ACDV #13 – Proaim Victor Production Cart
In this episode I show the Proaim Victor production cart from the ground up! This is a piece of equipment that has made my life a lot easier. I highly recommend anyone in the production industry to get one now! 🙂
ACDV #12 – Remote Control Cage
This week I show a unique piece of equipment that has tremendously helped my neck, shoulder and lower back pain. A remote control cage and back harness. This cage serves 2 major purposes for me. 1, the shoulder harness is a lot more comfortable than a neck strap and also holds the remote in place if I ever have to let go with both hands and 2, it has threaded holes for mounting accessories like second monitors or video transmitters. Check out all the features in this video!
ACDV #11 – IKAN BZ400 Wireless video system
Here we go through all 3 set ups we use wth the IKAN BZ400 wireless video transmission system. When you need an external monitor for your drone on set and hate being tied to an HDMI cable, The IKAN BZ400 is the perfect affordable answer! Yes, there are other more expensive options out there, but this video is about IKANS system. We love it and it works great for us!

ACDV #6 – The DF95 r/c Sail Boat! (What I do in my spare time)

Here is our first voyage with the DragonFlite 95 R/C sailboat from www.radiosailing.net Be sure to visit the website and order yours today! Loads of fun with very little maintenance and pretty much no set up! Turn it on, throw it in the water and GO!
ACDV #5 – The Satori Aerial CoPilot remote mount
This week we look at the Satori Aerial CoPilot remote mount for DJI Phantom/Inspire remotes. These are perfect for those automated flights that take a long time. Save your back and neck and keep an eye on your screen while mounted to a tripod. Check it out in this weeks vlog! www.satori-aerial.com

ACDV #3 – Showing up Early to Gigs
This weeks vlog won’t compare to last weeks flying inside an airport, but this is just a small glimpse into one of my daily routines while flying for clients.
