    Took my Solo and my Fiesta to the race track.

    Most of this footage was time shifted to make it seem like I was going juuust a little faster :) Also, since I was the only one out there, I was able to take 90% of these shots without human assistance. This is a speedway just west of Albuquerque, NM.

    Is it now legal to fly UAVs in the Rocky Mtn National Park?

    Indeed, many of the best aerial subjects are off limits. I like to scour Google Earth for interesting landscapes and formations that aren't NPS. That gives me plenty of interesting places to go here in New Mexico and I think most places have areas that you haven't discovered yet and would be...

    Got some lightning from an incoming storm last night.

    I was hurrying so I didn't have time to set up any smart shots, but managed to squeak out a few neat storm scenes before having to run back to my truck. This is in Albuquerque.

    Dabbling in aerial Real Estate video with Solo

    I agree with most of you points. What I'm noticing, though, is that these videos seem to be more for the realtor and seller of the home than for the buyer. Everyone has been very happy with the videos so far, I just wonder if the realtors will continue to see value in these videos. Also, the...

    Dabbling in aerial Real Estate video with Solo

    Thanks! Yes, all those houses are in the east mountains of albuquerque. Usually spend between an hour or two and usually go through all four of my batteries.

    Dabbling in aerial Real Estate video with Solo

    As a favor for a friend who is a realtor, my dad and I have been putting together 2 minute videos for houses that are for sale. It's definitely good practice. Any input is welcome!

    The gimbal video thread

    Looks great. Can't wait to team the gimbal up with a rectilinear lens.

    Inexpensive Drone to practice

    That's really cool but I was actually wondering how the 300 dollar Mapir looked. I'm guessing it looks nothing like the $2750 camera.

    gimbal release date?

    Nope, you'll use the same cable but it will be routed to the other side.

    Curious to see how those IR filters look without infrared illumination.

    New Solo firmware available now 1.0.5

    I tried a second range test today, the first since updating the software yesterday. I was in the same location in the middle of the desert. I made it a mile last weekend but was only able to do about half that today. Video was awful today, as well. If I was trying to get shots I wouldn't have...
