    Drone Flipped?

    Never thought a Phantom could recover from a flip but it happened to me. A scary moment when I hit a power line. In the video you can watch/feel the bird do a full sumersault. Crazy.

    Surveying an aerial job (promotional videos)

    Simple answer is I ask the client if there's anything particular that he or she is looking for. Then I go and shoot a whole bunch of other angles over and above what they are expecting. In post you can make it look awesome. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using PhantomPilots mobile app

    South Yuba River Flooding

    Definitely gets the heart rate up but it helps having logged many hours of flying and 2 backup drones. Thanks for watching.

    Disaster Strikes!

    Jeff, I have felt your pain and I write this to hopefully help give you some optimism. Almost 2 years ago my first P3P, 2 weeks out of the box, was taken down by a Red-Tailed Hawk while vacationing in Idaho. Needless to say the drone was in bad shape after plummeting from about 80 ft. I was...

    Drone Hits Power Line (Phantom 3 Pro)

    "Would I do it again?" Haha, that's funny! and ya know what? I've got a backup Phantom to my main backup and you've got me thinking... hmmm. Except I'd choose something different than a power line, HAH! But you know the old saying, "I bet you can't do that again."

    Drone Hits Power Line (Phantom 3 Pro)

    Not A Stress Crack... But?

    Thank you for your observation. Tried the credit card idea and small screw driver but to no avail. So that I don't void any warranties I'll hold off from doing anything in case I need to send the bird in. Kind regards.
