  • Drones for commercial use

    FAA is now allowing people to file for exemption to fly a UAV (Drone) for commercial purposes (through April 24 2015).  I am excited for the new possibilities.  To not be able to use a Drone for commercial purposes is ridiculous and is one of my biggest frustrations.  Our country is about “free enterprise”. Someone can film…

  • Blue lock tight

    Learned something new.   I’m sure many people already know this, but I didn’t.   I put the prop guards on the phantom and new screws that came with them didn’t have “blue lock tight” so they rattled out and the guard fell off.   Lucky no damage done.  

  • Horsing around with the DJI Phantom

    Horsing around with the DJI Phantom – now that is fun! I’m not your average Drone Diva. I had to put in my personal touch on my flying and what I’ve accomplished.  Hope you check it out and enjoy my video as much as I did filming it! I was looking or more things to do…

  • Snorkeling Costa Maya Mexico

    Snorkeling in Costa Maya was AWESOME!!! We just got back from our Carnival Cruise to the Caribbean. We had and awesome time!  We took lots of photos, but by popular demand, I put together a video of the first shore excursion.  SNORKELING!!!!  We were told that we very lucky to be able to go to this area. We pretty…

  • Flying above Bouse “B” Mountain Arizona

    Flying above the Bouse “B” Mountain in Arizona with the UAV Phantom  from 800′ away. I got to  fly my Phantom “Big Red” above the “B” on the mountain  in Bouse Arizona, I got a great shot as I flew over and up to the American Flag at the top.   I’ve been doing a lot of practice flights,…

  • American Flag in Arizona desert

    American Flag made from rocks. I’m having a blast flying everywhere here in Parker AZ.   One of the trails has a USA Flag that is best seen with the Phantom.    I also found a cross made from rocks.  The story we were told is that the gentleman that made the flag was not expected to…

  • Upgrade Micro SD Card 32GB

    Upgrade  to a 32GB Micro SD card, the Phantom will come with  a 4gb Micro SD Card but it is very small for video  .  DO NOT get a 64GB Micro SD Card.   The phantoms don’t read them at this time.   I find that I only can film about 4 times with this small original memory card, I upgraded to the 32gb after I tried the 64GB…

  • Moverio BT-200

    Can’t wait to try out the new Christmas gift,  Moverio BT-200! Moverio BT-200 ….Take a step into the future!  These are 3D glasses that will stream video and allow me to see the world around me.   In other words I can see the Phantom and see its surrounding flying area.   We are heading out to Arizona and…

  • Wifi Extender Issue Resolved

    My Wifi Extender would not shut off. After doing the research on PhantomPilots.com I did have some good suggestions to try.  It looks like my issue was cause by Wetting Current phenomena.   Once I read up on it, this sounds exactly like what was happing to my wifi extender.    High humidity environments can cause the…
