Yeah railroads in many areas are considered critical infrastructure and flying over/around them is a no no. Fortunately for this show we had permission from the railroad and permits to fly there specifically. We also had a representative from the railroad safety department there with us to make sure we and the railroad employees were operating safely. I didn’t want to show flying there without a mention of the fact that there is more needed than just showing up to film trains! Cheers man’

Hey Jake - Love the behind the scenes / over the shoulder look at a working drone professional, so yeah, would like to see more. Are all those drones yours?

Hi Jake, thanks man for the video, and the flying is always excellent. Are you still remaining up 'north' most of the time? I imagine you can make more $ with what you are doing here, just curious.

@JakeSloan

8 ай бұрын

a lot of work in the beginning but now mostly word of mouth and working to follow up leads

Is there anything that can be done to improve chances of recovering a drone after a crash, flyaway, or other incident? Return to home settings would be my first thought for connectivity issues, but is there anything else that can be done? I've got insurance on my drone, so as long as I recover the body I can get a replacement. Ive only had 1 crash (so far) but the battery ejected so all "find my drone" type features would've been useless. Love your content and appreciate your interaction with the community. Edit to add: a video on drone insurance would be really interesting as well, especially if some brands are known to be better or worse than others when it comes to coverage or replacement.

@JakeSloan

Жыл бұрын

I’ll have to think about doing a drone insurance video. As far as loss goes there are add on buzzers that will activate in the event of a crash but other than that return to home settings are a musy

@nk-dw2hm

Жыл бұрын

@@JakeSloan I forgot about the buzzers, I always forget about useful fpv-world stuff when thinking about drones for video/photo work. My biggest fear is being unable to recover the drone due to it falling in a murky lake or river. I've got autel care and I'm praying it won't be a pain/hassle when I have to send it in for repairs. Honestly a general "post crash" video would be interesting too if insurance is a little too niche. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels like their relatively cheap drone is still a big investment as a hobbyist Thanks for the reply!

How are you following visual flight rules? The drone seemed to be really far from where you guys were.

@JakeSloan

11 ай бұрын

The inspire 2 is visible from quite a distance since it is such a large drone, staying within visual line of sight will depend on many factors but should always be followed unless of course you have a waiver to fly beyond visual line of sight. For the FPV flights a visual observer is required and actually the distances flown are not very far due to FPV not having a very strong signal link to the goggles, but since it is filmed with a super wide angle lens it makes it seem much farther and much larger space than it is.
