    Real estate pay hits rock bottom!

    Good point about search and liability. I Good idea to add the link, even on your site. I wonder if either dronebase Thumbtack , would never join either certify 107 pilots? Perhaps their books should be audited or subject to a class action suit by legitimate operators.

    Not happy with DNG files from X5s (still photography)

    Yes, the D810 is a beast, but a darn friendly one if you treat it right - will reward you all every time. I guess you said it best, it is about knowing the limitations of the platform and how best to use it. Its not just the cost of the Inspire2 but in winds aloft conditions, things can go...

    Not happy with DNG files from X5s (still photography)

    Hi - I am also a frustrated professional photographer, shooting both the D750 and 810 platforms and wanting to take that experience to the air. While on the cusp of purchasing an Inspire 2, I am wondering if it is a fools error for photography and should get mainly for video which I also...

    Inspire 1 or 2 for photography?

    As a professional photographer, I have some of the same questions however, some additional thoughts and comments Given the kind of platforms you likely use, My most used platform is a D810 and I don't have an expectation of seeing the kind of dynamic range in the X5 or S, at least for some...

    Phantom 3 Pro camera vs Inspire 1 V2 camera?

    Actually have two main needs (high quality still photography and video) As I look to use for work, certainly a P4P would be fine for Real estate however, not for video or film project, that is I know where an Inspire 1Pro or even Inspire 2 is the better platform - to your point I get the P4P...

    Inspire 1 v2.0 or P4P

    ACHdigital I have both, sold the Inspire 1 kept the P4P. Image What may I ask motivated you to seek the Inspire? I always try not to purchase older, call it legacy technology which is how I see the base I1, yet also don't like closed-end systems and how I see the P4P, e.g. lack of...

    Phantom 3 Pro camera vs Inspire 1 V2 camera?

    Interesting that if you had to you would keep the P4P over the Z3 and make sense. While a different camera, I am going back and forth on if to purchase a I1 Pro or P4P. All things being equal, the I1Pro with the X5, will give me room to expand and better stability in winds aloft conditions...

    Best Firmware and GO?

    Hi - Have you checked out AOPA insurance options? Given their background and support for PPL holders, seems like a great resource in general

    Inspire 1 v2.0 or P4P

    My reply certainly did not intend to be negative or pointed, just more aware myself how flying is a complex endeavor, be it pilot or UAS pilot. There is almost an entire chapter in the Jeppesen book on what is referred to as situational awareness

    Inspire 1 v2.0 or P4P

    Certainly as I went through PPL ground school, I came to realize so many factors go into stable plane or UAS performance and stability during flight and descent.. Your golf course decent reminded me about descending flight and the weight of the aircraft which increases airspeed also creates...

    Inspire 1 v2.0 or P4P

    Certain good to hear about AP stability - know LiPo batteries have their own requirements overall, anything about the I1's worth noting? That is the axis on which I am working through in my mind, go long with I1 or perhaps Pro and have room to upgrade or go the other route which will be cheaper...
