I have one on each one of my drone bags. They have the typical remove before flight on one side and than something aviation related on the other. I have a Pratt and Whitney, Grumman F14 Tomcat, United States Naval Academy, and a Navy Fighter Squadron VFA 101 Grim Reapers. I came across them...

This was shot in auto. I believe an ND8 or 16 was used.

Finally found what I thought was a missing card from Labor Day weekend this past year. I made a quick video from some great and some not so great clips of a perfect Long Beach Island sunset. After shooting a ton during golden/blue hour it was off for some much needed cold beers and dinner at a...

Not as easy as you think. Elevated Angles is the company behind the Philadelphia shots. They talk about all the hoops and coordination they had do have to get a shot in this podcast with Billy Kyle.

So you were basically going to “tell” on another drone operator? It turned out to be police so you felt better about yourself? Would it have been ok if it was your drone? Im more concerned about what was so special about the event?

800 Argentine Pesos is 2 dollars and 30 cents US.

As someone that has lived in that neck of the woods and in that area often the answer is no. No permit is needed. Just use common sense and follow normal UAV rules.

All you had to do was walk over say “hey I’m flying (or want to fly) around X Spot at around this altitude just to give you the heads up”.

Not sure if you use instagram but check out Jerome Strauss his instagram name is @jsdronephotography He is from Westchester and flies daily, arranges meetups to fly. He’s really a great guy I’m sure he’d be happy to meet up with you and get you started or point you in the right direction.

I’ve shot for a minor league team before. There is no TFR for minor league baseball games. Obviously be aware of local air traffic and local sectionals and you will be fine. Of course regular common sense drone rules as well.

The NYPD can make more money writing more parking tickets than not issuing these permits. I think that they think it’s a public safety issue. The drone community itself isn’t very large so I can’t imagine it’s a money grab.

Let’s simplify things here. Laws can be changed and amended. With that being said. I think if you are a New York City resident it would be in your best interest to write a letter to your city councilman. A well worded letter about the drone community on the whole. Let them know things like...

You won’t have any issues. Just be aware of wind. I fly in Jersey Shore towns (as well as the Hamptons and Delaware Beaches) a lot. Be aware of your wind speed. If you get heavy gusts blowing against you it’s hard for the drone to return back. Ive never seen any effects from salt air. I just...

The sharks are drawn to the menhaden schools. They are in the video shown (not zoomed in I know) The schools draw dolphins, whales, and bluefin pretty close to shore. Pretty common sights these days at many NY beaches. This was from last summer.

I use a dot card. I put all my links on my dot account and then with a tap of the card over most smart phones all my links come up on their phones...
