Our showreel for 2017. All shot with Inspire Pro with various Olympus lenses and our Osmo Pro around the UK. All permissions in place as I am full time commercial. Purposely kept to 35 seconds to keep viewers engaged. Interested in your feedback :-)

I use Propeller, AGIsoft and DD and pay for them as required. Would you work for free?

Give me a call if you wish to see what can be achieved. This little video shows part of our aerial surveying capabilities:

Has anyone managed to integrate a RTK or PPK system successfully with an Inspire (pro)? I'm looking for factual data on this. Extremely large photogrammetry job and looking to reduce the number of GCPs.

Added a part to clarify that the PfAW/PfCO variation has to be cleared by CAA before commercial night ops are permitted (hope that's OK Ed, just wanted to clarify?).

For any pay as you go advertising, pre-calculate your budget and stick to it. Google ad words can run up to £1000s every month. Research and understand it, it's a tool just like your Inspire.

Or if you like a challenge and enjoy learning, DIY and spend the money saved on good advertising.

You do NOT need to pay anyone to add night ops (you don't even have to pay an NQE to gain your PfCO but that's covered elsewhere). For those asking to see copies of people's Ops manual sections, you have all the answers here, it can be covered in one page, put fingers to keyboard and you'll find...

Or work from a business plan what you need to charge, otherwise you may be cutting your own throat. You don't say what accuracy is required? This will be the biggest impact on cost. Do you understand photogrammetry enough to set this up accurately? If so it's a professional skill that should be...

Met office as well.

You'd still have to prove the mitigated risk, at 51 mtrs above a person can you ensure fully their safety... In mid October we may find out more once the new information is released from the CAA.

Interestingly my similar post on the Facebook Official DJI owners group has been removed.... Personally fpv doesn't warrant the investment, nor the object avoidance. Hoping there's still good things to come from it....

I put a box of my business cards outside of my landing zone, people love free info and it's got me work on a few occasions. Once landed I go and chat with them and invite them in as long as they agree to listen to my instruction, they can then see the 2nd monitor and converse. People form a line...

So what does your OSC cover beyond a standard PfAW/PfCO?
