You may want to take pictures and video of you house and property so you have something to show prospective realtors. Even free should yield a benefit to you. Always ask for referrals.

I just completed my Part 107 recurrent exam. There was a topic in the training and on the exam where I disagree with the material. I presented this to [email protected] who told me that my interpretation is correct and they will be notifying the course writers. Here's the details: The regulation...

Both. They charge to become part of their "community" but there's supposed to be a sizable network of resources to draw from when needed. Things like RPIC, pilots, VO, editing (photo and video), etc. I actually signed up and paid for their seminar and got a couple of useful bits out of it...

It's a 2 day commercial leading into a high pressure pitch to join their community for a lot of money.

One more thought on this. Don't forget to figure your ground crew in your pricing. They need to get to the site and be paid for their participation.

Way to go Addie! I also recently started getting a manageable flow of paying projects. At the moment I'm focusing on marketing pictures/videos to enhance websites, FaceBook, YouTube and email campaigns.

You may want to consider a white strobe light on the bottom of your aircraft to improve VLOS.

Thanks for your comments Vic. While I did come away from the workshop with actionable items and found the presentations engaging, I felt (and told them so) that their commercial for joining their network was way too long, pushy and over powering. I am also concerned that the images for their...

Thank you both for your responses. Vic, can you elaborate? I picked up on several red flags during the workshop, hence my inquiry. Wavepilot, your suggestion has been my roadmap. I took the workshop to help me craft better messaging language, which it did. I've been dragging my feet getting my...

Does anyone have experience with the Sky Eye Network? I took their workshop on how to market your drone business which was rather informative. I even came away with actionable items. As expected, it was a lead into a sales pitch for joining their network of drone businesses. So I was wondering...

Thank you all for responding. There's a lot of terrific insights in your posts. I used Windows PCs for years until I got a MacBook from work. I've actually had 3 over the years. All the software I use runs on both Windows and Mac. I've been looking at using WebODM for photogrammetry which runs...

I'm looking at installing WebODM which now runs on the M1 in a docker container. I believe that DaVinci Resolve now runs on the M1 but still need to verify that. I also prefer Mac to Windows. Their integrated GPU seems to be quite good at handling video editing.

Thanks for the information. Why Intel and not the M1?

I'm in the process of buying a new computer to do my photo/video editing as well as photogrammetry and would appreciate your thoughts on Windows vs Mac. Mac: looking at a Mac Book Pro, M1 Pro, 32 gb memory, 1tb SSD, 14" or 16" display. Windows: This is harder to configure. I know I can get more...
