I like the ones that are really snug and fit right around the drone, because that way I can pack it in my bag with other things. Some people will have just a case that has all the parts in the case.
For my Spark I have that. For my Mavic I have the individual cases. I'll put a link in the description to the ones I use for my Spark and my Mavic. Personally, I love having a smaller footprint with my drone because I'm working with a bunch of other gear and I want to be able to just slide it in my bag with some other stuff this website. So I don't know where I'm gonna be when I'm traveling, I don't know the situation, having a big drone case doesn't necessarily always work, so that's why I go for the smaller cases. Backpack is super important. So when I had the Phantom 3, I had a special backpack just for the drone, and I could fit some stuff around it. With the smaller drones, which is why I suggest using like a Mavic to travel or a Spark, you can pack it in with your other stuff. The bag I use is an ultra light camera bag from F-Stop. They have some great backpacks, I'll put a link to that one below. Guys, I don't need to keep saying it, if I'm talking about a product, I'll put in the link below just so you guys can take a look at that. I like an ultra light backpack, I like something that's not gonna be super heavy, something that has a frame so it sits well on my back, and then also I like modular systems. So I don't like backpacks that have like, the predefined cutouts for everything. I would rather build my own layout. So with the ultra light that I use, I have things in different bags. And that's what I'm saying with the drone, the protective cases, there's small little protective cases so when I put 'em in the backpack, I could fit things in differently depending on what gear I'm bringing for what trip. So if I'm bringing my stabilizer, multiple cameras, a ton of lenses, or if I'm just bringing like a couple things, then maybe I'll put a jacket, water bottle, and some other stuff in there. Something to keep in mind, you really just gotta find the backpack that works for you. It's taken me years to find a backpack that I'm really happy with. And actually this one is pretty awesome, I think I'm gonna be using this bag for a while. Okay, another big tip when you're traveling is carry all your drone stuff on you. The last thing you wanna do is put your drone in like a checked bag and then have it disappear or have it broken when you show up at the location. So that's, again, why I say I use smaller drones, because I can pack it in my backpack and keep it on me wherever I'm going. And even if it is bigger, say like the Phantom 4, you can put that in a hard case or another type of rolling bag that you can put in the overhead compartment. So I like to either have it on my back, my backpack, or I bring a second rolling bag and that has other gear in it and that goes in the overhead.

- What is up guys? Let's talk about traveling with your drone. (techno music) Guys, if you're new to this channel and this is the first video you've seen, then you probably don't know what's going on. So basically, for the entire month of December, I'm putting out a new camera tutorial every day, or photography or something in the filmmaking world. So it's 31 days of filmmaking, awesome and cool stuff. So guys, if you end up liking this video, make sure you hit that subscribe button.
Alright, so we're talking drone and traveling, two things I love, I love drones, and I love traveling. But people always ask me what kind of cases I use or how do you travel with a drone, like how do you check things? So that's the topics that we're gonna go into in this video. Okay, so I've narrowed it down to eight things that you need to think about when you're traveling with your drone. Alright, the first one, and this is like the biggest thing that I try to tell people all the time, and that is know the rules and regulations before you go into a country. Before you even step foot on a plane, wherever it is that you're leaving from going to somewhere else, make sure you know the rules and regulations. If you've seen some of the other videos on this channel, you'll realize I've had my drone taken at customs in Nicaragua, they took it and it really sucked. I'll put a link the description to that video so you can check it out, the whole story behind what happened there. You don't want that to happen. Let me tell you, it is the worst feeling when customs agents are sitting there with your drone and saying, you can't take this into the country. And they put it in a box and that's it. Well, there goes my drone. You don't want that to happen. There's plenty of information on the web about country's laws and regulations and all that good stuff. Just go into Google and type in drone rules and regulations in Nicaragua, and you'll see a ton of stuff pop up. Just start going through the different listings and see what information is out there on the country you're going in. Usually you'll find it pretty quick, if not, go into some forums, check out what other people are talking about flying in different countries. Don't wait 'til last minute when you're trying to figure this out. Give yourself a week or something. And if you're in the US and you're flying somewhere else in the US, I would say do the same type of research. Where it is that you're going, you might not be able to fly a drone. So if you're flying somewhere to go check out a national park, well guess what, you can't fly. So what's the point in bringing your drone unless you're gonna be outside the park doing something else, but if you're going just to go see like Yellowstone, there's a good chance that there's no reason to even bring the drone. Okay, the next tip I have for you is have protective cases for all your gear. So I put my drone in hard, protective cases. What's up guys, how's it going. This morning I'm off to the doctor's office to get some travel shots. Next month I'm going to Africa -- Kenya and Tanzania and I thought it would be a good time to explain the importance of travel vaccinations and how to figure out which ones you need to get.
When it comes to travel vaccinations there are the routine ones and the specific ones Hepatitis A and B are both liver diseases that the CDC advises most travelers get vaccinated for. Some others include tetanus, flu shots, typhoid fever and after that it gets more specific depending on where you're traveling others you may want to consider are yellow fever, malaria pills, rabies vaccinations, cholera, meningitis, polio booster shot, and Japanese encephalitis. And the directions I'm just going to tell you anyway but the directions are also on here. So you're going to let's say start tomorrow. Have one Tuesday, skip Wednesday, have one Thursday, skip Friday. Is this gonna hurt? Probably a little bit. But I'm pretty fast, right Patty? We're pretty fast. Ok I'm going to give you a little pinch. That one is done. Not too bad. Good, that's what Iike to hear. That one was easier. You know what, that was the tetanus. It's going to leave you with sore arm later. All right! Thank you so much. You are so welcome. That was easy. So I ended up getting a Yellow Fever vaccination, a flu shot, typhoid pills and a tetanus injection. All together it came to about $500. Including the consultation -- so it's not cheap. Once you get your shots your doctor should give you a yellow vaccination card like this one and you want to keep it in your passport because some countries will want to see which vaccinations you've had especially yellow fever. First of all, a little disclaimer here. While I've traveled around the world for the last 7 years visiting over 50 countries, I'm not a doctor. So if you want to get some travel vaccinations you need to go talk to your own doctor. For more tips about travel vaccinations visit my blog post linked in the description below. Visit the CDC travel website to learn specifics about what you need for which countries. Well I hope you guys enjoyed that video, if you did remember to give it a thumbs up, leave a comment below let me know what you thought, and don't forget to subscribe for more adventure travel videos from around the world. A very, very simple strategy can be effective, but more more so a short term. I just get in get a better profit and get out. I wouldn't continually use this strategy, because what can happen is if you get in a losing run, the King can go against you and, if you're, actually doubling your bets, which isn't a good idea, of course you can get in a big hole.
So, let's have a look at this system. Fail this one online as I have most systems now what we do here. We just focus on the outcomes of red or black Casinoslots. Ok. Now, if we're doing here, we're doing column bets okay, so it is placing units on the columns, so it depends on whether red or black is last hit done. So let's do an example. I think this case red was spun, so when read is actually spun, we bet on columns 1 & 3. So, when ready spun last, we always bet columns 1 & 3. We lost okay. Now, when we bet on black, we always bet columns 1 & 2, who actually lost that one we're just going to do flat betting for a while see how we go. So as we bet what happens is. Is you only get one return, so you really need to win 2 for 1 ratio to get back to where you were and to get in profit. So I black appeared again so again columns 1 & 2 on the black. Just repeat this process didn't win? It'S a black, so we repeat that same column, again, column, 1 & 3. You won that one 1 & 2 now because black appeared last didn't win, look like against save it again, it's black! So sorry, that's a red lasts. 1 & 3, the same I'll set its right again, black 3 2. So, as you could see, we're going up and down up and down so it can be a hard system to to come out in profit. Our zero doesn't help the situation of course. So if a zero comes, we just fit the last one red in this case, so we haven't really got anywhere at this stage. So, as you can see, you might want to try doubling your bit the martingale, but I'd only do a few times. I'D only do it if it lost the first time double to two and then double to four, and you could try staying on for to recover back to your balance or +11 a hit in profit, but that can be risky so fast for a player down and We'Ll we'll go for a while and see how we go, which is flat bedding you now it's fast-forwarded they're just to try and get in profit now with flat betting. What I'd suggest is once you're in profit, a few units, maybe three or four even five at the most. I would stop there and take your your winnings and go because, obviously, as you can see here, it's only one unit, I'm betting, so it'd be technically a dollar or euro. So if you're doing ten at ten dollar units or more obviously that's going to be profitable. Now that's a system there, as I said you can actually on a loss, you can double, but you can get in a hole. So it's probably flat betting is the best best way to go on this method. You got 24 out of 37 numbers chance of success. So that requires to so I've just got under about a sixty five percent chance of success. But when you win you're only win one unit when you lose, you lose two units. So that's always a case. The same is, if you bet it on dozens, I'm going to show you a lot of other dozens methods. Some are successful, but again with those type of systems. I would suggest you just just win a few get out. And/Or change your system and come back to it. Z Strain (Zee Series Trilogy)
by Rutger Klamor ASIN: B006BC00O2 Amazon Kindle Copyright © November 2011 329 KB $2.99 5 out of 5! ABOUT: When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth. Three days. Not much time. Certainly not to become a hero. That’s what Dee thought. Before the zombies. Before the dying. And the rising. What he would give to get those three days back. Z Strain. Book one of the Zee Series Trilogy. Full of all the gritty realism any hard-core zombie fan craves. You know what I mean. REVIEW: When God created Hell, He made it a tad too small. Over time it got really crowded down there… really crowded. The ranks of the damned found a solution to control their population. Cannibalism. And so zombies were born, and they’ve patiently waited for a prophecy to be fulfilled. One where they will have a bigger home. Earth. There are only three days to bridge the gap between hell and earth, and there is a heartless warrior who could save the world. Hell erupts on earth as a cold Watcher keeps his distance in the shadows, making sure all the rules are followed. Dee, an ex-military man, now a paramedic, has been thrust into a role that makes no sense to him: Would you believe your city was being overrun by legions of the walking dead? Dead that consumed the flesh of the living. Dead who later rose and joined the ranks of their murderers? You gotta admit, that’s pretty friggin’ fantastic. The Grim Reaper, demons, a succubus, vampires, and zombies… what more could you ask for in a story of hell and terror? Rutger Klamor does a fantastic job tying all of these evil creatures together in Z Strain. He provides the reader with some mind-boggling prose, and a sarcastic and demented humor I love. Blood, gore, and zombies combine to open the gates of hell. Because when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth. This is the first book of a trilogy, and I’m definitely looking forward to more. The Darkening Dream
by Andy Gavin Macherato Copyright 2012 ISBN 978-1937945015 392 pages It is 1913 in Salem, Massachusetts, and teenager Sarah is having dark visions that turn out to be warning her of future events. There are vampires being made, Egyptian gods that are very unhappy, a sorcerer who cannot be killed, and a warlock making deals. Of course, at first, Sarah does not know any of this. She thinks the visions are just her mind being overactive and playing tricks. That is, until she discovers a boy’s mangled corpse, attends the funeral of the boy, and then sees the boy seemingly as alive as can be after being buried- and a Greek boy, Alex, who can explain it all. The Darkening Dream is not your typical YA vampire story, as has become the standard fare of today. There is no glittering and falling in love with a vampire who denies his true nature. Instead, it is a story that maintains the standard lore of vampires, and foregoes romance for an ages old conspiracy that puts Sarah right in the middle of it all. Her visions have led her to learning and understanding the world in a way she never would have thought possible, and Alex has lived it long enough to know what must be done. Gavin has created a complex story that does not cater to the idea of vampires and demons being tortured souls who want nothing more than to break free from it all. Instead, he gives us a story where such beings have no soul and are out to survive by destroying everything in their way. It is not meant to comfort and pull on our heartstrings. It is meant to terrify us and see something in every shadow; to make us really wonder if there are older and darker forces at work that we will never know. In the end, the story has been woven in a masterful manner, and it is difficult to know who to trust. It brings in the conflict of religions in a way that is not often done so subtle, yet complex. The attention to Jewish mysticism, as well as that of Christianity, that was present throughout the book, served to create a certain amount of tension, as well as adding to the gothic atmosphere. The importance of religion in the story also served to explain the characters’ motives in a way that would otherwise not be as meaningful. Gavin has given us a dark and gothic story that maintains the complex storyline right until the very end. It is intended for the YA audience, but brings to mind the feeling of the world created by Bram Stoker or Anne Rice, making the darkness almost palpable. Although, at times, the description is a bit on the heavy side, the story never suffers because of it. Rather, it is simply to create additional atmosphere throughout. The ending may leave some saddened and disappointed, the fan of darker fiction will realize it could have ended no other way. Gavin has left it open for a sequel that will surely carry on the fine balance of religion, mysticism, mythology, and the supernatural that is so finely crafted in The Darkening Dream. Angela’s Coven by Bruce Jenvey
by Bruce Jenvey MuseItUp Publishing Copyright © October 2011 ASIN: B005W62FDM 546 KB It successfully manages to combine magic, mystery, devilry and philosophy, with humour, romance, witchery and hope! This book deserves that I write my essay about it. Reggie Sinclair, the British protagonist, is an ageing and jaded ex-Rock-Star from yesteryear, who suffered profound heartbreak at the loss of his true love, early on in his career. Disillusioned, disconnected and very much alone in his luxurious New York penthouse, he only becomes more depressed by dwelling upon the nature of a pact he made in his youth – a pact in which he sold his soul to the Devil in return for his incredible success, fame and fortune. And as he knows only too well because of the recurring visits of the Devil’s emissary, the Devil is eagerly waiting to collect. There is however, something more running beneath this odd but apparently simple plot construct. And that something brings Reggie into contact not only with a coven of modern-day witches, but also with a collection of Knights Templar, all of whom have abilities, knowledge and motivations which Reggie only slowly begins to uncover and understand. Mr. Jenvey draws his characters fairly well, and we find ourselves happily accompanying the affable Reggie as he travels ever-deeper into a looking-glass land where maybe, just maybe, he might find the help he needs to be able to snatch his soul back from the Devil’s collection-plate! Indeed it transpires there is much more than Reggie’s soul at stake in the infernal battle between good and evil which is always underway in this world. There are a few minor annoyances which should have been (and can be) corrected with better proofing (at least for the Kindle version which I read for this review), but nothing so dramatic that it really overshadows the feelgood nature of the charming storyline and the reader’s enthusiasm to continue with the journey. In closing, I have only kind words for this excursion into fantasyland which Mr Jenvey takes us on. Woven into the fantasy are elements of philosophy and real-life quandaries which give the reader pause … to think things like “What would I do?” or “What would I want?” if a similar crossroads were placed in my path. Harsher critics may choose to take issue with the overall “feelgoody” nature of the novel’s forces for good, but in my opinion that would be churlish. There is more than enough here to make “Angela’s Coven” a journey I enjoyed undertaking. I award it 4 out of 5 stars. |
