Fall Colors of the Assabet River Wildlife Refuge, Sudbury MA, Drone Footage (Full Flight)
I flew the DJI Inspire 1 from Willis Pond in Sudbury Massachusetts over towards the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge on 10/11/15. Fall colors have bled into the park, bringing wonderful reds and oranges.
With the Inspire 1, I typically film in 1080p with 60fps. The 4K resolution option is interesting, but the low frame rate (24-30 fps) severely limits the speed at which you can rotate the camera without making the image choppy, and it also limits nearby translational speeds as well. The 60 fps options in 1080p and 720p are both pretty good, but more FPS (100 +) would be better. I know the Hero black 4 can achieve these higher frame rates.

Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge from above
Can you believe this is near Boston? Only 25 miles from Boston in Sudbury, MA, the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge is 2,200 of land reclaimed by nature.
In 1942 the government claimed the land for an ammunition depot and forced the current residents to move. Now the land is returned to nature and includes more than 15 miles of trails open to the public.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Spend a rainy Summer afternoon at The Wayside Inn Grist Mill. This building is the first working mill to be built solely as a museum. Commissioned by Henry Ford began in 1924 by local workmen preparing the waterway from Grist Mill Pond. It is built in the style of mills that operated in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania and in the Midlands area of England.

Memorial Forest in Sudbury MA, Eversource Power Lines Project, DJI Inspire 1 Pro Drone Footage
I fly from Sudbury across Memorial Forest towards Hudson along the abandoned MBTA railroad tracks where the Eversource Electric Company plans to clear cut the forest in order to erect tall and ugly high voltage power lines. This strip of forest runs through several protected forests and wetlands, as well as many neighborhoods in Sudbury and Hudson MA. I flew the DJI Inspire 1 with a Zenmuse X5 camera from Sudbury MA on 3/22/2016.
Visit to get involved with the community to help prevent Eversourse from clear cutting this strip of forest that passes through one of the last large unabated forests in Massachusetts.
