Hey guys, no bush planes in this one, hope you guys don't mind me sharing a little about what I do for a living. Let me know if you guys would like me to show more stuff like this or just stick with the bush flying. Oh, and happy Friday!!!

“That little inspire” “It’s to much of a toy” I thought my phantom was big

If I ever grow up [I won't. I'm 64 now] I want to be just like you. Thanks for sharing. This was cool

Trent, that was really interesting. Good compromise between showing and not showing - thank the team for allowing you to do this. The shot starting on the dolly circling the girl and then taking off must have come out amazing. So yes, some more of this from time to time would be great. Keep up the good work!

“Flying the little drone today” (cuts to the Inspire) I'm a Mavic pilot, it hurts ;)

When your videos open with, “I fly drones for a living and bush planes for fun,” I always wondered how does someone finance a lifestyle like this. I absolutely LOVE this video and would love more. I also love all the bush plane videos as well. The only thing left would be pilot, drone and bush plane, instructional videos. Keep up the great work Mr Trent Palmer!

My fav video of yours so far. Love the behind the scenes filming content. Of course I love the bush flying too ;) -Jeremy

I’m three minutes in and beyond words The shots you have in this are absolutely unbelievable... Truly magnificent work from a truly fantastic professional

Awesome man! Love the insight into your profession. “Flying the LITTLE drone today” he says about the Inspire. 🤙🤣

and i am nervous flying over a pool with a 1000$ drone😂

As an aviator myself i love watching yours and others flight channels but Trent, seriously....... You get the most beautiful and visually stunning vids by far. Love everything you do.... Keep it up mate

Just found your channel. When I grow up, I wanna be like you....oh wait too late!!!! I'm 65! Great channel dude.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! In an another video maybe go into the actual mechanics of doing a shoot. It looks like you have a pilot and a cameraman working together? Great job, keep it up!

Most aerial cinematography companies in Wisconsin are running DJI stuff. Cool to see how a production works with the bigger stuff.

Trent Palmer's motion picture drone Master Class, sign me up! Flying Drone, Camera Operator, working with the DP. When on set. Knowing the Industry. Self promoting, stuff like that.

I was a cameraman 35 years ago, you guys are so lucky cameras and tripods are so light now! Those RED cameras are wicked!

...And I thought my Phantom 4 was a pain the the ass to travel with

Trent, I believe this is one of your best vlogs. You have sincerely been blessed with an awesome job and lifestyle! Make sure you take time to appreciate it all. Keep up the awesome work. I really enjoy your content!

The dolly arch to flyaway shot is one of the coolest I’ve seen

He literally flys drones that cost almost 3 times the cost of his plane

Excellent VLOG. Would love to see the end result of the shoots when they air.

More, More More! You know I'm a fan of Copterkids and I'd love to see and learn anything you're willing to share. Great job on the edit/story, tech info is always a pleasure for those of us dreaming about an Alta 8, I2 X7 & X5s tips are always appreciated as well for us folks in the toy $$. Thanks, hope to see you one of these days.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this experience.

Great stuff man I loved it! I kept waiting for your Kit Fox to zoom down between the skyscrapers......

Love it! When the film is released you will have to let us know the name so that we may watch it. Keep all these flying related videos coming, they are awesome.

I am completely amazed by your set up. That controller to control your gimble is amazing. Drone with a red camera. True Cinematography lens and wireless focus. That is the real deal.

This is the best collection of equipment I’ve seen to date. You have a great life. Enjoy!

Epic, as always. That drone setup seems a liiiiiitttle more involved than our Spark

I love it all! Where do you get your music from? I need to know especially at 6:43 :)

Great to see a day in the world life of Trent Palmer. Interesting how you are the pilot and then you have a cameraman doing his thing. Makes complete sense. That BIG BOY drone looks the BOMB!

Your channel is the only one I've subscribed to after watching just one video. I'm a private pilot in instrument training...keep the awesomeness coming!

Great video and very interesting to see your day job. It would be great if you could go over the drones and gear and how each is setup and operated - when you have some spare time 😀

Damn, I've done the same job with already expensive toys, I'd have a heart attack with that red on the belly

That last dolly takeoff was epic. Kinda want to try something like that myself now!

Dude that is freakin rad! I don't know how I missed this video? You and Mike patey have been my biggest motivators for getting my own airplane. Got an old tri-pacer and am just waiting on the FAA so I can solo. Like I had mentioned on Mike's last scrappy video this flying stuff has helped me mentally bigtime. I'm a Marine combat vet who struggles with ptsd and being angry at our country. Flying has been the only thing that takes it all away. Bought my plane right before my dad died this summer. Flying has also really helped me so far dealing with losing my dad.... so I know this is long winded and don't know if you will see it but if so thank you!! Hopefully I can make it to Oshkosh to meet a few of you motivators and snag some good energy.

“That little Inspire” haha

you have one hell of a scary job man , gr8t job u just earn one more sub keep up the good work :D

MAN... You're my favorite vlogger by far! Greatings from a student pilot in the Netherlands

Very cool video. NDA bummer. Nicely done. I produced a tv fishng show from 1993-2010. We used a helicopter for aerial shots a few times in a tournament. Now it's drones. You have some serious drones and cameras there. Your co-workers are great actors. Pushing the truck was great. Love seeing drones in flight.

Very cool VLOG. Thanks for sharing your day job with us.

0:42 a UFO at top right!

I love both aspects in this channel! The drones because I’m just starting out as a part 107 and the Bush Planes because it’s a dream of mine still! Awesome stuff! Thank you!

Our brotherhood is small so thanks for making a video with a nice look into what we do on set all day. You maybe made it look more glamorous than it is though. Seems like a lot of days its more humping gear than flying drones and playing with cameras. Also, between drone batts, movi batts, accessory bats etc. I've now just resorted to telling people I'm a professional battery charger. Anyway, nice wok shooting around the NDA, hopefully you had client/producers sign off on this before publishing ;) From an crew across the border in Canada!!

So are year later, is the NDA lifted?

I thought the Inspire was a beast of drone and yet clearly it’s a “toy”.

As a retired stills photographer often working alongside UK cine crews on TV commercials this took me back to those tough but satisfying days. I now fly UAVs and make movies at a recreational level so it was interesting to see how “The big boys” function these days. Definitely more like this please.

You earn your money Trent,flying from that forest looked tricky weaving between those trees and the downtown shots looked spectacular too,loved this video with your usual quality footage,thank you for this insight into your working life,more please !

How's your plane man? Did you find any further damage after that landing?

Today I learned the inspire is a Toy.. Go Movi. Great vid..

I am impressed! Someone who doesn't fly drones would not appreciate how difficult it is to fly a camera platform like yours in such circumstances. Not only do you have to make sure you get the shot, but you have to make sure your little drone buddy comes home safely, you don't fly it unsafely around other people. AND you have to make sure while you are juggling all those balls, you stay within the legal parameters. Wow. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this. Did you build your drone?

Thanks for posting your work vlog, have been following a few USA aircraft vids lately and came across you.. purchashed my first drone a couple of months ago, done a couple of webnars and have just purchased a basic course, yet to complete, ex RAF, have flown gliders in my youth the drone is a pre retirement treat so I can record some footage whilst I am out in my canoe, boy you were lucky with your engine failure landing and subsequent recovery. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff. Stay safe. Gavin.P Suffolk England.

I could make the same shot with my mini and post grade the footage 😂

7:00 how did it get inverted?!

You do great work man. Thanks for capturing your work and life on YT.

Trent it is so cool seeing some of the commercial side of what me and a lot of viewers only mess with as a hobby, and the more vids of you I watch you are just and all around awesome dude, thanks for sharing

Yoooo Trent is swagiling! Check that hat! These guys are always one step ahead. Doing before the drones and before all these others dudes started to come up. I remember when I started in 2012 and these guys had the most amazing reel.

Thanks for the insight into what you do. Am happy to see more of your aerial videography work and also bush flying. Good on you for creating your dream job. Many thanks from Australia 👍🏻

Awesome job Trent. Your coverage and b-roll rock. So fun. Fly it like you stole it!! Lol Always fly safe man #1. Great Job!! Love the RED / Alta

I've thought my yuneec h920 tornado was big but you drone certainly is bigger . Brilliant footage

Live your editing and video quality. I watch hundreds of videos every month and yours are at the top for quality.

My son is a 'licensed drone pilot', for a large construction company. The company has a couple dozen drones around the country. He mainly edits the videos, and tries to leave the flying to the younger guys who have the time to practice and stay sharp. Their priciest is an $11k drone with a $10k camera. And flying them around and inside sites, like the Atlanta stadium, is risky. The metal will mess with the GPS and radio signals, so the drone may go off in the wrong direction. And all the cranes and wires add to the risk. It's an intersting job.

Please show more! Loved the video! This is my dream job. Been flying as a hobbyist for 3 years now and can't think of nothing I'd rather do for a living.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your life! Wan´t to see more drone/work/tech stuff!

“On the little inspire” 😂 “too much of a toy” 😂 no but for real I get it, great video!

That truck is awesome. The black is definitely a sharp looking truck. However, I would need a wash bay at my house! Nice footage. Your definitely very skilled at what you do.

Yo have to have one of the coolest intros ever. Never gets old!

Awesome video, I bet most people think small drones, it just blows my mind to see the size and think about the cost of all that equipment that you haul around. I can see why you unload truck and move everything into your living quarters. No way anything goes out of sight. Enjoyed all of this even if it did not have a bush plane in it.

Just got my FAA 107 a few weeks ago and subscribed to your channel to get a better idea of what a professional drone pilot does day to day. Thanks for the content.

You have made it if the inspire is the “small toy” version of your drones. Well done sir

Yes, racking iris is one of my major wishes for the X7. Another is a decent low latency pilot cam. I'm doing really tight forest flying and it's impossible with the stock pilot can as well as LOS. I mounted the 50ms Connex ProSight and it makes all the difference in the world.

Humble and fantastic. I'm still flying single rotor. I want to add an inspire 2 with x7 but I dislike DJI, but it would allow safer tight areas.

Very cool. Thank you Trent for showing us a glimpse into the professional realm of drone flying. And yes I would enjoy more of this in addition to your Kitfox. :)

Loved this! Really cool to see behind the scenes of the big boys instead of the DJI stuff that's all over the internet. If you do another one, any chance at garage tour? At 0:53, looks nice and organized. Always looking for inspiration and ideas to clean up my space at home.

SICK!!! Yeah bro, so stoked you started doing these. Can't wait for more man!

Trent, very happy you shared your work - more of this would be cool as well

That redwood to skyscraper transition though!

Wow, as a recent film graduate being able to see real life dolly shots that move right into arial shots looks awesome and is so confirming for what i plan to do in life. Thank you so much.

I started working as a drone pilot not too long ago, mostly tower inspections, agriculture, real estate and other smaller jobs. I gotta tell you my Yuneec H520 and Parrot Bluegrass are like toys compared to the Alta's.They are great drones.

Trent, you’re so gifted with a camera and video!!! Wow! How many times can I rewind, rewatch these? 😁

Just bought my first drone, Mavic Air. I produce internet videos for clients, but your footage and the experience I'm having with my introduction into drone flying are inspiration. I wish I would have gotten a drone years ago. I can definitely see me buying something bigger later and your talk about aviation was great in another video. Seeing the world from above looking down is just so inspiring. I'm definitely going to check out getting some experience flying planes. Loved this particular video. My cousin is a model and a lot of my buddies are in the film industry. I live in the Ozarks in Missouri so its a different vibe out here. Everything is hunting, fishing and boating, but this video was thrilling and got me pumped about flying drones and trying to get bigger clients/bigger opportunities even for around here. Would love to see another video like this one. The whole crew in your video made for fun characters in your story. Keep it up, great videos!

this will be my job as well, and i have already started a little thing with my friends, im only 14. this was very amazing to see!

I know I'm playing catchup here, but it was cool to see what you do with drones. Didn't need a 'break' from flying but this was cool. The occasional squirrel is all good.

Good Shit TRENTON Im liking the vlogs about your lifestyle. Keep them coming along with the bush plane vids!

Nice job piecing this together. Not easy when you’re blacked out. Dig the intro. #butter I had a little pucker factor when you were flying through the trees. That looked dicey, but you’re like, NBD.

Very interesting Trent! Wish i could fly with the Cowboys! 71 yr.old no license. Missed the boat, thanks from Dennis

Awesome! My cousin does the same type of work. I believe he worked on The Revenant.

seems like Trent is living the life. Play with toys for a living and go to cool place. I'm jealous for sure.

The beginning of your video reminded me of the days, when I was still an aerial camera assistant (Pre Filmtools days) I would ALWAYS request a ground based hotel room if available. Having to use an elevator to get all of the gear up to the room could add 20-30 minutes to the beginning and end to each day. Most people don't realize that as a camera tech, an additional hour, minimum, is needed to wrap and prep the gear for the following days. Finally (after getting my start in 1972) I moved up to Aerial and 2nd unit Camera Operator on Magnum P.I. in '82 and the work hours diminished just a little. No matter what, Aerial Units always have long hours, especially when we need to report to the actual shooting location for sunrise AND sunset. At the end of the day, all of the hours put in are worth the time and effort. I'll bet that you can emphasize with me. The shots of your truck loaded with Pelican cases brought back a bunch of "good times" memories. Thanks for sharing.🚁 www.imdb.com/name/nm0565623/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Variety is the "spice-of-life". All VERY interesting.

It all has to do with Budget. Usually not always but usually a heavy lift (Alta) aircraft is like having an F16 to do crop dusting. DJI is moving into the commercial space with the X7. How often are you going to Iris Rack while rolling? Sometimes.. and if you have the budget I agree.. fly heavy. But there is a reason why you have the Inspire 2 w/ x7 with you. Good video.

I was feeling childish for flying my drone around (I'm 62) but not any more. You have a great job!

Very cool job Trent. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very cool setup! I cannot believe that spot in the redwoods!

Awesome.

Trent, this is way cool. thanks for the peek at what you do.

Now I know why people say the M600 Pro and the Inspire 2 isn't enough. Really opened my eyes to things that I didn't know before

Trent, great vid. You NEED to make more content like this! Not many are showing the ins/outs of being a professional Drone pilot and this would be a huge help to so many. Would like to see vids about your gear and more of the same about the shoots you go on.

Damn, Trent -- what a tumult of mixed emotions you brought up in me by shooting around SF. I moved there when I was 18, got out when I was 42. Every shot you did in this is nostalgic for me even though I hate the place now, along with all big cities. There's nothing glamorous about being stuck in traffic or being immersed in 24/7 noise.

My first and only so far is the DJI Spark. Justified the purchase because it would help me get my DIY solar system approved for me to install and I'd be able to use it for my channel as well.

Love your video man and watch this over and over as it really excite me every time i watch. I am Inspire Pilot so you know what i mean ;) Post more like this
