There are ways you can purchase pre-made packs and then buy a 3D printed carrier that allows you to snap it into the Inspire 1. I'm new to all this so I don't have specifics but I saw the printed battery holder on the Inspirepilots.com forum. Good luck!

Welcome, I'm a 50-year-old who had the same dream and posted a similar thread earlier this week. Then I noticed that every drone forum on the internet is peppered with new guys just like you and me. There are often two or 3 newbies in a day with this same question (it was me 3 days ago, lol)...

Those sensors are nice, and 1/2 again more resolution as the P4 Multispectral! I should know more about the reality of my project tonight, 500+ multi-family beach condo properties under one management company. He wants simple aerial imagery and videography plus NDVI of entire grounds for each...

Thank you Doug, that is some great insight. I've been narrowing my mindset and trying to focus on areas that I feel I can make a business out of locally. Florida law isn't particularly clear and looks to require you to become a certified land surveyor before you can offer or make certain claims...

Forgot to add: I am currently flying a Mavic Mini and a homebuilt Autonomous Flying Wing (Zeta FX-63 Phantom with 3DRobotics APM 2.5 - older but still going strong). Looking into mapping platforms around $2K like the Autel Evo 2 Pro or similar.

Hi all, Jason Nowell here, I could use some career advice from people who are already working in the industry. I am taking my FAA part 107 test in a few weeks and can not decide where to focus my efforts after that. I have a lifetime of photography/videography experience as well as some pretty...
