I was contacted by a Crash Site Reconstructionist the other day. He must have seen my web site. He wanted me to fly over a section of highway where an accident had occurred. He wanted me to capture images for him to load into Pix4D. I explained that I had no program to fly my drone (Phantom 4...

Thanks again BigA107! I was going to ask where you came up with or found the above information, but clicking around more myself I found this: https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/model_aircraft_spec_rule.pdf Finally! It's a PDF from a link on the FAAs web site Interpretation of the Special Rule for...

Thanks again BigA107. I'm on the same page as you here. Again in the case of the Mine Safety Training facility, I'd like to be in a better position regarding my knowledge of all the rules and regulations and tactfully present them to whatever authority, but stay far away from a dispute which...

Thanks again so far everybody. I do not dispute that I am flying under Part 107 even though I am not getting paid. However, can you point me to the FAA rule or regulation from which you draw this conclusion? I've looked high and low and all over the place in the FAA web site, but cannot find...

Thanks BigA107 and everybody else so far. Certainly, I would never dispute the owner/controlling authority about flying FROM their property regardless of airspace control above it. In the case of my Mine Safety Training facility, they were okay with the concept of me flying from their property...

Yes, thank you so far tcope. Matter of fact, I just realized having my sUAS Certificate of Registration would be one good component of appearing (and acting) within compliance. I just dug my old one out of my wallet and printed out a newer one which I will have laminated. I'm searching the...

I'm starting my own "drone business" beginning with aerial photography with an eventual eye toward mapping when ready. I've got what I think is a nice web site started and am padding it with images and videos. Here if interested: Home Page/Portfolio I have my certificate for Remote Pilot...

Okay everybody, I thank all of you for taking the time to look in and provide your constructive comments. I've learned a lot in a short time. As I mentioned, I purchased a DSLR camera and wide-angle lens (and tripod). I really wanted to keep it inexpensive at this time as I don't really even...

I know little about this, and I don't dispute that some prefer accompanying music and some do not, but I wonder how Facebook can know when one stops listening to music (that's embedded in a video such as we're talking about here). I don't think I really listen to ambient music in videos...

Thanks P3Pdancer. I have the sharpness in my camera settings in my P4P+ turned down to -1 I believe. I learned that in a video on YouTube some time ago. This reduces the effects you speak of. I filmed at 1080p, 80fps if memory serves, but I've had just as good results with alias and miore in 4K...

Thanks again everybody for taking the time to write and provide suggestions. The learning curve is very steep here. I've learned much up to making my first real estate video of my own home (in the original post) and learned just as much afterward from all of you here. I'm humbled that there is...

Hello dkeberhardt. I have an Android Samsung Galaxy S7. Yes, I've always been amazed at the quality of the images (given good lighting, holding the camera still). I have a basic photo editor program in my pc. For most of the images I darkened them, increased color and sharpness. But I can see...

Hello rand49er. Thank you. Yes, I thought about the traffic driving down the road when I was filming with my drone. On the Point of Interest shot I just kept letting the drone circle and was going to use a segment when no cars appeared, but I filmed it around 9:00 in the morning when there are...

Thank you. I did speed up my aerial shots, but maybe too much (?). I'll look up that Ken Burns effect as several have mentioned it here. Thanks again! Tim

Yes. Impressive - especially you edited a screen shot! I can see the difference (darker objects in my photo have more detail in your enhanced image). Not wanting to invest too much at this early stage, but I can see the value in a full image editor program. I have manipulated the images in my...
