Ask Drone U

Our podcast question today comes to us from Trace. He's got a great question as it relates to all the many options out there for drone equipment and accessories. So Trace is asking, with so many options out there, what are the essential items I really do need for flying my drone & being most prepared? Let's be honest, it can be a bit overwhelming deciphering what you really need, especially in an industry where new and "better" things are always coming out. Do you really, really need that? Or would it just be a nice thing to have? We go through as much as we can on the show today so you can have a better idea of what you must have vs what you could have vs what you don't need at all. Stay tuned, and thanks for the question, Trace. Fly safe! Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/. Tell us what you think of the our show. We listen and tweak often.

For today's show, we're actually doing more of a Thanksgiving "special" where we talk about several things, including what would happen if a drone were to hit a plane's engine? We do this because they've compared a drone to a 3-4 lb turkey, thus the connection. It may be a stretch, but it's Thanksgiving. We're thankful for you and all our faithful listeners. Please have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving! Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/. Tell us what you think of the our show. We listen and tweak often.

Today's question comes to us from Chris in Tennessee (Go Vols). He's asking when shooting music videos with a drone, what rates should I be charging? What else should I be considering for this? We've done several of these type projects, Chris, and can definitely give you some guidance. We hope you get some fun projects in this area, and thanks for the question. Fly safe!

Today's question is from Chris, who is asking us a really great question, but one that is a bit difficult to answer for everyone. So what we do is go through all the different things for you to consider with this question, which is what are some good indicators that would show I'm ready to make the move and turn my passion into profit? We're encouraged to see you thinking ahead with questions like this, Chris! Thanks for submitting it, and good luck. Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/.

For today's podcast, we've, once again, been getting numerous questions regarding the news today that the FAA Task Force has recommended a drone registration process for pilots. There's certainly still a lot to come on this before we know what's next, but folks are none the less asking us what do you think of it? Specifically, how will this help with drone safety and pilot training? Great questions to consider and be asking (if only the Task Force was doing that). So we'll go through everything as objectively as we can so you can get your arms wrapped about what this means and what to do about it. Stay tuned, and fly safe!

The question today comes to us from Quadguy27, who is asking us if there are any compatibility issues between the Osmo and Inspire X3 cameras? Are they interchangeable, by chance?

Today's question comes to us from Justin. He really asks a very insightful question, and one in which we expand on quite a bit because it's so important. Justin is asking what are the shot that a new(er) pilot should learn and practice to get started with videography? The thing is, Justin, there are many experienced pilots who need to know this because you probably see it all the time, people who upload videos that really aren't very good or creative. So whether you're new or not, these are not just shots, but movements that can really help you advance in your pursuit of drone video projects. Thanks for the question, Justin. Fly safe!
