Flying around the iconic Duluth Lift Bridge with my DJI Mavic Pro.

The perfect antidote for flying in overcast weather! the DronePrix AR racing app for the Mavic Pro. Its fun, you should try it out.

It was such a beautiful weekend for most if not all of Minnesota. I know in my hometown of Pequot Lakes, it was a PERFECT weekend to be out droning (wish I coulda even gone out more). Here is a shot of the Pequot Lakes High School Sports Fields that I took with my DJI Mavic: Pequot Lakes High...

I had a wonderful time staying AND FLYING MY MAVIC down in Longboat Key, Florida last week. Due to the high winds a lot of the footage didn't turn out the way I wanted (jello, prop shots, etc..) but I still found enough to make a decent vid. There a a couple parts I may edit, just a few turns I...

It was such a nice Minnesota day I had to take the Mavic out. I have been on this kick of finding cool old landmarks, so in this vid I went to the old Schmidt Brewery building in St. Paul. Sadly it hasn't been brewing beer in years, but the place still looks sweet! Also, it was finally a day of...

Went to Duluth, MN last weekend and brought the Mavic. I planned on just droning some of the cool landmarks of the city. But when I got up there I saw how cool the ice looked on Lake Superior and my plans changed. Also, it was super windy, as you'll notice at times in the vid, but it was such a...

As someone who is creating a service that requires the use of drones, I find myself creating a future that makes drones ubiquitous. I'm not sure if its just me living in fantasy land or a drone geek that really wants this to be a part of our daily lives. Sanity check?
