    $1500 just flew away and kept going

    Well I was hoping for a happy end by page 3, are you going for a long walk now you have an idea where to look, a good set of 20x80 Konus binos will come in handy for this mission (I have 2 sets just for this, cant use them at the same time :) ). We need a good result here.

    Phantom 3 Professional - Crashed into Lake

    Just saw this below, I'm going to try two at first, I'm really not sure if they would be hardy enough but shall see and don't know if they have already had a post on them. They seem cheap, maybe cheap isn't good. How to track your bike in case of theft, using your mobile phone? | Techie Fans

    Legal drone shot down by neighbor

    Man Shoots Quad Some things are hard and one can even have a different point of view from others, not here. Man is an idiot and this can be qualified, no thought of 3 seconds later, lets keep it real here there is no room for discussion (not even a little bit)

    P2 Stolen

    A customer of mine is buying a P4 after my recommendation, he said "you can have the P2 if you want it, I said "yes" as one would. It turns out it was last seen in one of his buildings where it was kept in safe keeping sitting on a floor ever so slightly exposed. My question is can it be...

    P4 vs. P3 Comparison Thread (Title Changed)

    I've sent the DJI advertising email off to my customers, one wanted a recommendation from me and needs it within two weeks. Are they any good, no known issues etc I thought the wife would be good and that didn't work out so well.

    1715 ft dronie

    I think a better effect would be a reverse shot, but still pretty good. Maybe a vignetted shredded light shot to give that star trek warp look) but hey :)

    The FAA has a PUBLIC search tool that allows anyone to look at your info!

    My wife babysits in some of these million + homes and surprisingly enough they have nothing except a red lounge suite and retro chrome/nickle lamp stands, more than half of them. They seem to all have a telescope for some obscure reason she says. Just saying.

    The FAA has a PUBLIC search tool that allows anyone to look at your info!

    I have found over the years that a perceived normal progression of "what is going to happen now" (chicken little as another member points out) stemming from an event or in our case the ownership of a Quad just doesn't happen. A logical progression that would lead to a demise of the situation...

    Drone for commercial use

    Just thinking as an added service, you can buy outdoor stationary cameras (I have sold four of them myself) so when a plantation is found you place them, these work, I set them them up for a single shot and 4 second video on motion detect. They write to a SD card and we have caught a few...

    Drone for commercial use

    Well that sounds like a good earner, I would do that. This would be a slightly risky proposition so would charge accordingly, don't think cheap and write in a few provisions for potential damage that may or may not occur.

    Drone for commercial use

    By the way monitoring "weed" isn't a business it's an illegal enterprise. :)

    Drone for commercial use

    "Ok but what about inspections for an electrical company" What are they after? are you talking about tie offs on demo sites And were you really talking about monitoring drug growth "weed" I dismissed this, I think you are talking about gorse etc monitoring on farms?

    Drone for commercial use

    Is that the slang "weed" or standard weeds (must be my background that has to ask). Here I believe it's $5000.00 per hour for a helicopter but I may be out of touch these days, that sounds like a pretty good score you have going on. Do ask them if they simply want the SD card or if you have to...

    Drone for commercial use

    Thinking on this, what is a 1/2 hour job, it must be a quick drive, film for 10 minutes and give them the raw SD card on site, ?? really If we are going to charge for a "job" then lets call it a proper job, we film we edit, we do stuff :) or we are just playing and or cowboys. The uninformed...
