I've been flying DJI drones for the past four years, and am in love with their entire lineup of products. Everything about them is top notch, from the nav system, logging of flights, controls, durability, customer support. Hands down, the best drone manufacturer out there. I'm currently using the Inspire series and just recently upgraded to the Inspire 2. So much fun!

Oh! I bet you have a lot of fun!!!! The Inspire is complete another theme :) I am just almost 2 years now learning and flying with whatever cheap drone I found.... and now is time for some real stuff ;)
I am absolutely having a ton of fun, so much so, that it's almost hard to call it work! I'm focused exclusively on the golf industry, filming golf courses and resorts across North America. I agree, the inspire is another topic, and not necessary unless you're doing more commercial work. All DJI products are awesome though, including the phantom series and the Mavic which you're discussing in this article. I look forward to following your content and hopefully seeing some of your videos. Cheers!
This is kind of my idea... make it another profesion that I could do (one more to the list) Could be for architecture, topography, real state, bussiness videostock, film industry or whatever related that need the use of aereal views. I graduated as a filmaker but also before I studied civil Engineering so would be not so strange to go in this direction ;)
You got a new follower here too :) I do not want to miss any of the "Inspire" videos you will post :D Cheers!
pd: Are the Videos in the Inspire filmed in RAW format? Or it is just the photos like in the other drones?
There are so many different applications for drone usage, the sky is literally the limit! I get requests all the time from various other industries including real estate, farming, telecommunication tower construction and more. Sounds as though you've got a great background to easily incorporate some drone work into your portfolio. I like the business model of finding a specific niche focus and being known for that specific industry as opposed to trying to cater to the broad market. You mentioned videostock, which is another way to easily generate passive income from your raw footage and/or photographs. I've experimented with a few platforms, but haven't spent a lot of time on it. The royalty payments are fairly small, but on the plus side, you can sell the same footage/photo an unlimited number of times.
Regarding my videos, I often just film in the default setting, which usually captures great footage and requires less post production work. At the recommendation of one of my partners, I've started filming some projects in the DLog/Raw format which creates a flatter video, but allows for much more versatility in post production. As always, I'm still learning and adapting as I go.
