    I clearly state that the video is not intended for monetary gain and also put the music rights in the description. With that, it's never been an issue. Thanks!

    Tourism is very quiet right now, but the state is open for business. You would see heavy discounts across the board. Valdez was a ghost town compared to normal summer travel, sad to see.

    No salmon derby this time, just a quick weekend trip. I had some regret after seeing the weather though!

    You couldn't have said it any better and I greatly appreciate the feedback. Still learning and growing in many facets of the game. I am about a year into joining the drone/video editing world. While I love it, it's definitely a challenge. I live in Alaska so finding beautiful scenery is easy...

    Great advice, I appreciate it. It's funny you mention waypoint missions, I was experimenting with this over the weekend. My plan is to get all 4 seasons utilizing the same flight path from different glacial valleys, mountains peaks, etc. Should be fun, a very addicting hobby!

    I wouldn't raise above 400 FT as I believe it's set at 400 ft above the controller but i'm new to this so easily could be wrong. The way to overcome this is to climb the mountain. I live 10 min from Hatcher Pass, it is my favorite place in AK and I spend most of my summer exploring and...

    Flying in mountains & monetizing footage

    I have no experience on the financial side but I have plenty with the no cell signal side. No issue whatsoever. I live in AK and haven't had any problems with flying from the peaks of mountains. The issue I have found is that on a sunny day the drone becomes very difficult to keep an eye on as...
