DRONE FLIGHT OVER TEL AVIV – YAFO from Lauren Tolila on Vimeo. The above video was filmed with a DJI Phantom and GoPro 3+ Black Edition over the beautiful beaches of Tel Aviv, often called “the city that never stops.” It was the first modern Jewish city built in Israel, and is the country’s economic and cultural center. It is a lively, active city with entertainment, culture and art, festivals, and a rich night life. This video truly represents the high energy and vibrancy the city has to offer.

This is a breathtaking video of a drone maneuvering through a fireworks display, getting close and personal for a new perspective on these grand spectacles that we’re so used to seeing from the ground. Drones are giving us new ways to see our world from above with minimal risk and effort. Imagine what other aerial shows we can see through a drone’s camera lens.

Drone’s are proving to be a great tool for surveying new space programs and prototypes from an safer vantage point. This amazing drone video was recently taken by SpaceX, showcasing the prototype F9R rocket flying upwards from its launch pad. The footage shows the rocket rising to over 800 feet high and then hovering in the air. Most impressive of all though, is the fact that the craft came right back down and landed perfectly at its testing facility in Texas. Typical rockets are limited to single use. After they are launched into space, they separate from the main craft and fall back down towards Earth, usually landing in the ocean for safety reasons. The prototype’s successful first test flight is part of SpaceX’s F9R testing program and their ultimate goal is a fully reusable rocket which will halve the cost of launch fees.

Join the Roswell Flight Test Crew as they conduct a side-by-side comparison of different resolution FLIR thermal imaging cameras, testing their detection range for a human-sized target, as well as judging their effectiveness for FPV flying. The cameras tested include: the Tau2 640, the Tau2 320 and the Tau2 160. The purpose of these tests is to help first responders interested in deploying FLIR-equipped drones to compare the performance of different cameras, in order to select one that will meet their needs. Contact us for more information on our line of FLIR Tau2 cameras for your own applications. Visit OEMCameras.com for more products.

It seems like every company is testing out the idea of a drone delivery service nowadays, from delivering beer to pizza and anything else in between via drones. So Netflix decided to poke fun on their already successful DVD delivery service with their new Drone to Home video parody. Because waiting a day or two for your DVD is just not fast enough. Funny or practical?
