I thought the video was pretty good cause boy have I seen worse, what herein2014 mentioned I agree with but keep in mind that other agents & buyers will not see the short comings, just the amenities the home has to offer & I thought you showed that nicely. Depending on how much time is vested in the post work will determine what you charge and lets not forget most agents are cheap and want to pay as little as possible. You want to provide quality but have to consider how much time it takes you to make what you charge...is it worth it on a hourly basis? I myself have those same difficulties with indoor video, its the nature of the beast. I do videos once in awhile not very often, more photography cause that's my specialty. I have high end agents tell me all the time, videos are nice but it's quality images that sell the house, clients don't want to sit and watch a 5 min video, they want to flip through photos and move on, it's the world we live in. All markets are different and not all wear the same hat, other markets probably demand it or use Matterport cause its cheap, realtors love cheap. I focus on high end agents with expensive homes, that's where the money is, they'll pay for quality images and skip the videos at least in the market I work in. If I do a video I'll do exterior videos then mix with interior quality images & that seems to work for me. It looks good and you are able to see exterior views through french doors or sliders, that's what the realtor really wants in the end....the views, not a blown out video shot of the exterior.
As for the aerial footage high above the neighborhood I wouldn't have done that myself. It looks good but given the rules and regulations the FAA has in place it was totally illegal, and now that its on youtube it's documented with your name on it, there has been talk of going after people who violate the rules. They don't have enough manpower to do it just yet but they could hire contractors to go after individuals. If there is money to be made all-the-while promoting safety you can bet they will go after it. Making money, safer skies, and contractors get paid once the fines are paid, what's not to like about that, it's a win-win situation. You flew over populated area without a waiver (no waivers as to date have been approved by the FAA) and safety was at risk to people on the ground and property damage if the drone had a malfunction and fell out of the sky, if something did happen and there was personal injury or damage to property everyone would be lawyering up big time & you would be liable unless you have insurance, and they would also go after the realtor because they didn't check you out beforehand. If you are insured good for you, if not be aware of the consequences of your actions. I try to keep it simple and close to the house when taking photos and risks to a minimum. It's quality images of the home that sell the property not the aerial shots of neighborhoods 300ft high. Remember these are flying toys and at some point what goes up must come down. I take excellent care of my P3P, had it just a year now and when flying sometimes I've had crows try to hit it, turkey vultures, hawks, and seagulls, my P3P won the fights.....this time. A few months ago my motherboard burned up on my P3P, luckily I was just 5 feet off the ground doing some flight checks to make sure everything was in proper working order when my screen went black, I was lucky it didn't happen 150ft up in the air, it could have been a complete meltdown within. It was under warranty & repaired at no cost, I think about that every time I fly now.
Final Thoughts in short order:
Quality Images
Quality Video when applicable
Quality Product for the price
Quick Turn around time
Make Money (Don't spend to much time if you do profit goes out the window and that's why you're there right?)
Follow the Rules
Minimum Risk
And above all: Fly Safe
