Recently I purchased a DJI Phantom 3 Standard from Amazon Canada and after excitedly waiting 10 day's or so for it to arrive it was not functional right out of the box. Of course being a gear nerd I was very disappointed by this and decided that I would just make an attempt to return it to the Amazon reseller.

        I would like to invite you to this weeks featured aerial artist, Dirk Dallas. Dirk is the creator of the blog FromWhereIDrone and his wildly popular Instagram account @dirka. His mixture of Top-down aerials and portrait work is very inspiring. Check out a few of my personal favorites below.
