    How much should I charge

    Hi Braxton I am in a similar situation as you. I'm from a small rural town in MN next door to you. I have the same question as you. I have done a few shoots but have not tried to sell anything yet. I don't know how to do private messaging here but if you do, I would enjoy visiting with you on...

    Crash...repair depot suggestions

    On thanksgiving I had my first major Mavic crash. Camera wires were severed, broken props, cracked case. I don't care to go into discussing how it happened but I did invest in a new ribbon cable as well as the busted camera video cable. After working most of the day at it and trying to follow...

    Case options for Mavic with 5.5 CrystalSky

    Sorry if this is already covered elsewhere. I'm getting a CrystalSky 5.5" monitor and am looking to see if anyone knows of a carrying case built with the CrystalSky in mind. I would like a place for the Mavic, the controller, maybe 2- 3 batteries besides the one on the Mavic, a spot for the...

    Reasonable liability insurance needed in MN

    Thanks for the replies... as MrPeteza says, that's not liability insurance and not for "commercial" use. I failed to point out clearly that I would be doing this for a potential profit by charging a customer for the aerial photos and framing or whatever. In that case you have to be part 107...

    Reasonable liability insurance needed in MN

    Minnesota will not accept Verifly insurance which is the ideal product in my opinion. Everywhere I check seems to be $800 or more. For the occasional aerial photo of a farm or home n have it framed , this cost going in after being Part 107 certified seems way out of line. Anyone know of a more...

    Getting B&W diagonal bars on white images

    Wondering if anyone knows why I get diagonal black and white lines on most white objects. The lines are very straight and evenly spaced. I haven't seen them show up on photos taken but gets annoying while trying to frame a shot. Also wondering how large of a print one can expect to make...

    CrystalSky review wanted

    Oh.... so you do manufacturing..... may I ask your business name and location? How were you able to acquire a CrystalSky when there seems to be none available for shipping wherever I check? Could you tell me which brightness version you have and have you used both so as to judge the difference...

    CrystalSky review wanted

    That sounds great but I never see any mention or details of it anywhere. Where are you getting your information? Do you know the cost? Anything to offer re: the different versions and their degree of being sufficient in brightness compared to the mini iPad ? Thanks very much.

    CrystalSky review wanted

    Hi, I've some review on here about CrystalSky but wondering if anyone has had both the high brightness and ultra brightness units to compare side by side or to a mini iPad. I'm deliberating over the two brightness versions as to whether there is a lot of noticeable difference between them and...

    Video files jerky on PC playback

    Sorry my previous post got delayed. I see my Mavic was recording in 4K...I've changed that to a lower res and the codec to MP4 and will see what happens. Thanks to all

    Video files jerky on PC playback

    Good info you guys. I don't recall what resolution I recorded at since I'm brand new at this. Would a different video card solve my problem or is it also the CPU? Is it possible to transfer this out of my Mavic and then convert the res somehow to salvage what I have? I don't know if other...

    Video files jerky on PC playback

    When I put the Mavic micro SD card in an adapter and into the SD slot on my desktop PC, the still pictures show up fine but having trouble with viewing videos. The only thing that will apparently play the .MOV files is the VLC player I downloaded. But.... first few attempts resulted in just an...

    NFZ vs. part 107 certified with Mavic, central US

    Thanks for the suggestions. I checked with the on-line "school" that I earned my part 107 knowledge from and they clarified my concern. I'm in a tiny rural area so have an equally small airport. So the rule is that one can be very near an airport that has class E status because that starts at...

    NFZ vs. part 107 certified with Mavic, central US

    Sorry about location but thought central US was close enough... I'm actually in Minnesota. Regarding DJI's limits... I don't really know as it is a real struggle to ever get in contact with any type of support and it is often in poor English. I thought the entity in control of airspace was the...

    NFZ vs. part 107 certified with Mavic, central US

    I have a Mavic and recently acquired my part 107 Remote Pilot cert. According to the rules I should be able to fly within the 5 mile hobbyist radius as long as I am complying with the airspace charts. Yesterday I got a message on my Mavic that I was not authorized as I was inside the 5 mile...
