    Client wants aerial pics for 80 cents each

    I think $225.00 for leaving the house with one's equipment to spend an hour and a half would be minimum. If employing technology such as drone mapping the price goes up. If flying in sketchy conditions; over large water bodies, in windy conditions, rain, snow... the price goes up.

    Client wants aerial pics for 80 cents each

    Hey, some of my best friends are realtors; but you're right. They were the worst when I was a photographer, the worst when I did web development and even worse when it comes to drone media!

    DroneBase App

    The app asks for permissions to access camera and photos, but to make and manage phone calls? Really? Can anyone think of a reason for this? My guess is they want to download your contacts.

    Anyone Good With Twitter?

    After 25 plus years making my living as a web developer, I can emphatically tell you that 90 percent of SEO experts know very little about ranking factors. Every one of them that we have hired had to be let go when we've found ourselves doing on the job SEO training. Do you think having meta...

    Quickest Way to Edit Videos for YouTube?

    Search for best or favorite video editor and you will see a wide range of suggestions. All suggestions revolve around price with FREE editors being very popular. I can't fathom a phone video app being desirable as video needs a lot of screen real estate during the editing process IMHO. Are you...

    Sorry, I guess nobody has one. I whipped this one up for a quick job: Dropbox - Sample Drone Services Agreement.docx

    Prop Experiment

    Polishing props is dumb IMO. A little texture inhibits air flow separation resulting in smooth and efficient laminar flow. Take the golf ball, a blunt flying object. By adding dimples and tripping the laminar boundary layers - reduces drag. Airplane wings and our props are less prone to...

    Collision avoidance on P4 Pro

    I keep it turned off. I find the frequent buzzing more of an annoyance than a help. Oh, and there is that flying into the sun thing where the bird just stops! WTF? Has that been fixed?

    Titles

    Well heck! <fumbles in desk drawer looking for card> Flash Alexander Owner NoCo Drones Phone Website I think I should have put in "FAA Licensed".

    National Parks

    Nobody wants the sound of a drone nearby when in a national park. I don't want the sounds of children, and I hate old people on the trail, especially those with walking sticks or heaven forbid a wheel chair. Just say no to cameras with flash and absolutely no tripods; very distracting. Oh, and...
