With the upcoming Super Bowl this weekend everything in Philly is lit up green. Here is some footage of the Ben Franklin Bridge in it's Super Bowl spirit. This is a quick edit wasn't going for a cinematic masterpiece. A local TV station is using some B-Roll from this flight in a feature this...

I still have my Pro Platinum in rotation. It’s always been pretty reliable but like stated before the newer models have much better cameras. In the right situation I will still reach for this drone.

Correct

I remove mine after every flight. I put motor covers over each motor. I store my props in a hard sided sunglasses case. Been doing this for a few years now and never had an issue.

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.

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.
