For today's show we're going to air part one of an interview we recently did with Kerry from Multicopter Warehouse (http://www.multicopterwarehouse.com/). In this particular part of the interview, we really dove deep with Kerry regarding flight modes, which one(s) to use, when and why. We start out talking about the Phantom 3, but do progress to various other drones. So this will be a great in-depth summary for you on flight modes across several different drones, especially the P3. So stay tuned and we hope you find this helpful. Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/.

Our question today comes from Ali in Dubai. He's setting his battery thresholds at a certain level to tell him when to descend and actually land. However, when he lands the levels are readying higher than when he started to land. So Ali wants to know why are my battery levels reading higher once I actually land vs. when I'm flying? Great question, and we appreciate you sending it in, Ali. This is certainly important as so many people do not understand the importance of monitoring this very closely. So we'll go through this and more on today's show. Fly safe, everyone! Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/.

Today's question comes to us from Bruce in Utah. He recently had a hard landing with his Phantom 2 and, consequently, broke the receiver. So Bruce is asking which replacement receiver should I buy?

Like we said on yesterday's episode, today we're going to give you a thorough break down of the Interdrone Conference Paul just returned from. What did we learn? What was the most impactful? What things do you need to be aware of? We go through these questions and many other aspects on today's show. If you missed Interdrone, after this episode it will be as if you there with us.

For today's show we're going to talk about the new DJI camera that was just announced at the Interdrone Conference. Paul was there to get the scoop on everything, including this release. So what we've done is actually sit down with some of our members who were also at the conference to get their thoughts on the camera. In so doing, we go through what you need to know about it, what we think about it and why it may (or may not) be worth the price (around $2,000 when it's all said and done). Tomorrow we're also going to go through an overview of the conference itself, giving you all the details we feel would be helpful for you to know. So stay tuned as we talk about this new DJI camera.

For today's episode we continue marching down the philosophical trail to talk about systems. You may have heard us talk about "systems" before, or at least allude to it. But this is one of the most important aspects of running a successful business, whether drones or not. So many pilots are overly focused on their demo reel. Although that is indeed important, it will only take you so far. If you have a poor system, or none at all, then you are missing out on more business, more referrals, more profit and less work. So today we answer the questions, when you talk about having a system, what exactly does that mean? How will it help me? Why is it important? We've also decided to do a webinar on Monday, September 14 at 6 pm EST so we can go more in depth about this. So join us today, and Monday, to learn what this looks like, and why you need to care.

Today and tomorrow we're going to get a bit "philosophical" as we touch on the overall mindset you should have on two key areas for any business: pricing and systems. For today, we're going to talk through with the Bald Headed Bureau what should my philosophy on pricing my services be in general so I set myself up for the fastest, most success? We've talked a bit about the "undercharger", but this is more related to the broader pricing picture. If you don't understand this stuff and have the right mindset then you are going to make it extra difficult on yourself. So join us today for this fun, yet important, episode.

On today's podcast we have a sit down with Kerry from Multicopter Warehouse (http://www.multicopterwarehouse.com/). We're excited to announce that Multicopter is now a primary sponsor of Drone U. They are very like-minded in their desire to serve you, and we love affiliating with people who share this passion with us. We'll talk more about this affiliation later, but on today's episode we're talking about numerous things related to drones. The biggest topic, however, is regarding the recent announcement by DJI that they are introducing some new autonomous features on the I1 and P3. What do you think of the new DJI autonomous features for the Inspire 1 and Phantom 3? What exactly do they do? How do they compare to competitor's features? We go through this and some more on today's show. Stay tuned and thanks for joining us! Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/.

Our question today comes from John at NewSkyProductions.com (check out his site). He has a question we've never been asked; not once. And this is more of a Drone U centric question. But it's a question, and we're here to answer them, so here we go. John's question is essentially, how is Drone U structured from a business stand point, and who does what & why? We hope you and our listeners find this helpful and interesting. Thanks for the question, John. Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. Fly safe!
