Please "Yelp" your favorite or least favorite LAANC service suppliers. As far as I know, they're Airmap, Project Wing, and Skyward.

I'm the first to admit lack of knowledge when I'm in unfamiliar territory. As I take one step at a time, I still confess I have yet to construct a pilot's manual full of flight checklists, contingency plans, etc. Having said that, I want to have these, particularly emergency procedures...

Thanks guys! No I had not gone that far to start pricing out all he accessories. But, this is great to hear. I wasn't aware that the brightness was adjustable. I was so fixated on different models offering different levels of brightness, that I simply had this notion that they were fixed at...

(Side note, how do you take people?) To what @Dr. Ifly Drones said, this would open up a door to the question: If the Ultra bright only lasts 1 hour, what does the bright last? One hour is NOT a long time when you consider our remotes can last at least half a day. For a full day shoot you need...

Thanks Travis. This kind of insight would be ideal. I question objectivity when it's only an Ultra Bright. It's more likely to justify one's purchase than it is to find someone willing to admit they purchased more than they need and regret it simply because they wanted "bigger, better, more."

Hey all. Can those who can speak to whether or not it's worth having the Crystal Sky Ultra Brightness versus High Brightness? I've done a search on this forum and only found many speaking to them loving their ultra bright screens. No one has had both, used both, and objectively mentioned if...

Hi all! I do not yet own an Inspire 2. Almost did, but a job fell through. When I invest in my business I invest for the future on things that don't have fast update cycles. I currently use the 12.9" iPad pro. I purchased a very clean, almost OEM attachment so that it fits in the mounting...

To be honest, if you're not looking for bragging rights and prestige, why not consider the Phantom 4 Pro? It's a great camera and sensor above the Phantom 4, and it's capable of shooting 4K/60. It's a fraction of the cost. And, it sounds like for what you're doing, the Inspire 2 is complete...

Hi all! I'm curious before I consider purchasing the X5s sans DJI lens... Are the aftermarket Olympus lenses fully functional and auto focusing just as the OEM DJI MFT lens that comes mounted on the X5s? Any insights/recommendations/thoughts on skipping the OEM DJI lens and getting the M...

Thanks for the response so far. I'm specifically asking about if you could only have two lenses for aerial cinematography, which would they be to start off? To clarify, as a "tertiary" cinematographer so to speak, 35, 50, 85 are your "money" lenses. They - and that breadth of focal range -...

I [edit: WILL BE BUYING] the X5s, sans a lens. The Olympus 45 is a given. A question for cinematographers and experienced filmmakers: Considering that a majority of shots are done within that 35-85mm prime range, is it worth getting the 12mm? I'm an experienced videographer and photographer...

Why purchase this lens then? Is this a common problem I haven't researched yet on the forum and the internet? The purpose of purchasing the balancing rings is to stabilize the gimbal. You can't accomplish that with this particular lens and balancing ring? Can you clarify what you're referring...

Thank you Nick. I reached out to a couple of the vendors this morning.

Hey Jacob! I'm in the same boat you're in about to make a purchase for a job. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Hi all! I posted this in my welcome message as well as I'm a new member for those who read that already. I always try to give more than I take. Thus, I apologize in advance for coming right out of the gate with an urgent "ask" of everyone. Once the dust settles, I will begin contributing a...
