If YOU have to pay THEM, it's a scam. Real talk.

Congrats!!!!!!! :)

Thanks, guess I know what to buy, unless the Mavic 2 comes out(rumors say its comparable to P4P). Appreciate the quick response.

Question,as someone who is going to buy his first "serious" drone in the next month or so, what's your "minimum" accepted drone for these missions? P4P or Mavic pro and up?

I've been a member of AOPA before, will join again. Instead of having a bunch of separate drone associations, it might make sense for drone pilots to join AOPA en masse. They already have the necessary relationships with Washington, and if they see drone pilot memberships spiking, you can expect...

Was walking past a construction site in Tarzana, ca, yesterday, and they were using an I1. Last year, saw a guy walking around lower Manhattan, NYC,with a phantom, but he had it in a case, not deployed. That's been it,. Agree its pretty rare to just run into someone flying a drone, except for...

I am ;)

Would love to find out more about this. I signed up for dronebase but haven't done a mission yet. Don't yet have a drone capable of it.

...and this type of attitude is what I referenced earlier. I've had a commercial pilot tell me I was "wasting my time" last summer when I was taking flying lessons, working towards a sport pilot cert. Some people, like this poster, love to **** on those with lesser certs or those PURSUING lesser...

Well said.

On the "manned flight" side, I'm a student pilot, and I agree that having a practical drone test(instead of just a written one) would go a long way to giving this cert more respect. OTOH, pilots seem to love turning up their nose at "lesser" certs. Elitism. No one should care what they think...

I also got my 107 in August, will most likely get my first "pro" drone(not counting the toys I learned on) in a few weeks. Maybe get a spark in-between. Been studying the commercial drone market, and it seems that people are getting paid because of 1) the authorizations they hold(I've seen...

DJI could announce the rumored Mavic Air drone next week, teaser trailer suggests | TechRadar So, DJI has a new drone reveal Tuesday. If its a mavic air, basically just above a spark, but below mavic, does anyone think spark prices will drop thereafter? The suspense is killing me :)

Hey all. I'm a part 107 drone pilot based in L.A., just saying hello. Got my cert in NYC a few months ago, low-time pilot saving up for the P4P or a Typhoon H.I'm also a working Actor/VO artist.Nice to meet all of you.
