  • ADU 01082: Which is the Best Drone App for Checking Wind Speed and Direction?
    Best Drone App and Website for Checking Wind Speed and Direction



    Today's show is about the best and most accurate drone app for checking wind speed and direction.



    Our caller for today, Ron is in a bit of a quandary. Ron regularly flies in windy locations, and he is looking for an accurate drone app or tool to measure wind speed and direction. As we have discussed on this show before, learning about wind and measuring wind speed and direction is a must for a safe drone flight.



    In today's show, listeners will learn that not all drone apps are accurate. We recommend some excellent tools to help Ron out. Further, Paul shares his own experience where he lost a potential long-term client simply because he did not use the right tools to check on-site wind speed. Other topics discussed on this show are the importance of flying in Atti mode and using your drone to gauge wind speed.

  • BONUS: How Remote ID Will Change the the Film Industry Forever With Kenji Sugahara
    The proposed Remote ID regulations might surprise many in the TV, film and production industry. Remote ID will seriously change how most productions currently use drones, from canyon aerials in TV commercials to western towns in the desert. Remote ID may not have considered these high paying jobs.



    These drone pilots face some of the steepest costs associated with equipment, thus they have a lot of skin in the game. Let's just say, the proposed Remote ID might not be TV friendly.

  • ADU 01080: DJI Phantom 4 Pro vs Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 – Should You Buy This New DJI Drone?
    All You Wanted to Know About the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0



    Today's call is about the all-new Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. How does this new DJI drone compare to the older Phantom?



    Our caller for today, Ian flies a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Ian is very happy with this reliable and versatile DJI drone. As we have discussed previously, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is a great choice for folks who are looking to buy a drone that is great for videography as well as drone mapping. Ian's question today is about the all-new DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0.



    As you may be aware, DJI recently resumed production for the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. While we are quite happy with this development, DJI's decision to increase prices has understandably upset many potential buyers.



    The new Phantom 4 Pro costs around $1,800. So, does this new DJI drone come with additional features that justify this higher pricing? Is it worth upgrading to the all-new DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0? We help Ian out by sharing some nuanced information. Thanks for the great question! Fly Safe!

  • BONUS: How Remote ID Rules Hurts Drone Manufacturers and Ends Industrial Drone Jobbing
    With the rollout of the proposed remote ID rules, we have seen many hobbyists and commercial operators will be negatively affected. What about industry manufacturers?



    How will industrial and enterprise jobs be affected? Most industrial jobs, as we learn, will not be able to fly drones.



    Industrial jobs are typically in secure environments and cannot connect to the internet for security reasons, so how would those pilots comply with Remote ID? They wouldn't. Remote ID is a drone jobbing killer, are you ready to rise and fight it?

  • ADU 01079: Do I Need to Notify People When Flying Over a Construction Site?
    Today's question is about notifying people when shooting construction sites or crowded events. Are drone pilots legally required by the FAA to do so?



    Our caller for today, Scott has come up with multiple interesting questions that have not been asked on ADU before. Scott, a drone pilot from North Carolina regularly flies the Phantom 4 Pro V2 for construction jobs. Does he need to notify the public before he sets flight? Also, a typical construction site is bustling with people and activity. So, should Scott go through the hassle of acquiring a Part 107 waiver since he will be flying over people?



    Great question, Scott. To answer his question, we first reveal whether or not Scott is legally required to notify the public before flying his drone. While this may not be a legal requirement, will informing the public help conduct safer operations? We also discuss why using a parachute safety system to obtain a Part 107 waiver is not the best approach for a drone pilot. This show will particularly interest those who are regularly flying construction jobs. Thanks for the question, Scott. Fly Safe!

  • ADU 01077: Which is the Best Drone for High Winds?
    DJI Inspire or Phantom 4 Pro - Which is the Best Quadcopter for Windy Conditions?



    Today's question is about the best quadcopter for windy conditions. Can you get rid of jello effect when you are flying a drone like the Phantom 4 Pro? Do you need to switch to a larger drone?



    Our caller for today, Bob is facing some issues with his Phantom 4 Pro. Specifically, Bob is experiencing jello effect when he is flying his Phantom in high winds. Bob has already tried balancing his props but without any success. So, is it possible to capture smooth footage with the Phantom 4 Pro in such situations? Or, should Bob shift to a larger and more stable drone like the Inspire 2?



    Great question, Bob. This is an issue that amateur pilots often grapple with. Drone pilots need to take into account varying wind speeds with an increase in elevation. However, can advanced flying skills make up for your lack of a larger drone? Is it advisable to change your flight settings when you are out flying in high winds? If you are regularly flying in areas with windy conditions, this show will surely interest you. Thanks for the great question, Bob. Fly Safe!

    Industry Voices Its Protest Against Remote ID NPRM, Impact of Coronavirus on Drone Industry, Drone Pilot Arrested for Flying in "No-Drone Zone" before Superbowl, Drone Search and Rescue, DJI Matrice 300 & Autel Evo 2 Delayed, New Certification for Drone Delivery Providers



    We start this show by sharing some important updates about the Remote ID NPRM. While the entire drone community is coming together to voice their protest against this restrictive proposal, on the other hand, companies like Airmap are supporting this proposal. Should you be using Airmap when they are putting their weight behind this NPRM which could murder the commercial and hobby drone industry?



    In more Remote ID NPRM news, you will learn about the protest that FPV pilots have organized on February 29th at FAA HQ, Washington DC. As a responsible member of the drone community, we urge you to join them in this protest. You can also submit a well-thought-out comment by clicking here. The commenting deadline for the Remote ID NPRM is March 2, 2020.



    Our next story is about the Coronavirus outbreak. First, we reveal how the Chinese government is using drones to combat this deadly virus. Then we go to discuss the far-reaching impact of this virus on drone manufacturers. Will this virus outbreak delay the launch of eagerly-awaited products like DJI Matrice 300 and Autel Evo 2?



    Other topics discussed on this show are new certification for drone delivery providers, drone search and rescue, and implications of flying a drone in a "No-Drone Zone". For all this and much, much more, tune in to our latest show now. Fly Safe!
