railroad tracks. Take your time and go thru all the drone flight settings...

    Bay Area Drone Images

    Photographer here, purchased a drone. I've had my drone for several months now. I purchased it for still photography, not videos. I got certified. Initially I was very timid to fly, I've taken a ton of crappy images and now I'm starting to have a little more confidence, I understand what the...

    I want to pass on my experience with the certification test. Initially I looked at several of the online paid testing services and was completely convinced that this would be the fastest and easiest method to get the certification. Although, at some point I realized that the information was...

    South Beach Harbor at Twilight

    Behind the ballpark. I make sure there is no one near me - no cars, no people, I fly straight up, snap a few pics, fly straight back down. Less than 10 minute flight time. Point I am trying to make is, I do everything in my power to be as alone as possible. I don't want to annoy anyone with my...

    Flying in San Francisco

    I passed the test and it is still not completely clear if you can fly in some places or not. Definitely cannot fly in the northern coast of San Francisco, from the Presido all the way north to Stinson Beach is off limits as far as I can tell. I do believe you can fly along the Embarcadero. I...
