I'm Nicholas, a Colorado-based engineer and artist. I design custom cinematic drones, write open source software, and teach STEM through FPV and aviation.
Off the sticks, I host Craft and Process, a podcast about makers, their work, and businesses.
On amateur radio, I volunteer as a storm spotter, feeding reports to the networks that keep our communities ahead of severe weather.
Sub-250g FAA Category 1 builds cleared to fly over people, high-speed chase rockets for cinematic pursuit, and everything in between. Whatever the shot calls for, there's a quad in the fleet to match.
Fresh cuts from the channel: cinematic FPV, build logs, and field notes from the air.
From an early Chicago network to today's conversations with artisans and makers. Long-form audio and video about creative practice.
Selected coverage of the work from outlets, podcasts, and publications.
Get early access to flight footage, build logs, Betaflight configs, and the in-progress work that doesn't make it to YouTube.
