Dan Robinson - Media and Publication Credits

I have worked as a freelance news cameraman since 2003, covering primarily weather-related stories for national news outlets. I am experienced in solo in-situ coverage of all forms of severe weather, including hurricanes, tornado outbreaks, winter storms and floods. Traveling long distances and enduring harsh weather conditions for an assignment is my specialty, one that allows me to get the 'money shot' that your production requires. In addition, I have a working knowledge of weather forecasting and storm evolution tailored for weather event coverage - maximizing the probabilities of being in the "right place at the right time". I also hold an active Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA (Part 107) for commercial drone operation. Contact me and let's talk about how we can work together on covering the next big weather event.

I also operate an extensive library of stock footage viewable at my footage catalog web site.
