Make it affordable or kick rocks. If they can compete on price then I would much rather buy America but I'm not paying $8k for a less capable clone of a $2k DJI drone.
At work I like the idea of you making the same drone as DJI. Only different. Pat, I can't afford one of those. Can you think about an air 3 for the consumer market? Not the business market and maybe change the color from green to Blue orange. I don't care but if you're flying drones and you lose it, you never going to find it cuz it's green
I own and operate a very successful videography company. 70% of my work comes from real estate agents. The other 30% is shooting commercial promo videos. Golf courses, restaurants, etc. The real estate market is tough until you become the best in your area. If you are the type to only do what is required to get paid, forget about operating a business. The way you operate is more important than who or what you provide services for. You need to be hungry everyday to learn. If you are brand new, start out doing things for free. You will gain clients quickly. Once you begin getting high reviews and word of mouth work coming your way, then you start charging money. Dont start too high either, do not charge what established business charge until you master your craft. Follow those rules and your likelyhood of success is high. I am speaking from experience, i followed the same rules
So thermal drones hurt searches but presuming the person is wearing the clothes last seen in a social media post doesn't?? I like my odds with thermal better than assuming the person is wearing green because their last photo said so... They could have been stripped, They could be wearing something else, They could have put something overtop of that clothing, They could have gotten covered in something like mud that obscures the color... None of which makes any impact on thermal drones unless they are and have been dead for some time now.
If you are still watching HR 2864, it has now been rolled into HR 8070, which HAS PASSED the house vote. If you want an eye opening experience, look it up and search the text for "DJI". They are actually in 2 parts of the Bill!! The part from HR2864 is calling for the ban, BUT the other spot where DJI is mentioned is earlier in the bill where they direct the department of defense to dissassemble DJI drones to "look for" security risks. So to sum up, the part of the bill from HR 2864 demands the ban of DJI, BUT the other part of the bill asks the DoD to "look into it" and see if it is a problem!!! Did anyone else read it this way????
It makes me sick that people want to meet the FAA halfway and still broadcast their position if the general public cannot see them. To hell with broadcasting, To hell with the FAA. Every day we as Americans lose more of our rights and all we do is go along with it.
Step 1: get DJI parts. Step 2: assemble outside of China. Step 3: Load other someone else's software (hopefully as good). Step 4: Increase price 50% Profit Also, have your people secretly lobby against DJI to the government. We'll see how this all plays out pretty soon. DJI is the game in town because they have an army of engineers pushing the limits. This may not go well for us.
You guys have great info but stop selling and I’m sorry but the guy talks way too much before getting to the point. I’ve been watching videos all over trying to learn and I can sit through 45 minutes on anything else but not you. Not bashing just giving some feedback. I might be the only person that thinks that? Thank you for helping people
How the hell are you doing those indoor fly through? The only times I've flown indoors, my drone crashed itself and also was totally unresponsive as well. I tried to do one of those at a yoga studio and it straight up flew right into a wall despite having 20 GPS satellites connected What am I missing here? My drone even crashed outdoors as well just because I was in between 2 buildings. I just can't imagine risking the drone like that, even with propeller guards if the drone won't respond it won't matter
Y’all are spot on. But what you fail to realize what gives them the right to operate is maritime law and once they reach 30 miles off the coast of USA it operate under international law. Not the constitution.
What The FAA should do. Instead of making everyone of us . Use the remote id. Should go after those who illegally fly where there is no flying, like over government buildings, police activities , or over people private property and make them registered like a sex offender.and leave everyone else alone
The motherboard on my Anafi Ai literally died in mid-flight resulting in a complete loss of control. The battery eventually died, and the drone crashed. It was recovered and sent to a repair facility. The facility confirmed the motherboard failure. Parrot's administrative policy does not allow a motherboard replacement according to the repair facility. They were very quick to sell me a new drone! Good thing I had hull insurance otherwise there would have been a substantive financial loss. I reluctantly bought a second Anafi Ai only because I had neither the time nor the patience to research a new drone and go through a learning curve.
Hiding the pilot's position from the public and still giving it to the police exacerbates the problem. Every Karen and her sister will simply call the cops and the cops, who have no idea about the law, will come out. They will have no clue whether what you are doing is illegal or not and they will arrest your ass OR make you stop. No bueno.
This new law is the illegitimate love child of a train wreck and a dumpster fire. Did I hear you right? Should be broadcast to Law Enforcement? ERRRR! Wrong answer! First, LEO doesn't have the resources and manpower to micromanage this thing. Second, any information the citizen gives them can be used only to harm the citizen. It is a violation of the fourth amendment to require ID unless someone is breaking the law. That they theoretically COULD break the law if they wanted to is not grounds. That would be called prior restraint. You can't detain or arrest someone for something they haven't [yet] done! Further, the first amendment guarantees our rights, as independent citizen journalists, to public photography. As a society, we Americans are swamped, saturated with B.S. permits and regulations. We cannot let them invade our hobby!
Remote I.D. is a violation of the first, fourth, and fifth amendments and should not be honored or complied with to any extent. If I were flying a drone that required one, I would have to spoof all the data broadcast.
I don’t fly drones, I fly RC planes within line of sight. They’ll have to pry my transmitter out of my cold dead hands if they can find me. I don’t and won’t comply.
The first thing I thought of when I saw that ridiculous remote ID idea was that it's an infringement on our first amendment rights to freedom of press; in the same way that restricting public photography is the same type of infringement. AND it's an invasion of privacy too, with regard to its effect on the fourth amendment.
I hope the ban doesn't happen and I also hope Anzu succeeds. If DJI is banned, I think Anzu will get decent sales from the bigger drone companies like DroneUp and others at first. I'm guessing and hoping it'll just take time for the price to lower for the hobbyists and small drone businesses to be able afford a Raptor or if they release a whole different drone. Also, this is very wishful thinking, but if Anzu made a way for current DJI owners to take their drones to them and somehow detangle the software and other things from China, that would be cool. Otherwise I guess our DJI drones will be relics on our shelves of the drone industry.
