I saw some old threads that several people said Dronebase "doesn't pay that much." Like what are some examples and what types of jobs on average? Is it like 80% Real Estate Shoots and 20% other stuff like roof inspections and mapping? Like what would the pay be on average for say 30 minute...

Selling my Flir Vue Pro 640 (30Hz). Almost exactly same field of view as the stock Phantom 4 Pro RGB Camera (9mm vs 8.8mm). Including the regulator for independent external power, battery and GoPro style adjustable mount. Flir Vue Pro - 640 @ 30 Hz / 9mm - 436-0016-00 Infrared Thermal Drone...

I'm seeing a yaw drift when running flight lines with automated software including DroneDeploy and UGCS so it's not a software issue. This is after compass calibration and appears to be doing it at multiple altitudes. I've seen a few other reports of this but have not found any conclusions...

On the standard P4 controller (not the P4P v2), is there anyway to display the video output simultaneously to a second android TABLET (not a computer monitor/TV)?

I was talking to a pilot the other day who had a crash where he was flying in Arizona, it was 96 out (stated ambient operating temp of the Phantom 4 Pro is 104). And the Lipo expanded and ejected. He thinks it must have been due to the temps. Seems like not all LiPo batteries, even from the...

Free Free is only good if you have a decent chance of getting a job. Otherwise you're wasting your time spinning your wheels. How are potential clients finding that website? They're probably not.

That explains while they have their own app and robust website.

Dronebase sure seems to be much less visible on the Internet compared to Droners.io. Droners is a "race to the bottom" marketplace with a high supply of Gold Rush Drone Pilots poised to make their riches in this skyrocketing market, LOL, who get so desperate to get one job, they'll do it for...

Looks like enough of the FlyGuys pilots are getting tired of paying them a monthly fee for little to no jobs. I wonder how many paid a year's worth of fees to help pay for FlyGuys' online advertising and DroneDeploy/Pix4D business subscription, and didn't make their money back? Is their a...

Well I think it's widely known that without at least one control point to establish the correct ground elevation to base your map off of, the absolute elevation readings will be way off (and yes, you need more than one GPC for decent accuracy across the entire map.) But let's think from a more...

There was reports last year that the P4A/P went from storing GPS altitude to storing barometric relative altitude above ground relative to takeoff point. It appears to me that the altitude being used by Photoscan from photos taken by a Phantom 4 Adv/Pro is currently indeed the GPS altitude...

Seems there's a "new kid on the block" for the drone pilot referral directories. Seems like there's about a half dozen of them out there. I've heard from other pilots, all these services, the supply of pilots is huge and the number of jobs posted per week is very small in most areas, even on...

I think the OP wasn't inferring Golden Hour is never a good choice for a variety of situations just that it can easily be misused when placing to much focus/importance on it. Just if you are talking residential real estate marketing, there are many cases with homes in fairly wooded area or up...

I've read multiple threads over the past couple of years with changing information regarding how the P4P records altitude. There was talk DJI went from GPS based to Barometric Altimeter Based. And there was additional talk that it was now storing the same altimeter altitude reading in two...

I know I'm trying to rekindle an old thread hear but I read that the altitude deviation from the Phantom 4 getting warmer is most pronounced early on in the flight. This graph only shows the deviation over a 10 minute interval? It would be much more helpful in my opinion to see the deviation...
