The Old Paint Mill between Jersey Shore and Antes Fort is a beautiful piece of history nestled into a small valley.
My favorite times to photograph it are Fall and Winter because of just how cozy it looks during those seasons!

My beloved DJI Mini 4 Pro seemingly fell out of the sky a few weeks ago and it left me without my most versatile aerial imaging tool when I needed it most. After reviewing the footage, checking the area, and doing as much due diligence as I possibly could it became all too apparent...something was very wrong with my drone.
Now that I have my replacement Mini 4 in-hand, it's time to talk about my conclusions and my experience when dealing with DJI's repairs and service team...

Chateau d’Ussé was one of my favorite castles to photograph during my 2019 trip to France. Did you know it was Charles Perrault’s inspiration for the castle in “The Sleeping Beauty?”
There were so many beautiful things to see through the French countryside, but the chateaus were perhaps my favorite of them all!

I need your help! Can you all give me some suggestions for Christmas lights displays throughout the region? Leave me comments on this post to offer your suggestions.
I’m looking for large, unique displays. Think Candy Cane Lane or something similar!
Thank you ☺️
The Pavo Pico by BETAFPV could be one of the most innovative tinywhoops on the market. Touting a lightweight airframe, small form-factor, surprisingly powerful motors, and of course the ever-impressive DJI O3 Air Unit, the Pavo Pico from is a drone that can empower anyone flying FPV with cinematic, high-quality imagery.
The question is, does this interesting little drone have what it takes to live up to its billing? In this video, I'll give you my initial thoughts and feelings on the Pavo Pico, including specific pros and cons for the mighty little drone.

Since the release of the Mini 4 Pro, it has been hotly debated whether or not this powerful little drone has dethroned some of DJI's long-standing champions.
It's safe to say that this is DJI's most capable version of their Mini drone series yet, so why beat around the bush? Let's see if the Mini 4 Pro can dethrone the Mavic 3 as DJI's "king of the castle."

Perhaps the most important part of any consumer or prosumer drone is the power of its onboard camera system. Historically speaking, DJI has always offered top-tier camera technology on their UAV platforms, but in recent years it has elevated itself above anything else on the market.
The Mini 4 Pro is no exception. We flew all the way out to Long Beach, California to give this drone optimal lighting and flying conditions to see just what it can do. The Mini 4 Pro packs a wallop in its camera system, rivaling that of its most recent predecessor, the DJI Air 3 and even giving the tried-and-true Mavic 2 Pro camera a run for its money.
Just how powerful is the camera on the Mini 4 drone? Let's find out, Let's Talk Drones!

One of the newest features brought to DJI's latest Mini drone comes in the form of waypoints. Automated flight has been something DJI has strived to improve with every new drone and the DJI Mini 4 Pro is no exception.
With the implementation of waypoint missions for the Mini 4 Pro, a whole world of new possibilities presents itself for this consumer drone geared towards hobbyists and beginners. The question is, is this new autonomous flight feature practically functional or added fluff?

The new OcuSync 4.0 is rated to transmit signal to drones up to 20 kilometers (or 12 miles) away...but in our previous range tests of the DJI Air 3 we were unable to achieve that level of performance -- falling woefully short in both attempts.
Will the DJI Mini 4 Pro be the drone to meet this range standard or will the mountainous and tree-covered terrain of North Central Pennsylvania claim yet another victory over DJI's latest image transmission system?

Despite a meticulously planned review schedule, life has found a way to, well, get in the way...Originally we were going to start with a flight test of the DJI Mini 4 Pro, but because of several days of high winds in north central Pennsylvania, I felt we should just get out there and put this mighty, mini drone to the test against its sworn enemy...the wind.
Will the DJI Mini 4 Pro stand up to the test and handle up to 30 mile per hour wind gusts or will it blow away into oblivion and out of our lives?

Arguably the most exciting drone release from DJI in 2023, the DJI Mini 4 Pro is available and we are fortunate enough to get our hands on one to review! This mighty, mini, flying machine was leaked throughout the year, but was largely overshadowed by its bigger sibling, the DJI Air 3.
While the release of the Air 3 was huge for DJI, it seems that the Mini 4 Pro has taken most of the consumer drone world by surprise (albeit a pleasant one).

Just a few highlights from today's scrimmage before I was asked to ground the drone...😂 Just to be clear, while the PIAA does NOT allow drones to be operated from the playing facility while contests are taking place, they have no jurisdiction over operations taking place outside and around the facility. I was operating the drone outside of the stadium and did not fly over the stadium. Of course, I did not want to be a distraction to either team or a disruption to the scrimmage, so I obliged their request to ground the drone...this time. 😉 Photos coming in the next post! Again, just not as many as I would have liked!

We recently celebrated "Topdown Tuesday," so why not celebrate "Timelapse Tuesday" as well??? I was on my way back from a commercial shoot when I noticed just how striking the Pine Creek Valley looked under the spring sun and clouds. I had to stop and get some shots (coming soon-ish) and the idea for a timelapse came to mind. Seeing the finished product has gotten me extremely excited for the beauty of Pine Creek and the surrounding area this summer.
