It will also give you experience taking photos around structures. Something to do in your spare time. You definitely want to get your part 107.
I self studied for the test using the faa study guide, youtube videos and Google.I've been a photographer for a long time, so the picture thing is easy for me.
Getting the 107 and more flight time is what i really would like

IDrone Base is great for all. I do wish the payouts were better, but I also think taxes are too high too. Being in a metropolitan area as I am, I'm very lucky. I have had several DB missions that were across the street from each other! And several more that were just on the next block over. When I'm out performing DB missions, I average over 3 per hr. I was averaging 15 bucks a mission in the beginning and now I'm around 10. That's not bad if you compare it too some of your typical jobs. Not to mention the fun factor. As mentioned though this will never "pay the bill" , but is excellent fill in work!
$10 per mission - that's kind of nuts for someone who is essentially hiring a professional drone pilot and ~$500 in equipment.
That means I'll have to do about 15 mission before I even pay off taking the 107 exam! Crazy -
I'm still going to pursue this as I'd like to give it a go
Yes ATM averaging, meaning every time I do a mission, I'm guaranteed 10 bucks. It takes about 10 minutes to complete a mission. If the houses were lined up, lol, this would be good money.
I wonder if once establishing yourself, you can stick to knowingly higher paid jobs for certain people.... that seems to me would be more worth it.
Id much rather establish a relationship with a business and be their go-to guy
With that being said, what are you all submitting for the pano missions? Completed panos or just tiles? If you're assembling them, is it through Photoshop or something else? Is it a full 360 or just the front of the property? I'd love to do those as well but didn't know what the deal was since I started with Dronebase before that capability was posted!

Width: 360
Nadirs: 1

awesome. thanksI use the same settings on my P3P.
The Mavic needs different settings due to the different FOV, the P4 I have read are the same as the P3, so P4P should be good too.
