Good morning, today’s video is titled: “Colorado by drone’ and has been captured and edited by David. David slept in a tent for two months and drove almost 10,000 miles to capture all the amazing drone footage. It makes you wonder how much time he has spent going through all the footage and editing it into this six-minute video. Either way, the result is an amazing drone video. Check it out below.

As far as news goes, we found out yesterday that the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is now out of stock on DJI’s website, which might well be another indication that the arrival of the Phantom 5 is around the corner.

Good morning, a few days ago, I got an email from Philippe. Philippe is a French doctor and he picked up drone flying about five years ago as a hobby. Together with his wife, Ghislaine who btw is an avid photographer, he went to Burning Man to document the festival. Philippe, who from now on I will call ‘Le Docteur du Drone‘ was allowed to fly his DJI Phantom 4 Pro and capture video at night. His 2017 of Burning Man was already quite spectacular but the 2018 video you see below is even better. Forget the news for a second. Grab your coffee and watch this video first.

Then, you can come back and check out the headlines you may have missed, that cover things like DJI Airworks, the entire keynote on video, DJI & Peugeot Drone Film Festival, Delta crew spots drone and more…
