WeTransfer is another option for sending large files to clients.

It was the kind without connectors (see attached photo). Apparently, the negative terminal on these types of batteries is the ENTIRE outside of the battery, only shielded by the plastic coating and sometimes a small rubber washer near the top. If the plastic and/or rubber near the positive...

I had an 18650 (Li-Ion) battery catch fire in my pocket. Luckily, it happened while I was (*embarrassed*) on the toilet and my pants were around my ankles. I screamed like a girl and ended up with second-degree burns on my foot and burned patches on my bathroom floor. As stated above, the...

Thanks for the insight into your preproduction process. I certainly helps to explain why your work looks as amazing as it does! Unfortunately, most (if not all) of the courses in my area are small, family-owned places with a tiny fraction of the budget of Erin Hills, so I have to price...

Good to know that there are legitimate opportunities out there.

Do you mean that there are national companies contacting golf courses all over the US to provide aerial photos/video? I've seen craigslist ads looking for aerial videographers and when you do some digging, they're looking to hire local people for national work.

I would think that pricing is tough to determine on a forum like this since different markets require different pricing. I'm fairly certain that it costs more to play a round of golf in LA than it does here in Upstate NY. ;) There are also different business models. Some people won't leave the...

I was wondering about creating a website (web development comprises 80% of my income) targeted solely at aerial photos/video for golf courses but I don't want to spend the time and energy if it doesn't look like it will pay off. It seems like having flyovers of each hole would be a great...

Fiverr is a great resource for voice-over work. You can find pretty much any style that you're looking for and the prices won't blow your profits.

On this forum (and many others) I see people complain about people selling their services for "peanuts." I would like to point out that there are a few factors that may not have been taken into account: The cost of living can vary hugely from place to place. The prices paid for rent/mortgages...

Great point James.

Your website looks good! The only suggestion that wasn't covered by others would be to give your logo a bit more padding on the bottom. It sits a bit too close to the content beneath it. Expanding upon Roadking's suggestion of trying to get local newspapers to do an article, you may want to...

I've been dealing with the same sort of thing with web development for the past few years with the rise of Wix and other "DIY" website platforms. I would guess that somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40% of those that say that they'll just do it themselves after talking price end up coming back...

I have flown indoors for a college. I filmed their pool, gymnasium, and inside their athletic dome. I have to say, I didn't like it very much. Very scary!

Thanks for the link. I wonder if they can do anything that we can't do ourselves. At the least, perhaps consolidating all of the reports in one location may prompt some sort of action.
