    Y’all missing the point saying how it’s so expensive to start and he’s not even working. All I know is he took a hobby he liked, found a nitch, saved, worked and made more money than I’ll ever get flying drones. Then is kind enough to share the information for free on how to do it. Also he never once said the word easy in the video. Keep up the great work man!

So....I'll keep plugging along until they are licensed. Having both a Civil and survey license helps ensure you have work when the economy crashes. Having the drone and software adds another tool to the toolbox! Nowhere near as tight as GPS or a total station but it's okay for dirt shots!

    I do this for a living and I'm not offended by this video, but this platform tends to oversimplify these things a lot. Its worked out great for me largely because of right place, right time, with the right connections, a collaboration of people with the right interests, contact with the right clients, and access to loans to buy the initial equipment. You don't need much schooling (but MAN would it make the data processing easier) You rent out the equipment to the clients for each job, and make your money back eventually, but you also have upgrade your equipment, find/buy insurance, deal with a TON of troubleshooting because its a new industry, and don't crash the drone with $30,000 LiDAR equipment mounted on it - that'll set you back. And that's just scratching the surface.
    Running a successful business is difficult and complex - who would've thought?

But NC seems to just have a board that let tech outpace them and are trying to cast a broad net to stop all of it without clear direction. Hopefully it'll get narrowed down to something reasonable.
