Awesome. Thanks.

Do you know how often that map gets updated?

Is there an updated and searchable database for 333 exemptions that have been granted? I know you can search the FAA site but I wanted to be able to narrow it down by state easier.

Ours posted for comments November 3rd. Exemption granted March 4th.

We submitted our paper work July 30th. We finally got the exemption March 4th. Ridiculous.

The backlog on gaining an exemption is pretty long. I applied back at the very beginning of august and still haven't received it. If somebody wanted to be up and running quickly I don't see why it's a bad idea. Would you rather sit on the sidelines for 5-6 months or pay $4,000 and start...

Ours was filed August 3rd. I noticed yesterday we finally got a docket assigned. What's been the average wait after you get a docket?

So do all HD cameras look the same to you?

For a hobbyist I totally agree.

I've had peoples head explode when they find out how much my tripod cost (hint its more than an inspire) :) Quite honestly I never assumed the Inspire would work as good professional video platform. I had always intended to use it for photogrammetry work. This camera makes me rethink that...

Eh. You're talking about a more expensive UAV with likely a more expensive camera. It may end up as an even more expensive yard sale. :)

The X5 is a mini GH4 on the front of the Inspire one. A GH4 is $1400. An X5 WITH gimbal is $1700. Thats a pretty awesome deal! 4k raw with a 1.7gps data rate isn't cheap! The BMD Ursa has a data rate of 256mps and is $5000. It weighs as much as a cinderblock. The X5r has 444 color space...

What other camera is that small that shoots 4k raw again? Don't forget the gimbal and wireless follow focus.
