Is it cheaper to builder a larger drone myself or buy one already completed?
Our question today comes from Brett in Illinois. It sounds like he is interested in building a drone and not only asks if we have any course work on that (which we do), but is also curious if it's cheaper/better to build one on his own vs. buying one already done? We'd be happy to give you some direction
Why does the quality of my video look worse after I’ve edited it?
Our question today comes from our good friend, Kyle, who has a question about video editing. He's using Adobe Premier, and when he takes the video from the SD card and puts it in Adobe it looks great. But after he's done editing it looks grainy and not so good, like the quality went down. So he's asking is
What’s a good counter response to a company that decides they prefer to hire a 333 exempt pilot, but I know I’m more skilled & can get the job done better?
On today's episode we've got a very special guest joining us live. He may not be "in person", but he is live over the phone. His name is Vic Moss and he is a very well respected aerial photographer. In fact, Vic will be joining us live (again) for next Monday's webinar to discuss panoramic aerial
What is it when people flash their ESC’s with the SimonK firmware?
Our question today comes from John, and it's a great question you'll want to hear. It's about ESC's and how folks have been flashing them with SimonK firmware. So John is asking what exactly is that?

What is the best gimbal to get for my octocopter that will auto tune and carry a full DSLR camera with lens?
Our question today comes from David. He's in the process of looking for a new gimbal for his octo rig. It currently uses a Wukong, but I will upgrade to an A2 in the near future. There seems to be a lot of options out there, but not many of them are proven to work well. I want a gimbal with a great auto
It’s July 4th tomorrow, which means an automatic TFR. What other things will trigger a TFR? What other safety considerations should I be aware of?
Today is a special episode for the July 4th holiday weekend. We are going to focus on numerous safety reminders and tips so you come out of the weekend without any incidents. We're also going to discuss the fact that this weekend will trigger an automatic TFR. So what does that mean to you? How will that
Why do I seemingly always have birds around my Phantom 3? How can I help ensure one of them doesn’t hit it, causing it to crash (again)?
Today's question comes from Joe in New Jersey. His question may possibly make you convulse and cringe to think about because after flying his brand new DJI Phantom 3 for five minutes, it crashed and was destroyed (I really feel for you, Joe). He's already gone out and bought another one, and has been
What kind of options do I have as far as radio spectrum analyzers to help identify possible interferences?
Today's question comes from QuadGuy27 in Maryland. He has a great question, and one that is on the rather technical side (which we love). I'd like to find out what kind of interferences I may be dealing with for a flight plan. What kind of options do I have as far as radio spectrum analyzers? This is such
Can I fly an Inspire 1 & Phantom 3 near each other without interference issues? And how will high elevations affect my batteries?
Our question today comes from Chris in Tennessee. He's about to travel overseas and will be flying an Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 for a project. The two drones will need to be flying fairly close to each other. Will that be a problem? Also, the elevation where this project will be is about 5,000 ft above sea
What is the process of getting permission to fly my drone in Washington DC for a local videography project? What resources can you point me to?
Our question today comes from Rashard, who is new to aerial videography. He was recently asked by a university in the Washington DC area to film and get photos of their campus with a drone. It sounds like Rashard is concerned that his drone will get comfiscated and is, therefore, asking what he needs to do
