Shot some video last weekend of sea smoke near Portland, Maine. For those who have never seen it, sea smoke occurs when the relatively "warm" ocean water mixes with the arctic air and forms fog above the water. I welcome any feedback:

We often post about how the perception of drones need to change. Stories like this are a start: Drone, Social Media Help Man's Rescue From Flooding

Did you notice powerlines nearby? That's typically the culprit.

I would agree with this, especially the part about the mods. I've only been flying for 2 months, and my advice would be to get used to flying it without seeing/hearing it before even thinking about a signal booster. Out of the box the drone will go further than you can see it or fly it with any...

I'm starting to use Litchi more, and absolutely love it. I had some questions that their help/web site doesn't seem to answer, and wanted to know if anyone knew a good resource: 1. When designing your mission, are the altitude inputs relative to where the drone takes off, or is it sea...

So a few things here. 1. First, I think this gets back to the common misconception that private land owners also own the sky above them, which is simply not true. I'm not sure at what altitude that FAA jurisdiction starts, but I'm hoping there is clarify around those rules soon. I'm not a...

I guess what surprised me most is that the law around "air space" is ambiguous. I thought that once in the air, UAVs had similar rights to manned aircraft, in the sense that no one (but the FAA) had the authority to issue no fly zones, nor could a private citizen enforce any kind of no-fly over...

My apologies if this has already been posted, but Slate magazine had a very interesting article about the increasing number of drones that are shot out of the sky by complete morons: I’m a Responsible, Law-Abiding Drone Operator. I’m Still Terrified of Being Shot At.

I live in Portland Maine, and this video was shot at one of the beaches near me. The mission planning is surprisingly easy, and I wonder if smoother camera movements would be achieved using "interpollation" which I haven't tried yet, but lots of people swear by it. I gave it some yaw input when...

Today's flight on my PS3. Willard Beach to Spring Point Light. My first Litchi mission - absolutely love this software. You'll notice about 1:36, I lose connection - which is a bit odd, about 1 mile away with an ITELITE DBS Mod. Maybe it was behind something and just couldn't get 'in sight'...

Quick question, with that setup, where are you mounting your phone??

Took this flying over Scarborough Beach in Southern Maine today, outside of Portland. Several photos merged together in Lightroom

I definitely need to get some of my camera chops down, but wanted to share some video of what is only my 10th or so flight. First time over the water at a small beach in South Portland Maine. Views of Portland headlight (famous lighthouse in the area), some of the islands, ferries, etc). I have...

Is there a firmware update known to conflict with the ITELITE DBS mod?

Where in Maine?
