I think this was the last run with the MXP230. In August of 2015, I moved to Gloucester, MA and there’s a beach about 1/2 mile from our house. I was flying pretty conservatively because I didn’t know the area, and didn’t know if I’d get in trouble. I’m pretty…
Drones: Trifecta PID tuning run
This was taken in May 2015. It was on a Trifecta tricopter. Pretty shaking by today’s standards, but for the time it was pretty good for a plastic frame. Check out how low I get at 3:33 on the video. Can you tell I love the shadows that tricopters make?

DJI Flamewheel
This was my first drone video on August 25th 2013. It’s a DJI flamewheel 450 with a Naza Lite flight controller. Back in the day, you used to get alot of jello in your shots. If you don’t know what this is, watch this.
Costumes: Photo shoot with Bill Hicks
