    Had my first crash today. I’m still learning and was flying my Mavic 3 Classic at dusk to get some sunset video. I was practicing the forward up view on a tall tree. Unfortunately the collision avoidance warned me due to low ambient light it wasn’t working. I was approaching the top of the tree and was one foot too low. It hit tumbled and almost recovered. It clipped a couple branches and tumbled to the ground. There were a lot of leaves and it landed softly. It appears it just damaged the propellers. It turned on and looked fine. I did not turn the motors on and I am not flying it until I get the replacement propellers.

      If you’re just doing it for fun/recreation and no other reason, then you’re fine with just TRUST. Any other reason (freelancing for a client, for instance), you’d need the part 107

    Kind of dampens ones enthusiasm for going to federal parks, doesn't it? I think we are now living in the golden age of hobby drones, for it will be closing, clearing the skies for the big money drones and those that take there test and pay the FAA shakedown! It's a pay to play racket with the FAA as the gateway for one can not make money with drones unless one takes the Part 107 test and then pay the FAA shakedown. Then about 99 % of the drone videos here on UA-cam are pushing DJI drones and since China makes all the hobby drones and much of the high end drones, banning Chinese drones and parts will clear the skies of hobby drones for those that will pay to play!

    Very impressive buisness Ryan has made using his m30t with spotlight and loud speaker 200x zoom many more features. If he shows up to a search, i am confident that if the pet or item is in the area, he will find it. If not, then it must not be in the area. I called him and he found a small piece that came off of my airplane and landed in a big field and he found it within 15mins and i would have searched for countless hours or days. Awesome interview 👏 ✅️💯

    The US corporation have no authority or business with what a free man is doing short of not causing any loss injury or harm. I would not consent to victimless crimes where the corporate entity decides to try to act as a man and bring charges. This is not possible under common law, just remember do no loss injury or harm and they can kick rocks with their statute policy & code enforcement, save it for the true slaves which is 97% of the people.

    if youre on a budget or just starting, buy used Phantom 4 PRO V2 (about 500-700$). It's a photogrammetry beast even still in 2024. And if you want to do photogrammetry and video only, pick Dronelink. You can automate almost everything, even shooting a facade, which helps a lot (I've been flying manually before)

    Clients don't pay for models, they pay for actionable data to make decisions on. While cheaper options allow you to 'make' a map or model, you can't build an income stream off of that. Being able to draw a straight line measurement is not strong actionable data. Conversations like this are frustrating because you are discussing commercial solutions without any discusion about professionals actually use them. Its drone fodder for brand newbies, but not professionals. A more advanced conversation would much more helpful.
