What type of drone was it?

Thanks for asking! We'll add it to our list. Thank you!

Thanks for watching our content. If you want a video to fit vertically in a 9:16 aspect ratio without cropping, you have a few options: Letterboxing or Pillarboxing: This involves adding black bars to either the sides (pillarboxing) or the top and bottom (letterboxing) of the video to maintain the original aspect ratio. This way, the video will fit within the 9:16 frame without cropping any content, but you'll have black bars around it. Scaling and Padding: You can scale the video to fit within the 9:16 frame while maintaining the original aspect ratio. This might leave some empty space on the sides or top and bottom, which you can fill with a background color or texture to match your video's aesthetic. Creative Editing: If possible, you could reframe or reposition elements within your video to ensure important content remains within the central 9:16 area. This approach requires some editing skills to adjust the composition effectively.

Drones are a great way to enjoy retirement! If you ever do decide to get your part 107 check out our course in the comments link. The insurance is pretty affordable as well. I have owned a drone service business since 2017 and $1M in liability is around $50/month. That's not too bad. Keep us posted on how drones are making the most of your retirement!

Thanks for watching! It is Adobe Premiere Pro.

@@altitudeuniversity thank you bro

@@user-ye9pl4kn1r Thanks for taking the time to watch our content.

Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to watch it! Have you taken the recurrent yet?

I have the Air 3 and love it. It is a very capable drone.

It's a park in Irvine, CA, called The Great Park. One of the features is a giant orange balloon. They decorate it during Halloween and a few other times throughout the year. www.cityofirvine.org/great-park/great-park-balloon-carousel

It can be a challenge for sure. The key is to sell the value of your services beyond what the perception may be ("just a drone pilot"). I like to add that I offer safety, flying legally so they don't get fined and that I carry insurance so if there is an accident, they are covered. It usually helps sell the idea of hirer rates.

Hello, this video was created a few years ago. Which app isn't working? I'll let you know one that is currently available. Thanks!

Airmap doesn't work.

@@DreammoreRealty Thanks for the clarification. Yes, Airmap has closed down. I personally use Aloft now to check on airspace. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

@@altitudeuniversity Thank you

@@DreammoreRealty No worries!

Hello, the FAA does make changes from time to time. Typically, you see updates every couple of years. The latest is Remote ID. Our course is always updated with new material, and when changes are made, we typically make a RUclips video on the change.

It can be disappointing, but at least when you retake it you have an even better idea of what to expect. Did you retake it yet?

Congrats! We wish you the very best in your career as a commercial drone pilot!

Thanks for the feedback. We think every pilot needs to have ND filters if they want to get the best photos, especially in bright light.

Hello, while it's not the approach we would recommend, we are glad you made it there safely and that our content helped you pass. Thanks for checking our video out.

Hello, thanks for asking this question. The Part 107 is specifically for those looking to fly drones commercially. If you are only flying for fun (that means not even loading videos to RUclips - just flying), you won't need the Part 107.

Thanks for the feedback. We like to provide everything you need to know so that you can understand the material and solve the problem. We hope the content helped give you what you needed. Thank you!

We are glad to hear you passed the exam. Congrats!

Thank you for checking out our content. What else would you like to see?

Thanks for taking a look at our content!

Congrats on passing the exam! We are so glad you found our content useful. We wish you the very best on your journey as a commercial drone pilot. Please keep us posted on how your career goes!

Awesome! Starting a drone business is a great option to make some extra money that may become a full-time gig. How long have you had your drone license?

@@altitudeuniversity I don’t have it yet

@@maxen3907@maxen3907 Well, you definitely should start with getting your license. You are obviously past the 16-year-old limit. What is your plan? Are you going to learn on your own, use a course like ours, or something else?

Great suggestion! I use a $10 printed flight log I purchased off Amazon, but I have used Rocket Book before, and they are great. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll talk to the team and see what we can do. Are there other topics you would be interested in?

@@altitudeuniversity I'm learning just from studying that there's a lot of little things that go into being a drone pilot. I'm taking my part 107 test on Tuesday! Most of the drone gigs I'm preparing for are simple photo and video capturing an event or a space. I would love to see a comprehensive video walking through a full job and the steps needed to prepare for something bigger. Things like contacting ATC for permission, or using radios to contact towers for weather are intimidating for a someone who isn't a full-time manned aircraft pilot. I would love to transition out of the smaller drones like my Mavic 2 or Air 3 that I just got into larger ones that hold camera rigs for my commercial shoots, but I don't know where to start. Any other videos that feature specific gear or prep items would be great. I loved seeing the landing pad you use, that's a great idea. Things like logbooks or how to use the radios would be awesome. For any flight scenario that propeller guards are advised or required, are there ways to add those on to DJI-type consumer drones? Or do you need something bigger or more of a custom built setup for that? Just a few ideas off the top of my head. I love to see anything involving practical application of all the stuff we're studying. Thanks again!

@@drewkloss Thanks for the feedback! These are all great ideas that we will look to include in future videos.

Thank you for watching it!

What other topics would you like us to cover?

Good luck! Please let us know how you do.

We passed!

@@tc9568 Congrats! May you always find success as a commercial drone pilot! Keep us posted on how things are going.

The sectional charts give a lot of people issues until it finally clicks. I'd recommend going through our module on sectional charts again. It will fill in some of the gaps. Don't worry, as long as you keep studying, you'll get it!

Hello, this is one of the most difficult questions in the material. Honestly, after taking the Part 107 test in person 3 times and the recurrent several times as well, I have never seen this question on the exam. I wouldn't worry too much about this one.

Thanks for taking a look at our content!

Thanks for checking out our content!

Thanks for checking out our content. TRUST is a great place for everyone to start. Thanks for the additional information!

Hello, it can get frustrating when deciding what you need for the test. We think our course is a great one for preparing for the exam. Our practice tests help most students feel like they are well prepared. To get a feel for what we cover, check out our video on reviewing for the Part 107. If you sort our videos by length or views, it is the one at the top of the list. If you have any specific questions, feel free to email me at david@sdaltitude.com. I hope that helps! Good luck with your studies!

REMOTE ID SERIAL NUMBER * cant find this information >.<

@@Joshinyou If you load the footage to RUclips you need a Part 107 license. The FAA considers RUclips commercial work. The remote ID serial number should be in the battery compartment on the drone. it is the same serial number as the drone. Even if you don't think you will be making money by posting the footage on RUclips the FAA can still hit you on it if they choose to. A lot of people don't realize it, but that is technically what the law says. I hope that helps, thanks for watching the video!

That's the 5 dollar license correct? I've taken the trust test certification as well as paid for recreational use 5 dollars now in the process of paying another 5 dollars per the 107

Just paid and registered for the part 107 I wish I could email you pictures of what I've done so far as I have printed out what I've needed to as well saved in my email. Would I need to list both numbers on the underside of my drone 🤔

@@Joshinyou Hello, if you only have one drone, you can just list the registration number that is associated with commercial work. There is no need to put the other number since the commercial registration number can cover both. I hope that helps.

It's always best to be safe and follow the rules. Flying over people can be tricky, but we agree with you; always do it the legal way. Thanks!

Thank you for taking a look at our content!

I actually found the screen to be good, even when flying around wires. A tablet is, of course, better, but I didn't mind the screen size at all. I understand where you are coming from on the 9 miles. We like to share the specs, but like most drones, they have specs that are based on perfect conditions, which, in the real world, you will likely not see. It's a great drone, though, and I think a lot of people would enjoy having it in their fleet. Thanks for the comments!

Thank you! We wish you the best in your drone business!

They definitely have a lot on their plate now with all the issues happening in crewed aircraft.

@altitudeuniversity Is it possible that the FAA fell into focusing on bureaucratic minutia as opposed to considering real-world risk prioritization?

@@edruttledge342 I think they have a complex task trying to balance the flood of drones entering the skies compared to crewed aircraft. A bit of an over-correction, but as time goes on hopefully, it is a little more balanced :)

Thank you!

You are correct, it is within 30 days that you must give notice of an address change, thank you!

Thanks for checking out our content!

I can understand your frustration. Depending on where you live, you may fly by airports all the time, but for some people, that might not be the case. It can seem like there is a lot of extra unnecessary information on the test but it at least builds a good common ground that all pilots can understand. You may find some of it less useful for your particular situation, but at least you only need to take the in-person test once.

LOL, no worries at all. We like to throw stock footage in the mix with our drone shots and in-studio stuff. It's sometimes difficult to find b roll that isn't a little comical :)

I was in that meeting. You can tell by the graph that our Q3 numbers are through the roof

@@HippieP629@HippieP629 I came close to adding a roll that showed two drone pilots landing a drone and jumping into a mid-air high-five, lol!

@@altitudeuniversity lol That’s funny

You can get them from many different vendors, including DroneNerds, B&H, Amazon, and Walmart.

Thanks for the question. Radius is correct. You can see here at the following FAA link; www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/pham_html/chap16_section_2.html#:~:text=Class%20C%20airspace%20areas%20should%20initially%20be%20designed%20as%20two,beyond%20a%2010%20NM%20radius.

@@altitudeuniversity Ok, I understand what you were going for. The 20nm radius figure should read "20nm Diameter"
