I priced drones on Amazon.
A good rated one I could swing but it would be church mouse living for a while.
One is wishlisted for now.
Seeing what people are willing to pay makes it worth my interest.
Serious question. In what way does it make it worth your interest? Following stocks? Buying them now because they will go up in price? Just tapping your brain. :) mine’s been in slow gear for years.
I’d like to do the actual photo/videography.
Every so often I see some good paying side jobs on CL and Thumbtack for drone operators.
It would be all the more reason to use the Go Pro.
So far I’ve done a tiny bit of Youtube, a couple of stock submissions, and some things sent up to Go Pro Awards.
I spent too many years in TV and I still enjoy making things. It’s even better when I can make something at it.
Wow. Very cool.
Keep up with technology, make Money :)
BTW, what’s Thumbtack, if you dont mind?
BTW, I just saw a video and you are a man with great foresight.
Drones are being used to detect sharks near humans in Australia and alert the humans and soon even drop rafts.
There’s gonna be BIG money in drone use.
I am a smart guy but I NEVER had foresight.
Always missed the big pictures. The internet, amazon, google, etc. Still can’t make up my mind about 3d printers and how big they will be and where/how to take advantage of it.
And outfitted with thermal and infrared cameras for crop inspection of small sites.
I was on a “webinar” that showed the ideal of having a swarm of drones go through a large building under construction each evening with the results ready that morning showing the “as-built” compared to the plans. “Knowing that beam is off by 3 inches now rather than a month from now will save a lot of money.”
Using drones with remote sensing tools, such as tiny magnetometers, are in use now scanning sites for buried metal - especially in possible dangerous areas such as unexploded ordnance at old test ranges.
Speaking of drone swarms - the last Super Bowl light show had 500 drones acting in concert.
Not the superbowl - but a good video on the first time 500 was done.

Thumbtack is one of those find a pro (or facsimile thereof) sites.
I was apparently not much on seeing “the coming thing” either.
When I did, I was too poor to be a part usually.
I’m keeping the drone on the wish list. My main goal at the moment is getting a K5 blazer back to operational. I’ve bought my last new vehicle.
The plan is to get the radiator and the last of the cooling system parts this week. A new 4 barrel maybe next time, then tires and wheels, and clean up.
thanks
The blazer IS the most important thing.
My 10 year old mazda is still ticking but soon...
I like to think so.
There aren’t any more.
I’ve got one of the fenders off to do some bigger jobs.
Here it is running a little.
