    Upgrade time.. Inspire 1 Pro or....

    I get that point pal, but it's a very unlikely hypothetical situation, what sells the job is the portfolio, client list & evidence of completing work to a high standard.. in that respect, someone with a Hubsan would win the contract over a S1000 if there were a gulf in quality of the...

    Upgrade time.. Inspire 1 Pro or....

    Mostly decided on P4Pro now, I am single operator, producing photography, property or promo videos for marketing etc and occasional planning, Google map overlays.. the P4Pro seems to win in every dept apart from looking the part, but the portability, quicker deployment and better camera of the...

    VR Headset ??

    I'll take a look, but getting P4Pro now.. apart from Inspire looking more boss-like.. p4P wins hands down on every other dept... will get hdmi for controller and run some gogs from that [emoji1303]

    VR Headset ??

    About to get an inspire, would love to run the 2nd controller/litchi setup for VR.. my second controller would be my spare P3P controller which I'm told will be compatible for this, but would it work fully? Are there any differences to the Inspire controller (apart from the legs-up ring)?

    Upgrade time.. Inspire 1 Pro or....

    Yes... I would to to hit the i2 right away.. but that is for later.. need to get something to increase capability now and i2 just isn't on the table.. by the time I've bought the craft, battery set & storage etc I'd be looking at twice what I can get an i1 pro for .. esp as people are...

    Upgrade time.. Inspire 1 Pro or....

    Hi Gang.. looking to upgrade my P3P which I've used to get my business started... looking at the following.. with the caveats.. P4P: great camera, 4K 60fps etc (think shoot mainly at 24), price for capability, object sensing, speed etc etc (as you all know of course!) or.. Inspire 1 Pro...

    UK Fast Track Course needed, contract pending !

    With respect Ed, the previous post was about getting specific advice about the availability of a temp PFAW or similar, and -that- question was answered.. Very different to asking for NQE recommendations some folk did answer along the 'use another contractor' route, but that wasn't the...

    UK Fast Track Course needed, contract pending !

    Will have ground school complete tomorrow, with night rating Ops manual nearly complete. So will be sending off paperwork to CAA tomorrow evening/Thursday am. Just a matter of waiting for them.. Which isn't looking great but will hassle the crap out of them till it arrives

    UK Fast Track Course needed, contract pending !

    Hi Guys, I'm in the fortunate position f having a major civil-engineering contract awaiting my PFAW, so I need to get it underway as soon as possible. I need an all-in-one course, that cover production/assistance with Ops Manual, training and the flight test immediately after the course...

    UK Temp Permission before full granted?

    Your absolutely right Mike, my apologies for setting a sight panic amongst the residents ! (MrDrone !) 90 Days is for NQE status, the PFAW is still quoting 28days.. Thank you for noticing, checking that it's took a huge weight off my mind..

    UK Temp Permission before full granted?

    Bad news MrDrone.. CAA website states 28 days normally but currently taking up to 90 days for granting the PFAW.. Which is why I started this thread.. It's going to cripple the growth of our industry if they don't take on some more staff and get their collective sh*t together. :/

    UK Temp Permission before full granted?

    10-15m Monopole for aerial shots until PFAW, I should be able to clear this with the contractor, no CAA involvement.. job done? I would be willing to take PM's outlining prices for 1 flyover video of a 6.3km road length HD video, would accept 5-10 videos that I could stitch & post process...

    UK Temp Permission before full granted?

    Not at all mate, that's why I came here to ask.. So my only option would be to carry out the work for free until PFAW arrives, and adjust the remaining contract to account for the losses in the free period... That way I would need no further insurance as would not be operating on the site...
