Phoenix, AZ—I number of my friends and visitors want to know more about my Phantom 2 camera drone so I have provided a close-up view. The Go Pro camera with gimbal is a better choice then the built in camera on the Phantom 2 Vision plus for better images. Check out my new retractable landing gear that’s never in my video shots anymore.   My trusted dealer in Van Nuys, CA is Pirofliprc at 16205 Victory Blvd, Van Nuys, CA   91406- Telephone 818-781-3401.

Los Angeles, CA —If my blog seems to have so much content related to camera drones it’s because I hopelessly hooked! I find myself adding sites to my bucket list every day.   Most of them are in far away places.   Here are two of my latest shoots.   Please enjoy!

Los Angeles, CA —An undetermined but huge numbers of little camera drones are in civilian hands all over the world.   They are safe, somewhat simple to operate and the cameras are capturing stunning images. We can easily guess that the number of multi-rotor drones in the USA currently far exceeds that of conventional helicopters.   Drones for the most part are ignored by the   Federal Aviation Administration  unless they are used to earn money or are flown inside or too close to airports without control tower permission.    The FAA has advised the drone owners to fly below 400 feet in order to avoid conventional aircraft. Currently there are adequate laws in every state that cover drones or their potential involvement in endangerment, assault, stalking and privacy invasion. The FAA has missed their deadlines and has all but abdicated its responsibility to integrate these devices with other air traffic. One federal judge has already slapped the ...

Los Angeles, CA —On a quiet Sunday Morning my little drone took a ride above Westwood area of Los Angeles.   The video shows the Southern portion of the UCLA campus, Wilshire Blvd and beyond.   On the West you can see the Veteran’s Cemetery, The VA Hospital and the 405 Freeway.     Unfortunately because of the terrific music attached this cannot be seen in Europe. 

Phoenix, AZ —A major time-bomb of sorts is waiting to go off in the courtroom of Judge Sherry Stephens .  This is in the form of a motion that would remove the death penalty from consideration due to serious misconduct.  The shenanigans and misconduct of cops and prosecutors in this case has grown to fill a massive book.  Judge Stephens lost all control of the the Jodi Arias case from day one.  Stephens has simply turned a blind eye to the misconduct that allowed this murder trial to become one of the more infamous judicial circuses since the Salem Witch Trials . The latest stunt revealed today was that Mesa police detective Estaban Flores  unlawfully shared confidential and court sealed information with his wife.  She in turn allegedly uploaded outrageous videos containing some of the information onto YouTube in efforts to incite public opinion against Arias. Ultimately, if this is true, Estaban’s police career and peace officer certification is...

Leni Riefenstahl Carice van Houten Berlin, Germany —I first talked about this last February when there was a tease article in Variety Magazine . The Jessie Owens story is coming to the big screen.   The film titled, Race  is starring  Stephan James   as Owens and he is joined Jeremy Irons  and William Hurt in this film.     Stephen Hopkins is directing the film.  Shooting  began this week in Berlin. The multi-talented Dutch actress, Carice van Houten  who happens to be my personal favorite has signed on to play the legendary German film director Leni Riefenstahl . Van Houten was cast in the once in a lifetime role of the accidental Dutch resistance hero, Rachel Stein / Ellis de Vries in Paul Verhoeven’s film, Black Book (2006).   That’s still is my favorite film of all time! Today, van Houten graces the Game of Game of Thrones  cast as the Red Priestess, Melisandre . Riefenstahl was a gorgeous dancer and...
