Thank you my friend!! Hopefully next year this will fall on a day we can both check it out.

Ok, got it working. The dive case instructions weren't sufficient. It was easier to get on the app and connect from there. Had to mess around with the app, now I can take videos. I still think it should be plug and play ready. Hopefully editing and such aren't as bad.

Hey, I'm glad you got it working! I agree, the instructions aren't sufficient and it should definitely be ready to go right out of the box. I don't even try to edit on my phone any more, I only use Insta360 Studio on the Mac. Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out. Take care!

Thanks so much, Bill! I'm definitely looking forward to next year's Huck Fust. Hopefully next time around I'll be able to stay the whole time. lol Take care my friend!

Thanks for that great feedback, my friend! It means a lot. I hope you have a great time in Oak Hill!

Hello Brock and thanks for supporting the channel by purchasing Quick Quote for Drone Work. Quick question, did you populate the software section on the Rate Sheet page as described at the 6:54 mark in the video?

@@WildWonderfulWeekends yes. when I first opened spreadsheet it said FALSE where yours shows checkmarks. Once completed following steps it remained the same

@@brockdavis834 Got it... sorry it's giving you some trouble. I just checked the link and it seemed to download correctly for me. Let me send you a fresh copy to try again. What is the email address you used to purchase the Quick Quote sheet with? Or, maybe easier, can you reply to the email you received the Quick Quote from my BuyMeACoffee page?

Thank you, Trisha!! You're too kind, my friend. ;)

Absolutely, my friend... I believe I've used it more for exactly that kind of thing than any other scenario. The second one is probably when I need somebody to come pick me up at a boat ramp after I've kayaked further than I had originally planned. lol

I'm glad it was useful!!

Wow, that is really too bad. When MGC first started out it was a great all-around drone mission planning and flight solution. But I believe they just arrived on the scene a bit too late. Other solutions like DroneDeploy and Pix4D already had the professional market kind of cornered. Then they were bought out by Eagle and they became a lot less friendly to the pilots / customers, in my opinion, and I would say it just finally imploded. That's all speculation though, things have changed in my area a lot and the bulk of my drone work now is event / wedding and commercial real estate gigs.

Yes sir, spot on.

Hi Janet! Gotta love it. :)

It's frustrating for sure, and "support" isn't much help. With new competitors coming up, like Kandao's Qoocam Ultra 3, I think I'm going to give another company a try when it's time to upgrade. Good luck to you, my friend!

Yes, they have DEFINITELY let their standards drop dramatically. IF you're interested in pursuing jobs through them, you can email [email protected] and tell them you need your onboarding training (or any other training they offer for the types of gigs you want to fill). But, again, I'd proceed with caution. Take care, my friend!

Thanks my friend!

Thanks so much, Dorine!! I needed that kind feedback today, my friend. Take care!

@@WildWonderfulWeekends most welcome! Big hugs

@@dorinevanderwijk4745 :)

Wow... I'm sorry that happened to you. Definitely sounds vindictive. Unfortunately there probably isn't much you can do to force them to reinstate your account. If I was in your situation, I would do my best to realize that Zeitview isn't the company to help me grow in the direction I want and I would consider it goodbye to bad rubbish. On the bright side, you've definitely gained lots of real-world experience and you can use that to start developing your own business or apply to join another team of drone pilots. Drones IO is another gig company that tends to pay better than Zeitview and also has good support for pilots. You may want to check them out. Good luck to you my friend!

@@WildWonderfulWeekends Thank you for your swift response, I'll look into Drones IO and see what role(s) they're in need of! I appreciate that!

@@jsh4401 You're very welcome! Here's their website: droners.io/

I think you are right about them leaving it to the pilot to break the rules for their benefit. They have become quite sketchy. And thank you for the point on LAANC absolute altitude. You are correct. Section 3.5 of this document... www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/laanc_for_industry/LAANC_USS_Performance_Rules.pdf ...states it. So Zeitview's request was just fully impossible.

Thanks for checking out the video, I'm glad it was useful!

I'll bet you are right!

Good info share! Thanks!

Oh wow... my advice would be to get in touch with tech support. Good luck!

Thank you my friend!

Thank you for watching my video!

A fair question, my friend... a fair question. ;)

That sucks, my friend. I've only been able to connect mine to my phone twice since activating. I finally gave up on that and only use the Insta360 Studio app on my Mac to edit videos. But, that limits me on some of the special effect capabilities that are only available on the mobile app. It's crap.

@@WildWonderfulWeekendswell I’m glad you made the video since this issue seems to be more common than what I see from all the glowing reviews by camera KZfaqrs who never mentioned this.

@@techbrojoe Yeah, it's the same way with new drones. Almost everyone has nothing but good things to say about them but there are usually a lot of problems... at least early on. I appreciate you watching my video!

@@WildWonderfulWeekends same here, i can't connect to Bluetooth and app dont work, ai dont work, lots of errors.

@@gizmo-dog It's garbage, from the fourth iteration of a product and from a company that isn't exactly new at this game. With new competition in the field now, I think I'll try a different company when it's time to upgrade. Good luck to you!

Thanks for checking out my video! I hope you enjoy your kayaks, I still have mine and I take it with me every time I'm traveling and there just might be a chance for me to get out on the water but I don't want to roof-top a hard boat. Take are!

Yes sir, I hope it's helpful! It's not a long-term solution, of course. But it can get ya by for a bit... it has me, at least.

Thanks for checking it out!

You need a Perception Access 11.5 . I did a comparison vs the 9.5.

Yes! I'm glad we have one so close.

Hey, thanks for the kind feedback! I use follow mode because I like to lock the horizon from tilting but I still want the camera to move side to side as I round corners or make turns, and I like to be able to look up and down if / when that makes sense for what I'm recording. Hope that helps, take care!

I've never attached one to a life vest, but that's a great idea. Let me look into a bit and I'll let you know if I find anything that looks promising.

@@WildWonderfulWeekends thank you for replying!

Interesting. I never had to do anything to have the app recognize my drone. My controller was already paired with my drone, of course, and I had regularly used the DJI Go app and Drone Deploy. So once I installed MGC, it just worked. You may want to consult their tech support to see what they say.

⁠@@WildWonderfulWeekends it’s recognizing the drone it’s just the when u make a flight plan an try fly just light don’t go green an let u fly

@@WildWonderfulWeekends how can I get in touch with there tech support

@@JoeOne-l3j Ah, gotcha... hmmm, I'm not sure. There are no errors about the flight path or anything?

@@JoeOne-l3j Start here, and good luck my friend. help.measure.com/en/help/kb-tickets/new

Good eye, yes it is! It's a 12.10.

Thanks!! I appreciate the kind feedback! I need to shoot an updated version of this video with the Insta360 x4 mounted to that harness because the stabilization is a lot better.

What do ya mean??

Thanks, my friend!!

Thanks for checking out my video! I'm glad it was useful.

Good for you, glad you had success.

Oh wow, that is interesting. I'm glad you were able to find that workaround. Thanks for the kind feedback!

Thanks for the great feedback and for subscribing! I'm glad the video was useful.

Hey! I hope it was useful in some way, even if it's just that you know you aren't the only one having trouble with this camera. lol

Thank you for the kind feedback, my friend. Much appreciated!

Currently I’m a commercial airline pilot. I’ve been Flying drones for years. Retirement gig I was thinking about getting into mapping. Any suggestions?

@@Themachinewon That's a great question. So much is in flux right now when it comes to drones and drone work. My whole business model has shifted from inspections and mapping to center more around event and wedding photography / videography. With the DJI ban and growing concerns over data privacy / security, companies are becoming more reluctant to work with small operations (like mine). I've seen a lot of new growth in larger drone service providers that contract the work to local pilots. Which, in my mind, is a bit ironic because most of the folks who fill those jobs are less experienced and not as connected to the drone service provider or the client. The other thing I'm seeing, is companies buying their own drones and cross training employees to be drone pilots or hiring them on. I don't think that will last forever though, and the whole thing will probably shake out into a model very similar to how IT is handled now for most larger companies. A couple years ago, I would've said get a drone with a global shutter, RTK capabilities, and lots of batteries and a good, portable charging system. I would've also recommended Pix4D as your software (I've had a lot of trouble with DroneDeploy while in the field and it kind of soured me to it). But honestly, now, I'm not entirely sure what the right moves would be. The first thing I would try to figure out is, which drone manufacturers are making solid products that aren't threatened by the current ban or coming bans.

@@WildWonderfulWeekends That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Reality. To start off I did look into the different models and I picked the Autel Evo Max 4T. Not only for enjoyment, I just flying drones for fun, but I like hunting for animals and seeing things at night. I figured I might just do local roof inspections and real estate shoots just for the fun ,side cash. Along with my Bee Removal service . I’m not really looking to do a full-blown job for anybody. Now I see with all the gadgets and sales pitches on the web, they all keep going on and about extras for drones ,,, there’s always sub systems that are really expensive and have subscriptions that are required or network connections of some type. $$$ I really appreciate your real time, real world experience on how things are playing out today in the industry. Job wise. Thanks DHL pilot 767 Heavy

@@Themachinewon I think that drone is an excellent choice, super versatile. I just subscribed to your channel, btw.

Thank you!! Let's go back. ;)

Thanks for the kind feedback on my video! Ironically, very shortly after making this video I was pushed out of the cell tower inspection scene by a new company that expanded into my area and pretty much took over that niche. On top of that, with all the mistrust surrounding DJI and capturing data they shouldn't, I've lost a LOT of my infrastructure work too. I'm revamping the services I offer now to be tailored toward events (weddings, parties, etc), adventure photography / videography, and real estate including virtual tours.

Yea…. I was doing tons of a cell tower 3dmodels/inspections a couple years ago. A lot of the work has dried up :/

@@aethos0 I know just what you mean. The landscape is still changing in this field... pretty quickly, too.

I do not... but I can do some digging.

Thanks so much! I'm having some trouble getting the quality in my 360 videos that I see other people getting with their x4 cameras, so it's something I'm working on. You should definitely check out the Kanawha Falls, it's a beautiful place to paddle. It's pretty easy to stay close to the falls, when the water flow is 4,000 cubic square feet per second and below. Above that, and I usually stay a pretty good distance from the falls. The tricky part is keeping the kayak straight. Since water is coming in from different directions it creates a lot of turbulence.

​​​@@WildWonderfulWeekendsit looks really good though! Now most of this won't apply on every device. But On my quest 3, I've noticed the KZfaq app is strange. So the only time 8k vr videos play, is if they're 180 degrees and 4320s60. 30fps caps it at 2160s. On 360 videos, the max I've seen is 2160s60. But you Google it, and it's supposed to support KZfaq vr 8k and 360 degrees. But it doesn't with the native KZfaq vr app The tl;Dr, the only way your kanawha falls video would look better on the quest, is if it was 2160s60 instead of just 2160s. But as is, it looks really great!
