    Hello from Hereford

    Hi, hiring can a great way to go. In some scenarios you could outsource the work to someone else. Need to be careful though. But lets for example your friends wants to hire you, you could outsource the work to someone else. Depends what your long term plans are. If you make 10% out of the...

    Hello from Hereford

    You could also research how the machinery companies are using drones. For example, I have heard of a software that can record the volume of piles of rock. So let's say the site has lots of rock or material piles drones could measure them and update a central database. So the CEO can see stock...

    Hello from Hereford

    Hi, mining could be a fantastic opportunity. Can I make a suggestion. Phone drone software companies and ask them to give you lots of information and processes for using drones for the mining industry. Then present your friends with a proposal that he can't refuse. One that will save him...

    What is your prediction about the Drone Market? How much it will soar? Any Idea?

    Hi Alexander, It will surely become a huge industry. It will be like a domino effect. Once one engineering company sees that their competition is saving money by using drones they will all start using them. Are you looking planning to start a drone business?

    Controller Device Holder

    I have seen some people get items 3D printed. One guy on YouTube paid about $8 for a solution. Or you could try Alibaba. Everything and the earth on that site.

    Anyone Collect Retro Joysticks or Gaming Hardware?

    Hi, I have bought a Quickshot Skyhawk still wrapped in the original packaging in pristine condition. I have found some used eBay listings which date it from 1995 which sounds about right. It's in pristine condition like it could be brought from a store. The question is if worth anything to...

    YouTube Drone Pilot Channels

    Many aren't from DJI though. They are from small drone manufacturers. The drone isn't tested by the vlogger. If the vlogger genuinely liked the drone then fine but you need to know you can trust vloggers.

    YouTube Drone Pilot Channels

    I think a compromise is that YouTube designate a link for affiliate links and then put up a message before the video starts to make it clear that it is an affiliate video. But that might hurt YouTube so they won't. If someone buys a product and gives a genuine review that is okay but its one...

    YouTube Drone Pilot Channels

    True. Apparently if someone complains to the FAA the FAA will only send a warning. They have a strike system before someone is fined. But you do have to be silly to put illegal footage online.

    YouTube Drone Pilot Channels

    True but they are only talking about the good points. They are not being objective and some people think they are. If you watch an advert on TV you can it is an advert but on YouTube you don't if they are being honest or just trying to sell as much stuff as possible even if they think its junk.

    DJI FlySafe - AeroScope - Other Applications?

    Hi, Has anyone seen the latest video from DJI on AeroScope. Looks a clever piece of kit but I was wondering what other application it could be used for other than what the video shows. Initially looks to be for security but could also be used for disaster relief or monitoring a large fire...
