Namaste! Thanx for sharing this kind of VIEW of something SPECIAL! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER \\\//

Very awesome video. Great editing, great shots. awesome encode. It's always good to stumble across someone that not only has respect for the event but can capture it and deliver which such good quality. Again man, good job.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Tugrik. I was not able to be there this year due to breast cancer recovery, but I was very tuned in to the live feed and the energy. Your video brought me to tears. Namase'!

One of the most liberating experiences of my life! Camp Fusion Valley.

I am still a student skydiver and have not got my solo licence yet. Some day I will be skydiving into the Burning Man camp with some of my skydiving friends at are drop zone that have already skydived into the Burning Man. Blue skies to all you skydivers out there.

Thank you, Tugrik, for flying over our little ant hill! Super cool to see it from top down. Big

Great video, thank you so much for the gift. Being back in the default world is a lot easier with things like this to watch.

Excellent! A new view of Burning Man. Thanks

Absolutely stunning work. And this song just went into my iTunes library.

Sooper Koolness, thanks for the birds eye view. The gifting keeps coming!!

Seriously gives me chills watching this. Also it hurts my brain trying to comprehend how big we are.

Great shots, looks like a lot of fun flying around.

So fun to see where you were at a different perspective. We all know it is really big, but it is great to see it from the air.

Wow. I'd never really gotten a feel for just how -big- Burning Man is. Fantastic video! It really makes me want to get my own quadrotor and cam.

This is the coolest Burning Man video I've ever seen, fantastic work! The low-light of the H3 Black is amazing - I have the Silver and the artifacting and distortion in low light is significantly above that of the black. Looks amazing, can't wait for more!

You captured the bier bike!! We were the bar with the blue canopy by the front left speaker at Distrikt!

We only really flew about 6 times from camp, and just a handful of times carrying the craft out to the playa on the back of my Camelback. The TBS Disco is a tiny thing and a lot quieter than the monster 'air-crane' octos and big hexacopters. If I was above about 30' you'd probably not even know I was up there. I saw a lot of DJI Phantoms (also tiny, but white!) and bigger hexes/octos, but I didn't see any other TBS craft, oddly enough. I'm sure some were there, though.

I have been wondering for a long time what it is really like at BurningMan..this is the only video that I have found that really gives a true idea...the angles and heights you fly at really gives a perfect perspective. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope to see more. If the rest of the videos you show are giving us a true look at BM then you may have just given me the push to go next year...again....thanks.

Nicely done. And thank you for being respectful of large crowds and the Temple. I look forward to seeing your finished video.

This has been on my bucket list for years...really want to take part in this..

Thanks! I had hoped to bring a UAV this year, but was too swamped with work to get it ready. This video is the best thing I've found to try to convey the scale of BM. Great job! I'm sure I saw you flying overhead many times.

Great work, Tug, Burd! Had no idea just how vast the population was for it.

thanks for doing this! lovely way to remember the burn!

TBS Discovery Pro, from Team BlackSheep. It's got a bit of a non-standard setup on it though: 700kV motors from Century Heli, RCManChild 30A ESCs, 9x5 Graupner props. Most of the FPV side is from ReadyMadeRC, and the long-range control is DragonLink.

You're very welcome, and thank you. My goal was to get stable, clear 'circle around it' video of the major art installations, like you see done of Center Camp and the Man in this video. Wind and health issues (nasty cold went through camp) cut our time short so we didn't get much; maybe next year! But I'm glad what we did get could bring a smile. :)

please have that ready for next year, that sounds amazing!

i can spot my camp in the very beginning. : ) this is awesome - looking forward to more!

Your vid put me right back in the experience. Blessings to you and your project!! :)

Great video of Burning Man.

Thank you for a beautiful video. What a burn it was.

that is fantastic, agreed, peaceful, well done with all the technology....like, like

nice. please keep them coming. nice sound tracks

awsome .. greetings from the netherlands

works perfectly with the sound! sometimes magick just happens!

Never lost command; stayed above 50% RSSI at all times. Flew from base camp at 9:05 and L. Farthest point reached from there: 3:00 and H. RSSI at 68% at that point. I could have covered the entire city if I had been more willing to stay out to my battery's limit. No specific altitude restrictions except on Burn night (did not fly at all on Sat or Sun). Tried to stay over roads or open play when possible. Had ground chaser crew for landing safety.

those little choppers sure kick up a lot of dust.

Now THIS is the kind of technology BM needs!

Interesting video; cool perspective. I was at Burning Man for 24 hours. I came to work the medical clinic. I was completely unprepared and really didn't know what to expect. I was told I'd have a place to sleep (nope). Tried sleeping in my car only to cook in the desert sun. Decided it was better to go home. :-(

While I have "Return to Home" GPS functionality I was flying primarily by sight. The streetgrid at Burning Man is so well laid out that it's extremely easy to use for visual navigation. The UAV used in these videos only has a minimalistic on-screen display; no "go this way to home" indicator for the pilot.

Wow.. Have always heard about Burning Man but never went. Still don't think I could. Not a desert girl at all. I do admire the people who do go! A boat load of people there for sure!

Wow awesome video! Well done! Greetings from Ireland! :)

Awesome video dude. One day I'll make it across the ocean to experience this.

looks like district 9, can't wait to go!

Check out the whole album. Both albums by Aeroplane are great listen-to-while-work-or-drive fodder; I highly recommend!

Did you see our project in previous years called C.L.I.V.E.? It was an Iridium Flare tracker made with a Spartan Xilinx III and a Gameboy Advance. Big archway with countdown sign, 85mw green laser, all solar/wind powered. Also a fun astromy sky-search tool/toy when it wasn't counting down to the next flare. :)

Awesome video man. I'm going there next year for the first time and trying to visualize how it looks like

Awesome thank you! This video makes me miss my first burn already! I love that I can spot my camp Music Savages! :) Cant wait to see the rest of the footage!

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

amazing vid man looks like deadly buzz

Mine was unlit save for the single blinking Naza status light (green, rarely sometimes red). I never had time to fly the fully RGB LED lit hexrotor I brought -- that one never left the car! :)

Thanks man! Much appreciated! I guess I have a lot to learn to be a burner. Namaste!

Nice job. It's not just the aerial footage, but I can see a lot of work/creativity in the editing. This is no simple go/pro strapped to a heli/quad home video. Keep on.

Really liked this video, thumbs up. Cheers from Sint Maarten

Cool video; cool, perspective. I was there for 24 hours. It was an interesting experience that I wasn't prepared for. I came to work the medical clinic. I was initially told a place for me to sleep would be provided. Nope. I was on my own. Sleeping in my car didn't work as I was cooking in my car. After a day I decided to just go home. :-(

Great Video, I'm adding a UAV to my list of new toys.

can’t wait to see the shot u had during robot heart fri morning! hovering over the crowd then took off into space! then came back down and went face to face w/ lee bur ridge! thing was freakin us out! thought was aliens a haha

Cool video! Thanks for sharing!

Very well done.

That's fantastic! Great job

Being a long-time burner, I value the Temple's peaceful vibe and didn't fly my not-loud-but-still-buzzy UAV near it out of respect. There's a few peeks of it at a distance in my other videos, but nothing directly overhead or too close.

Hope everyone got there tickets for 2014, can't wait to go HOME.

Excellent, I'm very much looking forward to you not being there next year.

Figured I should post a copy of my BM2013 Aerial Video (UAV) here too. :)

fantastic thanks for sharing!!!

Very cool! Love it.

True, but there are rigs allowing you to adjust camera distance to compensate for that (look up the "1/30th rule"). Plan to do that on my plane soon. Right now I'm using a cheap 3D camcorder, flying it through the hangar and nearby...trying to talk some coworkers and Army folks into doing a "Harlem Shake" 3D video from a quadcopter.

So Awesome!

Excellent, thanks 4 sharing #peace

Yes, 1.3GHz@1000mW Tx with Circular Wireless RHCP antennas from ReadyMadeRC

Yes, for the night shot I went up and hovered above our own camp for about 30 seconds flying line-of-sight. I didn't feel comfortable with the pilot cam's performance in that low of light so I brought it right back down and made no more night flights. Just wasn't safe enough to do more than that.

That was Center Camp itself. Just big tarps, not solar cells. The scale is hard to tell because that's the only shot where I used the GoPro's full 'wide angle' mode. It's huge.

beautifull man... thnk's

Me encantaria ir al festival....Alucinante

Just like a regular city, there are streets and addresses which make it not as difficult to find your way around

In keeping with the spirit of Burning Man, please consider foregoing the commercial before this video. Thank you.

There were at least two pilots with those, and a winged craft from prior years.

Wow !!!! I didn't know it was that many people

This is really impressive, you got another side of it and I really like it especially those art cars. Thanks for sharing! Here is my version of it...a little shorter but still sweet. Let me know your thoughts

WOW That was great!

Amazing...

nice footage,

the hive has awoken

Some, but yes, not as much (or so it felt). I had plans to take similar aerial shots of more of them but had to leave the playa early.

That one wasn't me! I wouldn't fly right in someone's face without it being done in cooperation/approval with the folks involved. The closest I got to Robot Heart can be seen in the video above, when I flew down the street next to their camp while not many were home; you can see the white flags. :)

Great vid. I am planning to go

beautiful. love it. i saw many drones that week and i knew the footage would pop on here sooner or later. i'd still like to know who was flying that drone at night with the crazy aerial manuevers.

Be glad I didn't fly my hexrotor (known as Trundlebot). It was an art project that was not quite finished enough to employ this year. Had flashing police-like lights and a speaker. It was designed to hover near people and shout "IGNORE ME" loudly, as a statement on drone-based government observation. :)

great video...

Definitely wasn't me. I did not fly around the temple at all out of respect; I've been a burner since 1996 and know better. And big installations (like the Man itself) I stayed away from on burn nights, as well as shot from more of a distance to be less disruptive. My UAV is tiny enough to strap to my backpack and makes little noise; the point is to be unobtrusive, not a flying lawnmower. :)

Thank you! However, this was quickly patched together while sitting in my camp with a headcold on that Saturday. :) I wanted to do something better beat-mached and edited but by the time I got my act together to do so, this had hit 20k views so I didn't want to change anything and fall off folks' radar!

Nice One!

Yes! Was this little drone capturing the burn too? I think I saw it out and around on the playa. I love this video and I love you for sharing it! Can't wait to see more footage!

0:37 it must be pretty funny trying to find your tent or caravan during a sand storm

love it!!!

super cool!

COOL!! Yes, more please! :) )'( :)

nice video!

Drone rules at B'Man specifically forbid flights over/near the Man during the night of the Man burn. I was following the rules. That's the same reason I don't have Temple pics; against the rules. Besides, I wanted to respect the mood and feel of the Temple and not fly my buzzy little toy over it.

Cool as an Iridium Flash! =D
