forest

I filmed this video last week while exploring in the Willapa Hills near Pe Ell, Washington. This legacy forest and its remnant old growth trees is almost unique in the area, as most of the original native forest has been wiped out. Sadly, the same fate lies in store for the big trees of...

Another smoky sunrise view toward the Cascades (Mt. Pilchuck) from above my house in Lake Stevens. Hopefully the winds are changing to blow the smoke east so this should be the last such sunrise of the season.

Summit Lake is the brilliant, crystalline gem of the Capitol Hills. Folded into the northern flank of that small, forested mountain range, Summit Lake is home to salmon and people alike, and both depend on its clear, clean water. That water quality is dependent on the wild forests that blanket...

The deep, quiet valley of Beatty Creek is one of the few wild valleys home to big trees and diverse, natural legacy forest left in the Capitol Hills. Here can be found a vibrant, native ecosystem largely untouched in over a century, with large remnant old growth trees that stood watch over the...

4 years of flying high it was great fun to stay under 30 feet to create slow and calming shots in the forest.

So, after a year I have now lost my drone to the forest... I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I was too low for the terrain I was in (forest full of tall trees). Nevertheless, could someone (possibly) give me some more info on what went wrong? What confuses me is that I was never able...

I recently found a true off-the-beaten-path hike, and decided to share the location since without boots on the trail it soon may not exist at all! The trail in question is known as "Mt. Mitchell via Sugarloaf", and is located in a unprotected wilderness area South of Mt. St. Helens. The trail...

The Forest | Cinematic Drone Flight My first cinemactic video with the Mavic 2 Pro.

Aydos Forest The highest hill of Istanbul with an altitude of 537 meters. ''Aydos'' means eagle in Greek language. You can easily jog and hike here through the trails besides looking at the beautiful trees and enjoying nature. All footage shot by DJI Mavic Mini in 2.7 K with sunnylife ND...

watch my tenth video on YouTube... and relax.

Beautiful Sunrise + relaxing music | watch, relax, and enjoy!!!

A sky filled with the warped and twisted clouds of a wild December day swirls ominously over the snow shrouded meadows of Mt. Rainier National Park. From crown, wreathed in fog, mighty Tahoma drips with frosted ice cascading over dark cliffs of volcanic stone. Far below in the rainforest valleys...

First test out with my new drone, the Mavic Air 2. Wonderful autumn sunset from Catalunya, Spain. - Drone: Mavic Air 2 - Resolution: 4K 60fps & 4K 30fps - Co...

I combined my latest drone shot with my "down-home" acoustic version of "America The Beautiful"

So today, after more than 144 flights and 72km of experience, my Mavic Air crashed. I was flying it above some trees at around 120 meters. I wanted to return home, but it started landing itself. At the time, I was only around 250 meters away and still 15% battery left. Started looking for it...

Hi all, I am new to flying drones and have the Mavic Pro 2. I am using the drone to do forest canopy surveys but have encountered a problem in that I cannot fly further than 500m away without losing signal. I have looked into using waypoints but the limit in the DJI Go app is also 500m. I need...

The lush green of spring clothes every inch of the deep woodland realm of Priest Point Park. A bastion of tall trees and an emerald tapestry on the shores of Puget Sound, the park is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Olympia, Washington State's capitol city. Forest flying is tricky, but I...

Every day of spring in the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest brings new wonders as life surges with the turning of the seasons. New flowers appear, bloom and subside into the cascading torrent of fresh green leaves so that from day to day the forest floor changes with shocking...

I filmed this video recently in this quiet forest park on the shores of Puget Sound. I decided to really put the obstacle avoidance capablities of my Mavic 2 Zoom to the test, as well as my nerves! For such a big drone the Mavic 2 is really quite adept at flying in tight spaces, though I did...

Just a little day run up the hill to one of our favorite spots. Got some practice in, lining up shots and all. I still need lots of practice working all of my fingers at once. It's like directing an orchestra in the sky. Thanks for checking it out.
