    AUTEL ENTERPRISE is Announcing its Made in USA EVO II Dual Bundles.

    That's nice for a very small percentage clients for a small percentage of drone service providers. The real question for me is how good is the software? Doesn't matter where it's made if the software capabilities/options are too limited. For Professional Drone Service Providers, software...

    Drone Delivery In The News Again (Amazon and Walmart)

    The other thing to consider is how is a fleet of drones carrying one order at a time more efficient for the company as opposed to one truck carrying 100 orders at a time? This whole concept of retail sales drone delivery just doesn't make sense in my mind. So the real question still remains...

    Drone Delivery In The News Again (Amazon and Walmart)

    Saw some articles in the news lately that always make me laugh, regarding drone delivery. I remember the last one I saw I think last year was the announcement of Dominos in India delivering a pizza to someone. These kind of things always get a lot of propellor heads all excited. Just has me...

    What Do You Charge For Travel?

    So what do you think would be a fair cost to charge for travel time in cases like this when the travel time can be 2, 3 or even 4 times the onsite time? Let's say your rate is $225/hour and you have a job that will take 2 hours of onsite time (assume no post processing). That's $450 total...

    Is Phantom 4 RTK a Joke?

    So I watched 4 videos and read a couple how to's and looked at the User Manuals regarding the Phantom 4 RTK and the associated base station. I'm sort of having a hard time believing what I'm seeing/reading.... Nothing I've seen or read shows the ability to place the base station on a control...

    Anyone Used A Parrot Sequoia?

    Testing a Parrot Sequoia and the RGB photos are terrible. It's not a drone speed issue as I tried even on the lowest speed setting in Pix4D Capture. When you have motion blur issues it's consistent throughout the image. This is the strangest thing I've ever seen in that it has what looks like...

    Auth Deviating From Facility Map Possible?

    Who did you submit your request through? Skyward or FAA Dronezone? Or? What's the point of canceling a fulfilled request? Wouldn't you just not use it?

    Auth Deviating From Facility Map Possible?

    At this point I have not found anyone who can confirm they received an auth to fly in any LAANC 0 altitude grids. I'm talking your common Class B/C/D airspace, not special use, Class E, etc etc.

    Auth Deviating From Facility Map Possible?

    I want to take some Commercial Real Estate Photos at 75ft in a 0 altitude facility map section. It's about 1.2 miles from an airport runway (class C airspace) but it's not in the approach or takeoff path. Now we all know, common sense tells us, if an airplane is flying below 100 feet where...

    Is FlyGuys a SCAM? Are you a Fly Guy?

    Seems there's a "new kid on the block" for the drone pilot referral directories. Seems like there's about a half dozen of them out there. I've heard from other pilots, all these services, the supply of pilots is huge and the number of jobs posted per week is very small in most areas, even on...
