If I need to fly in Mexico for a project, can I even do that with an Inspire 1 after their new regulations just came out?
Our question today comes from Brian in Illinois. He is asking about the very recent news that Mexico has come out with fairly light regulations for UAVs under 2 kilograms. His question though is what about the Inspire 1? Could he even fly the Inspire for any projects he gets in Mexico? Brian is asking this
What types of insurance are there for UAV coverage?
Our question today comes from Jacob in Phoenix. He is asking what are the different types of insurance coverages out there for UAVs/drones? This is a very important question as you need to be sure you're insured if you're getting paid to fly (especially). There are various "types" of insurance, so we go
What’s new and on the horizon in the world of UAVs, videography & cinematography?
"Flying season" is just around the corner as climates all around start to warm up. So we wanted to go through a question we get every now and then about "What are the latest and greatest things coming in the world of drones?" This is especially applicable as NAB is just a couple weeks away where many of
Did the FAA really issue a blanket “approval” for commercial drone use below 200 feet?
Today, in celebration of our "silver anniversary" (kind of), we are breaking a bit from the normal question format and instead addressing a recent article from Fortune. The article is entitled "FAA Issues Blanket Approval For Commercial Drone Use Below 200 Feet." So what's the catch? Is this really an
What are some of the best ways I can get my drone services advertised to get more clients?
Our question today comes from Pierre in Oregon, who is looking to turn his passion into profit. So he's asking us what are some ways he can get his drone services out there and pick up more clients? Once again, we have another great question, and one we have quite a bit of experience and knowledge in. So
When traveling with my drone, what’s the best case for it, and should I check it if I’m flying?
Our question today comes from Jim in Indiana. He is asking us when traveling with my drone, what's the best case for it, and should I check it if flying? This is a question we are being asked more and more by students as taking their drone with them is becoming not only more popular, but almost just a
Is it even legal to get paid for flying my drone?
Our question today comes from Wesley. He recently got out of the military and is interested in getting UAVs. But he'd like to know if it's even legal to get paid to fly your drone as a business. This is a great question and one that will get numerous answers because experts often see it differently. But we
Why does my battery last longer in lower elevations vs. higher ones?
Our question today is our first ever question from a female pilot. Her name is Tammy, and she is from NoCal (sorry, Paul, it's NoCal, not NorCal). She is asking us why her battery lasts longer in lower elevations vs. higher ones? Paul goes into great detail as to not only why, but the how behind it all. So
Can I legally shoot a drone out of the sky if it’s over my property?
Our interesting question today comes from Joseph in Texas. He is asking if he can shoot a drone out of the sky if it's over his property? With all the debate about airspace and who "owns" the airspace above a house, this is probably a question more people are thinking about than would care to verbalize.
How can I get a Plex 4K camera on a drone?
Our question today comes from Cody. He is a videographer and would like to know how he could get a Plex 4K camera on a drone? This is a very interesting question. The detail a camera like this will pick up is insane, and it's about 13 times heavier than a GoPro. So you'd really have to create a custom set
