I passed the 107 2 weeks ago. I was ready to buy the DJI mini 4, but have gotten cold feet. This video inspired me not to give up so easy.

I think the video might've been better as a two part series I think? Since there was only a small section covering ACTUAL opportunities near the end of the video. Though there was a lot of useful info to completely new pilots but some of it is inaccurate depending on the category of your drone or may be very region specific. For example; In my country (and I believe the US too) if your drone is under 250g you only need commercial licensing if you're actually employed by a company as a pilot, if not all you really need is drone insurance if you're just travelling and doing it as a side-hustle. Which you can get by becoming part of a drone club, which might have agreements with the FAA/CAA or whatever aviation authority it is where you live that give members certain benefits outside the standard regulations. Said clubs may offer discounts if you do want to go down the commercial licensing route too though and actually start a business. Something like that is WELL worth looking into.

Very nice. After I get my drone I plan on getting some training on learning to fly. I’d rather start with a company that hires/recruits pilots for that experience before going solo wouldn’t you think?

If you want to go that route, I suggest you look into drone network providers like Droners.io; you create a free account and update your profile. Then, when they have jobs in your area, they will contact you to see if you're interested. Its a great way to make some money if you don't have a large client list yet.

Enjoying Jonathan's videos for the business side of drones....as for 107: I would caution to study content that's updated to include 2024 information as Remote ID is such a game changer and major aspect of the exam it alone could affect your score from pass to fail. Most of the best guides on KZfaq are a bit outdated. Peltier Photo Courses - They offer a $15 two-month access to it's pool of 300 practice exam questions where you can take the 60 question practice test unlimited times. This may have been the most effective and invaluable tool for me. Every practice exam online is the same it seems. Peltier rose above the competition. I retook it maybe 10 times, and my score went from a fledging 68-70% initially to mid 90s come the day of my exam. Free Content, Mr Migs - After my first 68% and I realized how little I knew, I fount Mr. Migs on KZfaq - He really goes into the abstract parts of the exam that many "run of the mill" study guides miss or glaze over; weather, runway orientation, Remote ID, etc. Courses, Pilot Institute. My rationale: Consider the content that's available for free; they're the ones posting actual interviews with FAA reps on new drone law changes and what's more is they're only one of a few listed companies that the FAA directly refers you to from the .gov website. Committed to legal drone operation, they'll even send you FAA registration stickers for your drone for free, sign up for nothing. They have a ton of free content which is probably more than you'll need, although it's worth scratching the surface to discover all they teach, especially post 107. (Not affiliated with any of those - just what I used to score a 90%. Spent $15 on studying. I could have for nothing, but the full access Peltier practice exams really gave me peace of mind.)

Id like to add! The Dji Enterprise drones are a bit expensive but drone mapping or thermal imagining are one of the top jobs for drone pilots too. “Mavic 3 Enterprise” or “Mavic 3 thermal” After i buy the mavic 3 pro cine Im going to buy the mavic 3 thermal to do thermal jobs. Thanks for giving this information fast and not drag it out to make a longer video.

Could you fly inside a home for the virtual walk-through or is that silly.
@JonathanRichey
@JonathanRichey 3 ай бұрын
Not silly. I've seen it done before. I think you would need to justify using that vs. a gimbal though. Flying a drone inside a house is risky and could cause significant damage if you crash so make sure you have that insurance! But, it could also be a way to separate you from the competition. Lastly, I would look at using an FPV drone because it can fly in ways traditional drones cannot.

I've always flown indoors with all my drones. With the Mavic Mini 4 I set it into Sports mode or it will not move. So before you fly indoors,..... learn how to really fly your drone.

@@hubsanrcproductions7222 I would look on FB Marketplace. I've seen some pretty good deals on there. Depending on how severe the crash is, you might be able to repair it instead of buying another one. In the end, its always a risk flying a drone no matter what. To mitigate the risks, I recommend finding a huge empty field with no trees or power lines and practice, practice, practice!

​@@hubsanrcproductions7222as Jonathan has stated start slow to become a competent pilot and comfortable first with. I have the connections to get clients pretty quickly however, and I have my 107 license now prior to even gaining experience therefore I am taking my time myself. I purchased a cheap drone first and did not do well at first but again and may I suggest learning drones more so by taking careful notes on the controls and even utilize an online drone simulator to put your notes in use. I recommend doing that for several days putting in around 10 hours or more before putting the time into your actual drone the same way. Jonathan is a good drone educator and frankly one of the best around. I wished he lived closer to take some of the opportunities I have on a commission based on the meantime. Unfortunately he lives a few states away so that simply will not work. My family owns a chain (18 in total) five star restaurants under my family's last name operating for 74 years now since 1948 in a few states and was in Jonathan's state at one time. We also have a real estate agency under my last name and a relative who's a real estate agent. Well known mechanic shop and pro car racer also. I am personally well known as a former alternate Olympian who lived and trained at the OTC (Olympic training center) in Colorado springs also under a college scholarship. Like I stated, I simply do not want to rush clients in the drone industry as they would come in fast. I was offered contracts already for a pool company already when I first was studying for my 107 exam taking videos of their construction areas for underground pools. I advised them that I had to learn the drone first.
