Davinci Resolve is free and if you’re willing to put in some time and watch YouTube videos you can figure it out. If you run into an issue generally you can google that and you’ll get an answer.

Most of the work that I do is for lower budget TV commercials and documentaries. I'm shooting that work with a regular camera and then also getting overheads or establishing shots with the drone, so there's not a lot of drone work. These clients tend not to have drone liability, so I'm trying to...

Nice! Do both of you carry liability insurance. Usually my client has insurance, but sometimes I do some smaller jobs where they don't. I don't do too much drone work so thinking of hourly insurance.

I would open the video with a short montage with music of all the locations, leading into a VO of the intent of the video and possibly a bit of history of each building and what Dan Powers suggested. 6-8 minutes is pretty long for a video just showing exteriors.

I got my 107 by watching Youtube videos and taking practice tests. There's also an App by Prepware called Remote Pilot. It was $5 when I bought it a few years ago. Lot's of practice tests in the app that are very helpful..If you just Google part 107 practice tests there's so much good...

I need to fly next to Thule Airbase in Greenland. The client has gotten permission to fly there from the Air Force. I've unlocked the Geo Zone around the airport, but the agreed upon flight path takes me very close to the runway. Is this a situation where I have to submit a letter to DJI for a...

I use the iPad mini 4 with the Hoodman & it's the best. I rarely use the extension, just the square box is enough. It fits perfectly on the iPad.

Litchi is 3rd party software that allows you to fly waypoint missions. It does a lot of what the DJI software does and you use it in place of the DJI software to fly your drone.

Was it the Phish show in Atlantic City Some other drone video from the concert. In the comments they talk about seeing the Inspire.

I live in Langhorne, and get out to some of the NJDUG events on Meetup, some are only 1/2 hour away from me in NJ. If you ever get near Philly you can fly at Belmont Plateau or along the Delaware River.

if and when you take the test, it’s easy except for the questions regarding flights over people. Do the study course and screen shot the categories of flights over people and you can refer to those and pass easily. For your shoot, just don’t fly over people. You can probably get enough shots to...

Not an easy business with a lot of competition. I've talked to roofers who have their own drones to do inspections. A lot of people out there with drones, they are easy enough to fly, using them for work. Who knows if they are licensed.

I might suggest that you start with a used drone that you won't be discouraged if you crash it or get it stuck in a tree, Stay Away From Trees! Maybe a Phantom 3P, I just saw one on Ebay for $199 with many extras. I would suggest that you try to find one on the PhantomPilots.com website as I...
