    Frank from Northern Illinois checking in :)

    Hi drone family, I am relatively new to the UAV scene but I have a keen fascination with quality photography so in December I decided to incorporate aerial into the mix. Background is photography, but I'm diving head first into aerial photography and cinematography (videos). I took the...

    Drone vs Quadcopter (Multirotor)

    It may sound silly but worth a try. Some ignorants, unaware of consequences started this long time ago calling flying multirotor - the drone. Until then, per my knowledge this term was reserved for one purpose only - military equipment, armed and lethal. At first it was interesting and exciting...

    Noobie question re: proximity to Airports & Helipads

    I know I'm not allowed to fly within 5mi of an airport without notifying them; however, when I looked at my location via B4UFLY, it gave the following warning, "You are within 5 miles of an airport." I've uploaded screenshots from B4UFLY and UAV Forecast. You can see from both (especially UAV...

    Mallerstang Valley to Pendragon Castle

    So after about a month of ownership this is the first video I'm reasonably happy to post. Please take a look and subscribe to see more as I post to YouTube. It's pretty much a first attempt at editing and I have no photographic or videography experience so comments and suggestions welcome...

    A little video I did in Lake Powell, near the Bullfrog Marina.

    I must say, it was more difficult landing on the boat than I initially thought with obstacle avoidance turned on. It was a bit unnerving at first, but I got used to taking off and manually landing on a platform 2' by 2'. And obviously, return to home doesn't work when the boat is constantly...

    NEW Regulatory Thinking

    What constitutes a reason for the weight classification? and Why should we regulate? This needs to be resolved before we blanket new drone technology and capabilities with the existing control and safety logic with regulations we've relied on for the past 50 years. UAVs especially the small ones...
