    Strobe / RID Module Mount Idea

    I think this might work. It was cut from a polycarbonate grinding mask lens.

    Preliminary Dronetag Beacon Review

    Of possible interest to some: This gizmo is a $200.00 module to bring drones that didn't have Remote ID factory-installed into compliance with FAA regulations that will go into effect in September of this year. I'm not especially thrilled with the law, but I left the commentary out of the page...

    I Must Have Bad Taste in Pictures

    On two jobs today, the pictures that I thought were crap were the clients' favorites. It's not the first time that's happened. I've also had clients who absolutely loved positioning footage. I let the camera run while positioning in case of a bird strike or other damage. If I can retrieve the...

    Post Firmware Update Flight Picture

    I installed updates to the drone, batteries, and controller; so I did some flying over my back yard to shake out any bugs. I snapped a few spring treetops while I was up there. Here's one of them. Spring has nice colors, too.

    Is This Greeting Card in Bad Taste?

    Not that I'm worried about it. I'm just curious. https://weirdgreetings.com/failed-pilot-test-1.php Thanks!

    Some Winter Practice Flying

    I had to scrub this morning's planned mission due to visibility and icing conditions, but I did manage to get some local practice in in between the blizzards. The video is in 4K/60, but it may take a while before Vimeo transcodes the higher-definition versions.

    The Mission was Scrubbed, but the Ride was Nice

    Mission was scrubbed due to poor visibility and visible moisture at the venue. But I did enjoy the ride.

    MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2x Rendering Test

    My old GTX 1660 was struggling to render in 4K, so I replaced it with an RTX 3060. I'd been looking for an excuse to make the 2-hour plus drive to Micro Center anyway. I threw together some old footage with challenging textures, and threw in a bunch of random effects in DaVinci resolve studio...

    Maybe a Forum for Drone Pilots?

    It could be mutually beneficial. Most drone pilots have no experience flying Part 91, so they could learn something; and there are enough of them to create some content, some of which would be nice to look at. Add a few sub-forums for drones, training, pictures and video, rules and regs or...

    Getting Ready for the Season

    I did firmware updates on the airframe and all six batteries, and got my biennial recurrent training out of the way three months early. (It's easier to find the time in February when it's still dead, anyway.) The next reasonably-dry day that rolls around I'll run down to the state forest and get...
