    Looks like he hit the raised part on top. Probably didn't see it in the dark.

    Thinking same thing. With recovery you don't fly over water and you drop down as low as you can and as soon as you can. What's the point of resue if it drops 2ppft into water or a parking lot. No coming back from that.

    POLL: What do you shoot, 1080, 2.7, or 4K?

    I shoot in 4k and render in 1080. It gives you soon many more options during editing. Additionally, it saves a ton of time when rendering out. Besides that, even though 4k is out, there aren't a lot using it where these videos would be played. Most computer screens are still just 1080...

    Got a call from the local FAA - someone 'reported' me

    No, but the pilot can be fined. It is not the responsibility of the client, but of the pilot to ensure they are following the rules. Just like when you buy a plane ticket. It isn't up to you to check the pilots credili tials or aircraft maintenance logs .

    Or simply their name. The faa could pull the registration off that just as easy.

    Dronebase- is it worth it

    They will, when they ate available. I have learned that the more you do ($20 ones) the more jobs client missions may come your way. MANY of my client missions have come from a realtor seeing the pics I do lid on another house they were selling. While they may/may not have bought those, they...

    Dronebase- is it worth it

    I have been getting payout at just over 60% of the pan missions. The more I do, the more client missions I get now. They see tell pano/pics on one of their houses and it might be under contract, but they then order missions o. 2 or 3 of their other houses. I have also doNE a few commercial...

    Gut check time - what would you do?

    Until he has a flyaway, and it crashes on the runway. Hmmm. 10s of thousands in five es and a revocation of his certification (if he has one). Flight data on the recovered drone would show he took off and I irially flew in restricted airspace without authorization. I have requested, and...

    Can't concentrate flying when children are present

    Sadly,, this is not a kid problem, but a pilot priblem. They need to get over themselves. If you can't fly and answer a couple of questions then don't fly there. You need to improve your skills before you fly around people. This is a new thing and kids, and adults, are going to be curious...

    New way to lose your drone

    If you were referring to my post then you need to reread it. I did say lose them (in part), but read it all. We could effectively lose them if they become e heavily regulated and priced out of almost everybody's hands. Also, they could simply be made illegal. In the end, you are alright...

    New way to lose your drone

    Everything is fine with the aircraft. It isn't the aircraft, but some of the pilots that need upgraded. Many forget these are not simple/safe toys, but can actually do some damage to people and property. Pay attention to to your telemetry and aircraft and then respond accordingly. Not, be...

    Yea, and also free, versus dropbox.

    Delivery method and format

    I have had zero issues with Google for delivering panos (25 pic ones) and ~10-15 individual pics. There is a box you have to check to determine if the recipient requires a google account or not. I click that they don't require a google account and have had no issues thus far.

    Delivery method and format

    Yea, thumb drives or dropbox. Even Google cloud. They don't need an account.
