Being a current part 61 certificate holder, I just completed the online course on the faasafety website and logged into IACRA to get the 8710 going. There wasn't an option to select remote pilot when starting a new application. Is that what you all are saying about not being able to apply until...

Haven't had the chance to take the solo out too much lately, but it's warming up in the mountains so it's time to get out for some camping. Looking forward to more filming this summer!

I definitely like my backpack for solo protection and schleping it around but I wish it was a little more versatile for carrying things other than just the solo. I've gotten creative and strapped my snowboard to it using a truck tie down, and when I hike in to go fishing, I have carabiners...

With control and regulation comes increased safety. As much as I don't like the FAA sometimes, they are a pretty safety conscious organization. For now the FAA isn't getting rich charging $5 per user to register UAV's. It will be interesting to see how it all progresses though if/when the likes...

The FAA has always and will always have their hand in regulating anything that flies in the air for profit. You can't just get your helicopter license, buy a camera, and start flying to film movies for money. I personally believe that there should be some combination of hours and a test to...

North Table Mesa in Golden, CO. I'm ready for warmer weather to get the mountain bike out and try out some follow shots

Updated to 2.0 and figured I'd give her a go today. I mostly have just been hand flying, but I used the orbit smart shot a bit and think it came out pretty well with a few spiraling type shots.

Very nice. What kind of mounting system did you use?

Worked for me this afternoon. Smoking deal, excited to not have to feel battery conservation anxiety anymore!

Thanks for the compliments. Having the joystick controls on the Z1 would be nice. The G4 pans pretty smoothly but it's dependent on the operator to make it happen by twisting the grip. It's predictable but gets tricky after some rum drinks as you could probably tell by some of the clips being a...

After doing some research I decided against bringing the solo to the Bahamas to avoid "customs fees" (kind of regretting the decision). I still wanted to shoot a video though, so I ordered the Feiyu Tech G4 because after shooting with the solo I couldn't stand the camera shake without a gimbal...

Vallecito is out by Durango, right? Haven't made it out to that part of the state yet, but it's on my list. All of the songs I've used have been bought on iTunes. I think it's more about the copyright reproduction of the music

I haven't run into Vimeo blocking any music from the videos I've put together. If I put it on YouTube I usually get a notice saying they will put advertisements on my videos. I usually upload to Vimeo because I feel the quality is better than YouTube. I actually tried to upload this video...

Yeah it was about 10 degrees when we showed up. Flight battery lasted longer than the feeling in my fingers. The problem with it being in town is the fish are really smart because they see fisherman all day. It's one of the harder rivers to fish in Colorado and we didn't catch anything yesterday.

Took the solo out today with a buddy to get some fly fishing in. Shot it in 30fps to try and get a more cinematic feel but found out it's not the best for trying to slow down some of the shots. It was really cold but the solo did pretty well, however my fingers and the iPhone struggled. Any...
