1) Animal Videos
I have flown with Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, Buzzards, Turkeys, Geese, Ducks, Barn Owl, Seagulls, Brown Pelicans, fish, deer, elk, squirrels, cows, calves, sea lions, deer, and other animals.
The Facts about Flying with Animals:
1) Aproach animals slowly
When a flying device first approaches an animal, the animal goes through a period of time when they are determining whether the flying device is an enemy.
When the animal first takes notice, stop and hover in place, and let them adjust and build their own safe feeling about the flying device's presence.
When proceeding again, stop every time the animal shows concern. The goal is to have the flying device become "Trusted" in the animals environment.

4) Huge Beautiful Scenic Wave Videos
Below are videos of Pacific Ocean, Fort Bragg, CA. USA waves from January 10, 2021
On this day there were very large, up to 20 foot swells and it was foggy and wet flying.
There was not a lot of sunshine and most of my flying is very low and actively following waves to capture the natural effects of this very powerful and mystic friend, our Pacific Ocean while it is getting rough.
About the wave videos
They are .mp4 files, either 15 or 20 seconds long, HD 1920x1080 |
