Do you ever sleep?
I sleep pretty good most of the time. I go to bed pretty early most of the time.

There is a ton of opportunity for collecting drone footage, and no one off the street can jump in the game without taking the time to study and pass an official test

Time to invest in net guns.
That is pretty cool. I didn't know they required them.

Actually @ThePhotoguy gifted me an old Phantom 3 because I passed the test. He’s the one that suggested I get the license so I can help him collect footage for real estate photos. He’s got one that’s nicer, but I’m gonna mess around with the one he gave me for practice
How much would something like that cost? 2 years ago for Christmas I got the whore's son one for $100 and we lost it in the first 5 mins. Excellent investment and wise decision to fly it in winds with no clue how to do it.

Looks like you can find Phantom 3’s used for around $500:


According to @ThePhotoguy though there are much better options for a little bit more.

It has potential to be a fairly lucrative endeavor from the commercial side. You can charge a couple hundred bucks for a video that takes 30 minutes to create

Thinking about opening up a professional peeping Tom business. Just need to check in to local privacy regulations and should be good to go

Fuck it. Trust me I’m FAA
Fo real? I honestly gained a lot of respect for the system and processes going through this. I generally hate authority, but I understand the level of detail here

So I went to my grandparent today, and my granddad had a drone that had been sitting in his garage for two years that was still in the box.

Well since I’m a drone stud now I helped him set it up. We got that thing to left off the ground and we were so excited! In less than thirty seconds I flew that bitch straight into the top of a 50ft tree and got it stuck. I was laughing my ass off at the irony, and he said, “I don’t see anything funny about that”. He was pissed!

But afterwards we went to shoot guns and he took out his aggression

Shoot around it in the tree to get it down.

Dude, if you're a newb, and don't want to invest a lot but want a quality drone. I highly recommend the DJI Spark. It's going for $300 at best buy and it's a very fun / quality drone. I take it on vacations and get some great footage.

This sounds like a good idea. I can say that DJI has a solid app
