As we do also. We are nitpicky with our editing and quality of imagery/music production making it obvious to the client their money was well spent.

When you consider working with realtors schedules, you have little choice on time of day with your shoots. My statistics indicate nearly 90 percent of my videos are viewed on mobile devices. Those in the market for a new home aren't giving a lot of consideration to the art quality of your video...

I see a new thread coming titled "Max distance before I lost my Phantom".

Some of the opinions stated here will change when a B-737 collides with a Q500.

I'm out of breath reading this. Not because of the nature of the story but because of a lack of periods in your text. lol!

I get it. As long as I don't mind the continuous motion of wiper blades in my video I can fly in the rain, that is if my controller doesn't short out.

I don't get it. What's the purpose? Is the rain kept off the lens?

I definitely understand the necessity of using AGL reference for acro flight.

FAA waivers are available for commercial applications. During the flood of 93 the St. Louis area was under a TFR. I was granted waivers for photography with a Cessna. Obviously, this was before drones were available.

I agree with the above. Just to clarify, my reference to barometric accuracy was from what I know about airplanes. They have what's called "sensitive altimeters". You are correct referring to the inaccuracies of barometric measuring in consumer drones.

I just received my P3 4K back from Drone Nerds having decided not to have work done. They returned the drone with the firmware updated. (They forgot to remove the sd card as proof). I took off from a street in front of a home I was shooting. While aloft I walked to the back yard when all of a...

The variables of atmospheric pressure are not a factor when all aircraft set their altimeters to the SAME local pressure reading. The atmospheric pressure may change with distance but all aircraft attitudes will change with this pressure plain if they set their altimeters to the same local...

On the contrary, barometric altitude is more accurate than GPS altitude. All aircraft use barometric altimeters as primary altitude reference which is above sea level. Radar altimeters measure above ground level but many aircraft do not have these.

I can't believe I'm reading this from a former pilot. Altimeters are set to barometric pressure, not zero. This gives you an altitude readout above sea level.
