nice!

[@BendigoAerial]

Thanks 👍

[@JohannesNielsen]

Very interesting, I am building out my own Aerial photography and video platforms with non DJI equipment as DJI is banned in the areas that I will be flying in.

[@BendigoAerial]

Hoping that ban doesn't come to Australia. Building your own drone will be awesome 😍

[@Gobikepacking]

Thanks for the video . Would it be possible to make a video about find customers ?

[@BendigoAerial]

Yep, I've been meaning to do one. I get this request a lot. Will get on to it.

[@DronesinAZ]

Excellent video! I would love to get into the business

[@BendigoAerial]

Thanks, Joe - You should give it a shot.

[@courtneysavage7845]

What is the thing called that you use to keep your batteries warm that you showed in the video?

[@BendigoAerial]

My legs 😊 but you can buy warm packs on ebay that keep batteries warm and safe when it's cold.

[@optiondrone5468]

how much would you charge for the lake survey job near the airport?

[@BendigoAerial]

Depends on the airport, controlled/uncontrolled. Permissions required or not. Size of the lake. Usually around $15 per hectare.

[@couchpilot12]

Could you please let me know roughly the start up cost is?
I would think the majority of Drone operators are self employed but it’ll still be good to see the costs.
Thank you in advance

[@BendigoAerial]

I started it with $5K - That was to cover drone Insurance, OH&S requirements, certifications and compliance within certain industries, software like adobe premiere pro, lightroom and photoshop, uniforms, communications and small accessories for the drone like ND filters, SD cards and Telstra Internet. I already had 2 good drones, so that's not included in the $5K. Nor is the RePL certification which was about $2.5K at the time.

[@truevegas]

I have a RePL, currently doing my ReOC. Could we work together?

[@BendigoAerial]

We work with lots of commercial operators throughout Australia. So for sure, contact us when the business is up and running.

[@truevegas]

@BendigoAerial Thanks! I'll be in touch. Great video btw. Liked and subscribed 👌🏼

[@krishandealwis2123]

Hi Chris, are you a Sri Lankan?

[@BendigoAerial]

Yes, of course. 🤣

[@mohammadshoeb2138]

Is there any course in UAV in Australia for international students?

[@BendigoAerial]

Check with a company called AviAssist - they may be able to help. But I dont think been an international student will be a problem with any UAV/RPA school.

[@mohammadshoeb2138]

@BendigoAerial I want a long-term course 2 years so that I can learn everything about UAV

[@BendigoAerial]

@mohammadshoeb2138 Yes, search for certificate in aviation remote pilot. Available at tafe and uni courses.

[@mohammadshoeb2138]
