    Deception Pass

    The ranger was kind enough to just inform me of the restriction. In reading on-line, the vast majority of people who get caught flying drones in national parks are just told to pack it up with no official citation or fine.

    Deception Pass

    I visited Deception Pass today with my wife. After flying my DJI Phantom 3 Pro under the bridge and losing contact (and totally freaking out, fortunately I just lost video and was able to increase the drone's altitude until I got video back), I decided to keep it on my side of the bridge and...

    Eastside of Seattle? (Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Bellevue)

    I got a Phantom 3 Pro this weekend and would love to meet up with some folks who have logged some time with DJI Go/Litchi/Dashware. I was thinking of going up to the Snoqualmie Falls area and filming some of the Twin Peaks sites. -Don
