Hey guys or gals. Been using sUAS's for some years. Certified and insured. To make this short I have a person claiming that his friend who will be doing a job we cant do (waiting on the airspace authorization waiver), that he has a waiver to fly to 18,000'. Distance I would question with...

Nighttime 4yrs class G airspace.

I have the new 1.11 software. Tested it and it's been steadier. Lost some settings through the upgrade such as Gimbal yaw, but I can correct that. More warnings on farmers airstrips now though...:) (yes they are registered airports but not in use much if at all.)

I didn't see if this has been a topic so hopefully I am not dbl posting. Does the newest firmware for the Inpsire 1 x5 (1.11.xxxx) block your flight if you fall into the radius of these Medivac sites? The newest B4ufly does not recognize these as airports and permission is needed, but will the...

What you can do with a sUAS far exceeds the common model aircraft. Carrying payloads, precise flying at slow speeds, carrying a camera are the things that worry the "officials" A friend that works for an oil company sat in a meeting with"officials". Their main concern is stated above, I will...

This is a answer that could be way out there......but......I recently had many issues with my I1x5, mostly bad video transmission and a vibration in the gimbal area that was causing jello in my video. Wasn't all the time but enough to be a pain. I thought my rig needed to go back as a worse...

Any of you run into dropped video, gimbal vibration etc? I tried everything and thought the gimbal vibration would be mechanical..miraculously this firmware update made things better. Now I am stuck with NFZ's that technically are incorrect especially in class E enhanced airspace like shown on...

Nice rig, and great price..

If you want to fly outside of your own property which we know all pilots want to, REGISTER your rig. It's the right thing to do. One problem I run into is locally we are known for our business of standard and aerial photography. Whenever someone screws up or there is questionable work being...

It is the "tech" biz...kinda sucks. We might be better selling lemonade at the stand....:) I'm in it till the end or until the wife says no more...:)

I have to ask this. I like what you are saying but does a fire inspector have the right to overrule the FAA when you are in their airspace? Please I just want info on some of these ways of operating that I am reading here. You are right about flying OVER people but their has been input on...

So the procedures you listed are adequate to fly over people? I have to ask because I am trying to get a gauge on what is accepted and what is not. My understanding is a waiver to fly near/over people, besides all that is required within the waiver. I am just asking because of the opinions I see...

Truthfully the industry is still evolving. Those who work illegally will only get the bottom of the pot jobs. Any REAL company will not risk the illegal operator. The negative side is I am finding those REAL companies sometimes buy their own rigs and do the work themselves. Were looking at...

I was asked to gather images of areas in our community. The area is an island and has 3 airports within 5 miles class B and D airspace that almost intersect the flight areas. One airport is enhanced E outside the D. Waivers will have to be applied for. There are about 15 locations. The pay is a...

Understand and there was no thought on put down. Totally agree with what you said. That's why am not camraing my rig, even if I do, not until I have the basic course which is 2 grand through Monroe Infrared, and their proposed sUAS course following. I do have to have a handheld thermal camera...
