Some points such as the software callouts being still tied to DJI code and not 100% fresh like they claimed seems to be a good point and shady if true. I'm just passing along info that wasn't posted in this thread that clearly applies. Obviously if a reply is provided by Anzu and other things...

Yes good point, sadly a lot of this is just marketing photos for private company use and not even being provided to the client so it is unpaid until we can show them they do want us to start including milestone photographs for their records. The DOT doesn't want to have to follow the rules on...

Thanks for the detailed reply @jaja6009 That will help me at least continue to push the Skydio over the Parrot. Yes, I am not a fan from what I see from Skydio and it's a pain to even get someone to discuss a few things. I think part of that is they want to spend their time on customers buying...

Just wanted to add this here in case others are not aware of some fairly decent points being brought up that may make it worth holding off on trusting Anzu to last long-term if you do work for government clients. Letter at the bottom of this website...

Long story short, we are still finalizing our options and a few things have diverted our attention different ways including the semi-recent US investigations into Anzu and it's possible closer ties to DJI than they let on. I come to just ask if anyone has experience with the Parrot ANAFI USA or...

Thanks, I will be looking into them for sure. Kind of leery at first to jump into a new unproven company, but I guess they got rights to build an existing proven platform? Perhaps software will be the only thing in question then for known quality and how much they keep up with it. Good thing...

I need some help looking into some reputable brands of drones, but of course the desire is also to try and be cost effective. I work in Texas and a lot of project photos will be of state DOT projects (TXDOT). Unfortunately they need to follow state DIR rules which includes a list of prohibited...

Anyone willing to comment on the database updates separately from the actual firmware and DJI Go 4?

I'd like to kind of piggy-back something here. Firmware updates have mostly been covered, but what about the DJI Precise Fly Safe Database? I recall reading that a lot of times it ends up limiting where you can fly (or even launch from) once you get close to certain boundaries/borders of...

Real life honest feedback is always welcome as are replies to get the other side’s opinion, this paints the best picture for the rest of us.

In the dam scenario as long as you are within 400 ft horizontally from it, then you can be up to 400 ft over the high point. If you have to back up more than 400 ft to get the photo you want, then technically it isn't following the rules if you are 850ft above the water.

Seems good to me, and I don't mind the long detailed answers (I am pretty much the same way!).

I had a similar thought cross my mind in terms of the paying for training by taking a cut from each project payment. Maybe it’s half upfront or some minimum and then the rest gets taken along the way. If no work is available maybe FDS actually forgives the remainder due after some time. I’d...

Are pilots paid by you? So the company pays you a higher fee so that you get a cut and then you turn around and pay the pilot, or how is your fee factored in? Is payment per job, week, month, or when?

Is there much need for East Texas? I am a 107 certified P4P owner living in Longview, TX and might consider looking into this further if my immediate area has a need and doesn't have many pilots lined up.
