    Helicopter orbiting over car accident has video of drone at same flight level.

    Helo traffic here in MIAMI has been known to transition throughout the area (skirting around MIA) to fly at 700 AGL. I've called the MIA tower multiple times complaining they are below 500 AGL but the tower always insists they are at above 700 AGL.

    Emergency Bridge replacement - construction progression video for client

    Nice job, you spent a lot time on site and in the edit room and it truly shows the amount of work you put into for the final product, well done. ? I hope you were appropriately paid for your time and effort.

    "Must be nice flying toys all day" - *sigh*

    I consider myself very lucky. I've flown drones for over 15 yrs, long before the quads were even thought of. I started RC around that time and thanks to my grandfather I have a place on the lake in spring/summer/fall and fly my electric 87" wingspan Cessna on pontoons almost everyday without...

    Is anyone finding success using sites like DroneBase and Droners.io to find jobs? Pros/Cons of these services

    I was never happy with Dronebase, I was one of their original pilots. They were very meager on payouts. You have to be a DJI owner which I never was. I did several missions for them but the risk reward became apparent once they got bigger paying out pennies on the dollar. Move on, let them fail.

    DroneBase App

    Not sure about all that, I've been with Drone Base since their start up and never had issues with them.

    Anyone flying a Compliant Aircraft

    That's unfortunate for Canada for now. The FAA started out that way in 2014 with the 333 exemptions allowing the pilot to only fly the requested airframe and stated it in the exemption. By the time they put together the part 107 in 2016 it was non specific.

    Got reported today - kind of distrubing

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's a shame the government in your area would waste your time and theirs on an event as trivial as this. This is a great shot of your granddaughter and her beautiful environment. Drive on with your normal routine, chalk it up to someone who is very jealous...

    Ola from MIAMI

    I try to fly everyday for training and generally for real estate, landscape/cityscape panoramas, construction and the occasional roof inspection. I have six 3DR Solo's and have been on the Solo forum since it came out in MAY 2015. I'm very excited to hear from other fliers and platforms about...
