We are happy with the 30T. It is what I expected it to be. After 15 years in the aerial imaging this rig points us in a new direction for our business. :) Thanks for the help.

I don’t where a tin foil hat but I feel you probably think all electric cars or GPS enabled equipment can turn into weapons against mankind….:)

The M30T will be used for construction inspection, utility inspection, and basically aerial inspection when a ladder, or other means of elevated reach are not available. I have taken every tool in our imaging business and developed uses beyond the scope the tool has. I have 30 years of site...

Hello crew Long and short. sUAS operator since 2012. My wife and I own K & D Action Photo & Aerial Imaging. Have done a lot of imaging over the years with many rigs. On the verge of a M30T with base station. I have 30 years site experience. Accuracy is everything in construction. Is the M30T...

Hey guys or gals. Been using sUAS's for some years. Certified and insured. To make this short I have a person claiming that his friend who will be doing a job we cant do (waiting on the airspace authorization waiver), that he has a waiver to fly to 18,000'. Distance I would question with...

Nighttime 4yrs class G airspace.

I didn't see if this has been a topic so hopefully I am not dbl posting. Does the newest firmware for the Inpsire 1 x5 (1.11.xxxx) block your flight if you fall into the radius of these Medivac sites? The newest B4ufly does not recognize these as airports and permission is needed, but will the...

What you can do with a sUAS far exceeds the common model aircraft. Carrying payloads, precise flying at slow speeds, carrying a camera are the things that worry the "officials" A friend that works for an oil company sat in a meeting with"officials". Their main concern is stated above, I will...

It is the "tech" biz...kinda sucks. We might be better selling lemonade at the stand....:) I'm in it till the end or until the wife says no more...:)

I have to ask this. I like what you are saying but does a fire inspector have the right to overrule the FAA when you are in their airspace? Please I just want info on some of these ways of operating that I am reading here. You are right about flying OVER people but their has been input on...

So the procedures you listed are adequate to fly over people? I have to ask because I am trying to get a gauge on what is accepted and what is not. My understanding is a waiver to fly near/over people, besides all that is required within the waiver. I am just asking because of the opinions I see...

Truthfully the industry is still evolving. Those who work illegally will only get the bottom of the pot jobs. Any REAL company will not risk the illegal operator. The negative side is I am finding those REAL companies sometimes buy their own rigs and do the work themselves. Were looking at...

Understand and there was no thought on put down. Totally agree with what you said. That's why am not camraing my rig, even if I do, not until I have the basic course which is 2 grand through Monroe Infrared, and their proposed sUAS course following. I do have to have a handheld thermal camera...

There seems to be many opinions on this subject. I have had 3. Local FSDO, sUAS attorney, and the opinion on here...:)

You know our local seems to lean towards record keeping. What I am afraid of is bucking his advice because somewhere else questions the need and we end up on the short end of the stick. I will keep the records and schedule him to do the inspection of our operation, something else the local...
