    Drone finds missing girl

    It's good to see positive media. Most seems to be negative. The most recent I've seen is a drone went down near Flagstaff, AZ. and started a wildfire.

    More TX Pilots Needed for Telecom - Also Other States for Telecom, Power, Golf and Mapping

    Thanks for the info. I'm looking into the 107. I have liability insurance as a member of the AMA. If things work out on my business plan I'll update my equipment. I'll keep the P3A of course as a back-up.

    More TX Pilots Needed for Telecom - Also Other States for Telecom, Power, Golf and Mapping

    Looking at the minimum equipment investment it's a bit of money to get involved at your level. I'm just flying the P3A right now. Are far as licensing and insurance is that up to the individual or does it fall under your companie's umbrella. My interest right now is to get the FAA license and...

    Drones in Real Estate: Pricing and Contracts

    I've flown quite a bit around the Destin, Florida area and it's unbelievable how many NFZ areas are down there between MOA and the local airport. The same with Birmingham, AL. I wanted to fly around a local monument called The Vulcan and be able to capture the city below it but there are just to...

    Drones in Real Estate: Pricing and Contracts

    " WHY DO WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO READ CHARTS AND WEATHER REPORTS" Funny you should mention that. I've asked myself that and similar questions. I was talking to a friend and telling him about the FAA license procedure and I told him you would think I was going to be flying a 747 full of passenger.

    Drones in Real Estate: Pricing and Contracts

    I looked at the service agreement. There's a lot of ground to cover legal wise. If long distance travel is involved (at least one night or more on the road) I'm not sure how to word that. Let's say you go on-site and determine the lighting would be better late day of early morning for a...

    Drones in Real Estate: Pricing and Contracts

    I agree. Unfortunately I have nothing to share at the moment except some still shots. I'm still trying to get into the video editing. I've played around with different programs but I haven't settled on one to really try to get good at. I'd love to hear what video editing software others are using.

    Drones in Real Estate: Pricing and Contracts

    I glad you brought up this topic. It's exactly the market I'm aiming at. I still need to get through the FAA license procedure but I'm not sure where to start. I have a feeling it's going to be a nightmare. How did you go about it? I've been involved in photography in some form or another for...

    What do you Charge for Drone Service

    So funny but so accurate. Everyone with a smart phone now is a professional photographer these days. At least in their mind. I'll have to admit I've seen some great photos from my son's iPhone. Indoor with very balanced lighting and color correction not needed. As far as drone stills I still do...

    What do you Charge for Drone Service

    Great topic. I have the same questions. With regular photography I pretty much know what my market area averages. With drone real estate photography I don't know where to begin. My market might involve overnight travel and delays due to weather conditions. That's a lot to factor in when giving a...
