Where do you go from here?

FPV racing at this time is mainly a grassroots type of organization.  Races are generally organized by a group of people who all get together on the weekend and start flying. Check with local clubs and quad groups in your area.  But there are a couple of places on the web that you can check out for more for information.

DJI Inspire 1 @ Leo Carrillo

Leo Carrillo is a beach quaint beach on the northern end of the beautiful Malibu Coastline. Ever since I was a kid I remember camping at the campsite across the freeway and coming over to the beaches for long days full of relaxation. Naturally, It’s one of those places that resonates deep in my heart so I have to photograph it from my Quadcopter!

Leo Carrillo is named after an actor who was extremely passionate about conservation. Carrillo served on the Beach and Parks Commission, and helped a lot during the acquisition of the Hearst property in San Simeon.  It’s been interesting to see how the waves erode the caves over the years, hopefully soon I can do some 3D mapping of the rocks during low tide and compare in 5, 10, and 15 years.

“Here I am” Pose while flying at Leo Carrillo. I’ve been compiling images of myself front he beginning and ends of my flights. For a while when I catches my Phantom I would spin in a circle  with the camera pointed at me so I can cut them together. What also works is a Dronie, a photo or video of yourself while the quadcopter is in the air.

Family Portrait With A Drone

This year when my family got together for the holidays we wanted to do things a little bit different. Instead of our usual family photo with us standing up, we found a awesome circle that we decided to lay in. I flew my Phantom 2 with a GoPro Hero 4 on time-lapse mode and flew above us. You can see me on the bottom of the photo looking at my monitor composing the image. After shooting some photos, I recorded a video and did the same move above us. This was one of the most unique family photos we’ve taken yet, and we’ll have to see where we can go to out-do this one next year.
