    Air 2 The falling star...

    What Bufface said... definitely an aircraft. But nice hyperlapse of the sunset.

    Mini Vespa club Ride

    Nice. 30 years ago I had a 1969 Lambretta Silver Special. What I wouldn't give to have that scooter back today! Almost all the guys I rode with back then had Vespas.

    Hello from Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia

    Welcome to the forum from Fabulous Las Vegas (the local tourism board requires that I refer to it that way.) I lived in Aus for a couple years in the 80s. A beautiful land and I'm always keen to see the videos coming from people who live there.

    I still fly my mini. Not as much as I should, but I get it out when I can. I'm leaving town...

    I still fly my mini. Not as much as I should, but I get it out when I can. I'm leaving town tomorrow for a week, but I'll look up the Facebook group.

    Air 2 Final Epic & Rough climb in Red Rocks Canyon NV on Mt. Wilson

    What a fantastic adventure through my stomping grounds! Thanks so much for that! :) I've never summited Mt Wilson personally. At my current age and physical condition I wouldn't try it now either. But I have been up First Creek to the base of the waterfall that you came down. Its a fantastic...

    Air 1 Las Vegas, Tour of the suburbs

    Nice tour of the Western suburbs. This is where I grew up. Well, technically most of what you see in this video was desert when I was growing up but I rode my dirt bike all over this land back then. In the shot that starts at 1:58 there is a road running down the right side of the screen...

    Air 1 Tilt-Shift'in things

    Tilt-shift combined with hyperlapse creates an amazing effect. I won't link to any videos, just go to Youtube and search 'tilt shift video' and start browsing. The effect, when done well, creates scenes that are almost hard to believe they are NOT miniatures.

    Air 2 Epic, Gnarly, yet Beautiful failed Winter Mountain climb in Colorado, Atlantic Peak!

    Redrock Canyon drone regulations are tricky to find info on. I think its mainly because they don't want to encourage drone usage. But the simple answer is that it IS legal to fly them in Redrock Canyon Conservation Area. They are prohibited when you cross into the wilderness areas to the North...

    Air 2 Epic, Gnarly, yet Beautiful failed Winter Mountain climb in Colorado, Atlantic Peak!

    Very enjoyable. Stirred a lot of emotions in me. I did a lot of hiking in high mountains in the 90s. Lots of backpacking in places like the High Sierras and continually climbing to the tops of all the highest mountains I could find around my area (the Southwestern US) just for kicks. Finding...

    Mini Desert Snow Day Mini 2

    All day Tuesday at work I kept thinking how I wish I was off so I could go get some shots of the snow before it melted. But I said to myself "At least Paleomanjim will have a good video of it!" Haha! Your videos are getting better all the time. Both your flying and editing seems to...

    Mini Mini 2 Mountain runs

    The hike to Bridge Mtn is tricky. Helps to have someone who has done it before to show you the route. When you reach a certain point and you look across the saddle at the backside of Bridge you think to yourself "That CANNOT be climbed without ropes?!" Personally I would hike over the hill...

    Mini Mini 2 Mountain runs

    Bridge Mountain was always a favorite of mine. Probably some of the most exposed and scary non-roped climbing I ever did was going up that ridgeline toward the arch! I have camped on top several times (perfect little hollow at the summit for 2 or 3 people). I may have to go back and do some...

    Mini Mini 2 Mountain runs

    Very nice. You did well flying so high into those hills. I would be scared to lose my signal (and my drone) up in those canyons. So much good hiking in that area. Lots of old native-American petroglyphs can be found on the rocks along those foothills also. I met a guy who worked for the...

    Air 2 Truckstop in the Desert - Hyperlapse

    Ah yes, I know that truck stop well. Great video.

    Mini Mini 2 Desert Sunrise

    Very nice. I was waiting for you to pan left at 1:30 and get an even better view of the gun club. That's where my Father and I go shooting. Thanks for another great video of my childhood stomping grounds (which are now covered in suburbs).
