    Best laptop for drone video editing?

    I’ve been all Apple for 13 years now. I’ve had many an iPhone and IPad and the same iMac and MacBook Air for 10 years. Since getting into the drone thing, I’ve been using my son’s gaming laptop to edit with resolve. Worked ok, but with only 8gb ram and a Nvidea 1050 it struggled here and there...

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    Cool stuff guys. I appreciate the input. I went back to the computer today to see about some cropping to fix composition. I’ll keep all this in mind moving forward.

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    Thank you. I actually thought the same after the fact. I may reshoot that because as boring a subject as it is, working on the same thing allows me to see the impact of better technique more easily.

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    Thanks for the advice. I’m finding in my research exactly what you stated. I need a mix bag of talents/skills and equipment. On the drone end of things I’ve had it out to practice only 3 times now due to the winds around here. It’s an amazing tool, and I’ll continue to work on my skills there...

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    All very good points. Understood. I thought about the break even comment after I posted that. I’m a pilot by profession and get really irritated with the Will Fly For Food concept. Also get annoyed when I work with someone who says they don’t need the job and just do it for fun. I worked hard...

    Off Road electric 1/8th scale. Fun toys.

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    Thankfully, I’ve got 14 years flying at my current company, so fingers crossed I’ll still have work on the backside of this mess. Multivista and the above industrial ideas sound really interesting. I’m really just looking to make enough over maybe the next year to say it paid for the drone...

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    I know little so far, really I’d be interested in anything but real estate. Commercial real estate may be interesting. The idea of getting harassed by people in the neighborhood while trying to get shots of a home isn’t too appealing. I’ll do it though as a learning tool.

    Really worth it to buy a drone for commercial purposes?

    I’ve had my 107 for a little over year, but no drone as of yet. Each time I’m about to pull the trigger, I back off due to all the regs and restrictions which I already deal with as a pilot. Buying a drone strictly as a hobby seems like more trouble than it’s worth. With that out of the way...
