I admit that I was nervous putting the Gnat up over this scene in Utah. I launched him over the steep drop off of 1000 feet, knowing that if he went down, I would not be able to retrieve him. Fortunately, he dutifully returned to home. Some call this place the Mars Overlook.

What could be more fun than to drone fall colors in Colorado?

Lost Lake near Crested Butte. Great spot for a picnic.

My drone (a.k.a. "the gnat") is pitched against a white, puffy cloud. He's working hard at 12,00 feet elevation to get a shot of the pond.
