Videographer for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (new name as of 2013)


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

All UAV products are owned by me, and not the department, I am currently flying multicopters (DJI F550) and doing some initial testing for a proof of concept. The Department is at this point doing Baby Steps which is good. We have wide interest from all over the department for the project.
