Parked Car SMASHED OFF the roadDiamond Dragon2026-04-03 | Driver said he fell asleep - Dash Cam caught The footage. Grimsby Ontario, July 2025.
No one was hurt in this incident. #dashcam #carcrash #parkedDoug Memorial Video - You are immensely missedDiamond Dragon2026-04-03 | Not at all my typical drone video. I apologize to those expecting different. And this will very likely be the only non-drone related video. However, it is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing of my co-pilot, co-worker and best friend, Doug.
No longer by my side, but forever in my heart. Your silly antics, abundance of energy, and your ever limitless compassion, will sorely be missed. You could literally light up a room with the vibrance of your coat. People would stop just to see you, because of your uniqueness. Although almost always mistaken for a girl, because you had the absolute sweetest eyes, and gentle demeanour.
There are hundreds if not a thousand people who will truly miss your presence. Our neighbours, family members, friends, and customers from the store, have all expressed their sadness, and condolences. It truly has been a testament to how many lives you've affected.
This video is for them, and others who maybe never knew him. But this will be an excellent glimpse into the world of love and laughter you brought with you.
I love you Doug. You were my best friend.

#dji #djimini3 #lakeontario #grimsbyNew Grimsby FROZEN Water Front (2026) - Powerful, and DANGEROUS - People walk out there!!Diamond Dragon2026-02-16 | Hobbiest Drone Pilot - Diamond Dragon I revist a previously flown area, and WOW! I am so glad I did! About 3 minutes into this video - I was able to capture nature at its' finest!!!!
I had literally spoke it into existence. While flying this I had said out loud, "It would be amazing if I could get a clip of one of the chunks falling." And not 3 seconds after I had said that, the shelf gets slammed by another heavy wave, and BAM, it gives way to the treacherous tide. SO GLAD TO OF CAUGHT THIS SHOT, it was exactly what I was hoping for.
I hope this can be used educationally. WARNING! PLEASE keep off these things! They are dangerous beyond imagination. Because it looks so fun to climb on, and go and see. It can't quickly turn ugly.
I've seen groups of people trick out to these peaks. Completely un aware that at any moment, it could be a up to an 8 meter fall. With no access to shore, and freezing temperatures. You might have only a few minute window for rescue.
So, although truly mesmerizing, majestic, and powerful. This beautiful wonder is truly a dangerous one! Please enjoy the video, as much as I did making it!!

This was one of the first few flights I did. (Some older footage here) You can tell in the more jerky movements, and snappy movements. I didn't know the level of control you could program into the gimbals, and sticks for the different flight settings. I hadn't played around with them enough yet. I wanted to get flying. It was bad enough winter came when it did. When fighting wind, and gusting conditions, you tend to need to keep it in sport mode to be that bit more aggressive. Otherwise in cinema mode, you end up not being able to keep up. or the whole video takes a different feel.
Worse, when flying faster, you tend to be a little more nervous,, so smaller movements become amplified. Hence the movement in some clips. :| None the less, please enjoy :) Thanks for watching!

A full practice session, crashes and all. Fairly boring. But you have to keep practicing, especially on the days with good weather, as we get only a handful each year. I can feel, and see that I'm getting a little better with the dives, and slightly more control during inverted.

Another flight with Brauhwyn. However, after this round of flights (I don't show the footage). Tragedy struck. The drone had been responding in an erratic behaviour. I couldn't quite figure it out at first. It was only happening intermittently, I eventually solved the issue; it was the transmitter (Controller) When, throttle was at zero, it was some how reregistering it as 100%. And so when coming in to land, and cut throttle, it would take off full speed.
When I disengaged the arming switch, the drone plummeted, and landed too roughly on a hard surface, shaking a wire, or something loose. Terminating the VTX signal. :(.
Sad day, I had crashed many times before, and it held up. So now I have begun a different aspect of the FVP Journey.

Brauhwyn ( Second Drone) First one (Advartis). Gets daring, and we pay the price! Wind takes the drone easily, and I loose control, and punch it to the ground. Luckily, the battery stays on, and I can fly it back!
Then, LOOK WHAT HAPPENS when you fly into the sun!! Those branches Came outta NOWHERE! I SWEAR.
I decided to push this little drone because of how responsive it can be. And it can actually take a little bit of a beating. Buy, wow, do I have a long way to go to soothing it out.

Another flight with Advartis. No epic, or great lines of flight, but an interesting show of power from a tiny drone. You can sort of see, and feel the wind pushing the little guy around. I'll get to flips, and tricks when I get more comfortable, finding my rates, and camera angle, best suited for me. Absolutely love this tiny drone.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this drone package. It's not necessarily for kids, but is easy enough to use, it could be. The short flight time, with long charge times is the key reason. You'll only get about a 3 minute flight, maybe four, with heavy use. That can be stretched if you're just puttering. But go too low on the discharge, and you'll ruin the battery.
Again - easy enough for a child to use, but the maintenance is a bit to endure. Obviously, too many crashes is the pilots fault. I've made more than few. The drone can take a beating. I'll make a compilation of just my crashes some time soon.
I know four minutes, doesn't seem that long. Especially when you're trying to learn. I recommend spending time in a simulator to get the hang of it, and save your self a few hundred crashes at least.
The HDZERO System differs from the DJI system. As DJI will always send complete image packets, and just delay incomplete frames, causing a screen image freeze. Where as the HDZERO system allows for broken packets to be sent. Giving the digital image, a static effect similar to an Analog system. This allows for a lowered image latency, at the sacrifice of quality. But it boasts a 720p Digital image. Which is what you're seeing here.

Was on my last battery pack while out on other adventures. So it felt a little rushed. And you can kind of see it in the footage :( , However it was a lot of fun getting to swing around these metal monsters. Working in the cold sucks. But that mud on those tracks looks fresh. Hats off to these hard workers. Maybe I'll do a follow up, as this was back in March.Cherry Hill - Hockey in the Bay - Canadians in the ColdDiamond Dragon2025-04-22 | Hobbiest Drone Pilot - Diamond Dragon GO RAIL chugging along in the background.

I had driven by this place so many times. But never knew how to get to it, or why it was where it was. I finally learned that this was a "Burn building" it would help train first responders, for how to enter and extract through certain doors, and window openings, as well as putting out fires. There are pipes and tube that allow for the flow of gasses at the windows, to simulate different types of fires, and how to respond.
