Thanks to a trained eagle wearing a 360-degree camera, this video lets anyone feel what it's like to soar high in the air over Neuschwanstein, the castle that inspired Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty castle.
An aerial video taken above Yellowstone National Park shows the devastation flooding has caused, as roads are being swept away and tourists are being left stranded.
DJI Minis used to be for those who want the best flight for the least amount of money. The DJI Mini 3 Pro is what happens when we pay a little extra.
Autel Robotics’ new EVO Lite+ drone combines a 1-inch 20-megapixel sensor with a variable aperture to shoot detailed, rich images. The company might not be a household name like DJI, but the EVO Lite+ deserves your attention.
The change of seasons is such a self-evident phenomenon that we take it for granted yet we struggle to catch it in the act. Look outside: nature seems so static compared to the hectic lives we must live.
Drones are fun. It doesn’t matter if we’re flying them or looking at drone photos and videos, there’s still that sense of wonder and awe as earthbound humans. That excitement carries over to watching not only any new drone, but in this case a high-end one that promises so much. There’s always inherent hype when a company like DJI announces a drone, and in the case of the Mavic 3, it may be justified.
The company that created a way to literally throw a GoPro to get aerial footage has just announced a similar product that promises the same experience, but with a smartphone.
Picture an egg. Now picture an egg with a camera on it. Now picture an egg with a camera on it that can fly. Now picture an egg with a camera on it that can fly in the rain. Now picture an egg with a camera on it that can fly in the rain and land on water. You are now picturing the PowerEgg X.
This past weekend, all three occupants of a speedboat in Marin County, Florida somehow fell overboard while "doing a photo shoot," sending the unmanned boat careening towards the shore at full speed, where it hit a dock and went airborne.
AER is based on the premise that you don't need a drone to capture sweet aerial shots. Nope, just snap your GoPro into this Nerf football looking thing, turn the camera on, and throw it with all your might.
Drone Fishing. It's exactly as ridiculous-but-kind-of-fascinating-but-really!? as it sounds. Jaiden Maclean and his friends at Sea Ulcer Aerial Media went fishing for longtail tuna with a Phantom Drone, and captured the entire battle on camera.
Canadian photographer Richard Gottardo -- whose beautiful work we've featured several times before and who I am going to email passive aggressively to see why he didn't send this our way the moment he published it -- just uploaded some truly spectacular aerial footage of the Spring flood in Alberta.
It looks like autonomous drones are the next fad, because just days after sharing the Hexo+ drone, we have for your consideration another very popular autonomous flying cameraman. It’s called AirDog, and like Hexo+ it is currently in its crowdfunding stage a la Kickstarter.
Adrenaline junkies who want to capture their stunts on video have thus far been limited to two options. They either had someone else photograph/film them, or strapped an action cam to themselves for some first person point of view shots. Now, thanks to Hexo+, they have a third option: have your autonomous drone film you from above.
Andy Scott's dramatic 'Kelpies' sculptures near Falkirk, Scotland are only a week away from their official unveiling, which prompted Helix to unveil one of the most epic construction time-lapses we've ever seen to show the massive 100ft sculptures come to life.
When it comes to spectacular landscape photography, Iceland is one of the foremost destinations. Stunning vistas (not to mention the aurora borealis) seem to greet photographers in every direction and so they take to the skies to capture aerial footage or set up their tripods and dollies and let the intervalometer do its thing.
We ran across both approaches lately, shot by two different but equally talented groups, and instead of sharing each individually we thought we'd let one build on the other.
Niagara Falls is (or rather are) a sight to behold, and while capturing the falls from a boat or one of the overlooks is impressive enough, why not take to the air? That's what YouTube user questpact did, creating the video above using his DJI Phantom quad-copter and GoPro Hero 3.
Falling just slightly outside of photographically-relevant but square in the middle of awesome, this short video is just plain …
This video is actually part of a project called To Catch a Bike …
