Lol, you say you are 64 like you've made it to 100, C'mon man, really? tell the same thing to a 80 or 90 year old dude and watch his answer. You got a long way to go bro.
For the guys living in rural areas like myself. Talk to livestock ranches, game reserves an hunting ranches. They pay a group of cowboys (though usually already working for the ranch) to search with dogs and find 1 cow or multiple. The dogs run in and find the animal and run it out to be roped. Use the drones with thermal cameras to search for missing livestock or to keep track of game population per acre. Using anything flying on any type of game is very illegal if used wrong. So check with your state's regulations before a game warden stops you. Also to check hog traps on big farms that might have 10 traps and dont want to spend time on a side x side checking each one. The mapping for this might work great also.

Hey Brett! I'm really interested in seeing a video about drone inspections! The reason I'm getting into drone piloting is to open a surveying and inspection firm - I haven't narrowed down my business plan, right now I've just bought an entry level mavic and begun studying for my part 107.

Min 15:40 That Spanish though!!!!! Nice touch man, love the attitude!! For those that didn’t get it he said “Always forward, never backwards” I think that’s the right translation. God luck with the Chanel man!!
Personally, I love the Mavic 2 Pro. If you wanted a drone that's a little cheaper, you could go with the Mavic Air 2... or the even cheaper with the Mini 2, which comes out next week. What and how exactly are you trying to shoot?
Yep, better make sure you are a licensed drone pilot if your RUclips channel is monetized and you are uploading the videos to your channel,.. glad I got my FAA 107 sUAS license. Just gotta keep building the portfolio and getting the word out that I have the talent, skill and tools for the job. Thanks for the inspiration,..
Really depends what type of clients or video you're shooting, but yes, it can improve your production value and creativity. And most FPV pilots who get hired for commercial work get paid as much as Inspire 2 pilots because of the sophistication and degree of difficulty it takes to fly an FPV drone well.
Here’s a comment that most likely wouldn’t be replicated 🤣 The drone in the background is displayed in such a classy manner. My eyes are drawn to it everytime. Kudos 😊
I have a few questions 1:) don't see any update videos of you talking about mapping inspection. 2:) So pretty much this drone business is about hustling jobs to get hire? 3:) You talking about the test where can I study for drone licence? 4:) Isn't Yamaha a have a helicopter that spray pesticides over farms.

Hello Bluecavemen, 1:) don't see any update videos of you talking about mapping inspection. Been working on a few of my drone courses, so that video won’t come out until next year. 2:) So pretty much this drone business is about hustling jobs to get hire? There is hustle involved, but it’s where you look and also your marketing/business skills that allow you to get 5 and 6-figure jobs. 3:) You talking about the test where can I study for drone licence? You can study for the commercial drone license test here: courses.thedronepilotpro.com/p/part-107-pro 4:) Isn't Yamaha a have a helicopter that spray pesticides over farms. I'm guessing that a mapping drone. That’s crop spraying, which is different from mapping, though they are in the same field so to speak. Mapping allows pilots to know where to spray. 5:) how do you get a job over seas? By looking at your default video on this? That’s too big of a question. Depends on what you want to do, and where you are located. 6:) how do I find a drone person who would like to rent my website to help him/her build client on finding job I don’t understand what you are asking here?

Is there a drone that can fly longitude/latitude for large properties? When looking for acerage to buy, I found that there were ones that were really overgrown and could not be easily toured. Using the longitude and latitude flying a drone and showing the boundary and property would be helpful and I think have a market. What drone, if any does this? Thanks

What do you think about the DJI air s with the 1'' sensor? 5.4k 150 mbit 7 mile range ? how does that compare?
The Mavic 2 Pro has much better image quality and the Phantom 4 Pro is still best. But for the price, yes, the Air 2S is probably the best value.
