I did review the VFR and Durham is outside of RDU's airspace. There is a Helipad at Duke University that I have to and have notified whenever I have flown there.

the 107.39 reg states people under cover are fine.....

Video permissions corrected. “busted regs....” and so I did. So I will just make sure I don’t fly “directly” over anyone that isnt under cover. I don’t want to be “that guy” but I will go right to the fence to get the best shot. I take safety seriously and am always situationally aware. As...

I’ve been hired to grab some aerial footage of the Durham, NC area for a montage and plan to get a similiar shot like the one in the video link below but during a game. To the best of my knowledge the only FAA TFR is no flying within 3 miles of a MLB, NFL, NASCAR or NCAA stadium that holds...

I of course thought of that after I posted but did see that they are accepting registrations for testing of course I don't know when those registrations begin, I have not called but I'm due to recertify before September. I'm still curious to hear how testing goes for anybody that does test prior...

it's almost 2 years later....has anyone taken the "Recurrent Knowledge" test yet and how did it go for you? I see that it is stripped down from the initial knowledge test (see photo) so I'm just curious how difficult it was. part 107 Knowledge Tests | DJI Phantom Drone Forum

this guy feels me

Yea I watched it happen in the video/film industry once everything went digital and was more affordable that literally ANYONE could buy a camera and call themselves a professional photographer/videographer and would as has been said here 'drive the market into the ditches". One difference here...

And I do get that but it's like any other business once the industry gets flooded with "professionals" that don't understand their value and under sell their skills it affects all of us.

OPINION/RANT: So I am finding myself a bit put off by these Uber for drones businesses like Dronebase and the new Droners.io (powered by PrecisionHawk). While I have been on 20 Dronebase missions (real estate/insurance) earning $1735 over 8 months and 2 Droners.io insurance missions earning...

So how do you upload maps for when you are not within range of wifi?

Ahhh, Ok I get it now. I was only viewing the road maps, seeing as how up to now I only fly with the drone in my line of sight (or at a safe altitude). I honestly never attempted to switch to sat view but I can definately understand the advantage.

Through the glasses. I made a video that I will post as soon as I have time to edit.

I used the Rochester's and was able.to easily maintain VLOS looking above or below the glasses sometimes with a slight tilt of my head. Looking through the glasses is pretty much useless for VLOS as you have said but it's so easy to look above or below. Looking down at the DJI GO screen is so...
