The Drone Trainer Podcast

Adrian Jones

If you're looking to make the jump from sporadic revenue to scalable and consistent growth in your drone business, TDT Pro is for you! Check out The Drone Trainer Pro right here! Adrian Jones is a drone pilot from California, who has recently started his drone business. He's working full time in the IT industry, but is looking to make a break and start working with his drones full time. Since starting out with drones, he's flown the Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 Pro, and now the Mavic 2 Pro. When he gets the ball rolling, he's looking at creating a unique system on his site to let Realtors choose their shoots. His plan is to shoot a series of movements and scenes, and then allow realtors to pick which shot they'd like to employ. He's also knows that some Realtors will allow him creative freedom, and won't use a system like that, but he hopes for those that are hands-on this will be a great system. Since he's new to the drone world, I asked Adrian if he wishes that he would have done anything differently. His recommendation was to not spend too much too early. It's easy to spend, thinking that you're going to be making bank at the start, but it's better to wait. He regrets purchasing an expensive iMac computer and some other equipment, when he should have been out concentrating on creating content and developing his business. Great advice Adrian! We also discuss the possibility of certain drones sending information back home. I wrote an article covering off my thoughts on it, and think it's time to make an update based on some info that Adrian provided. I wasn't aware, but apparently there are app developers working on blockers to ensure that your data stays with you, and isn't transferred back to an unintended server. What are your thoughts?

He's working full time in the IT industry, but is looking to make a break and start working with his drones full time. Since starting out with drones, he's flown the Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 Pro, and now the Mavic 2 Pro. When he gets the ball rolling, he's looking at creating a unique system on his site to let Realtors choose their shoots.

Houston Brown

If you're looking to make the jump from sporadic revenue to scalable and consistent growth in your drone business, TDT Pro is for you! Check out The Drone Trainer Pro right here! Houston Brown is a luxury real estate photographer and drone pilot, who has carved out a niche shooting multimillion dollar ranches in the Dallas area. He started off as a ground based photographer, and branched out into drones once realtors started expecting aerials added to their marketing materials. In addition to just shooting luxury real estate, Houston is marketing himself as a luxury photographer. How do you market yourself as a luxury real estate drone photographer? Well, he starts by providing premiere services to his clients, and spending upwards of 2 or 3 days at each property. Yeah, you read that right! He isn't spending a few hours there, he is spending multiple days from sunrise to sunset to ensure that he captures everything in the best light. When properties are selling in excess of $20,000,000, this kind of effort is definitely appreciated by the realtors and their clients. I asked Houston if he has heard of any specific sale that was driven by his photo and video productions, but he didn't have a concrete example to refer to. What he did have though, was examples of other realtors commenting to his realtor client that the work was excellent. In my mind, that is HUGE, as when other realtors are noticing his work they are definitely going to have that certain property at front of mind and bring their clients to see it. It also helps Houston, as those other realtors are going to call him next when they have a luxury ranch listing! Thats a nice cycle for all involved!

Tom Noske

If you're looking to make the jump from sporadic revenue to scalable and consistent growth in your drone business, TDT Pro is for you! Check out The Drone Trainer Pro right here! Tom Noske is a drone pilot from Melbourne, Australia, that is creating beautiful pieces of art with his drone. Yeah, we're going to learn all about his shooting style and editing process during this chat! Tom is currently flying the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, and absolutely loves the larger Hasselblad sensor. He was flying the original Mavic Pro, but since upgrading he's caught the bug for larger sensors. Yeah, that means that the Inspire 2 is on his list for his next purchase. On the commercial side of things, Tom is working with sports teams and fitness professionals. He works with rugby teams, rowing teams, and wants to get into shooting music videos. He's also doing corporate work like real estate, but admits that he doesn't like it as much as the other areas. His editing workflow starts in Adobe Lightroom and then moves into Photoshop. He starts with camera calibrations, tone curves, white balance, and some other basic adjustments in Lightroom. Once in Photoshop, he adds and removes new things, creates atmosphere, moves subjects around, and then returns to Lightroom. Why back to LR? Well, you'll have to listen in to get that detail! One of Tom's biggest tips is that you should always shoot at sunrise or sunset. He loves using the natural light, and creating large scale photos. How about you? Do you like shooting at sunrise or sunset? Do you find that in the summer sunrise is too early to catch, so you find that sunset is easier to make? Ok I hope that you enjoyed this week's chat with Tom Noske from Melbourne. As you can see from the photo above, and his instagram profile, he is creating some incredible art.

Sinuhe Montoya

Sinuhe Montoya is a drone pilot who saw an opportunity to use his drone to help get solar panels installed. How does that happen? Well, he actually doesn't invite any of the installers with him, but instead he runs everything through his business DroneQuote. How does that work? Well without giving it all away, he saw a need to eliminate painful in home solar panel sales calls by pre-shooting with his drone. Once a home has been shot, he sends the opportunity out to other installers who then bid on the job! Pretty awesome idea, isn't it?

Since starting with the Phantom 2, Mika has upgraded to the Phantom 3 Pro and now the Phantom 4 Pro. He discusses how well the P3P worked for him, and how beneficial DJI Care was when he had an unfortunate crash. DJI care starts at only $59, and can be well worth it in case of a crash. I didn't purchase it with my last drone, however after speaking with a few others like Mika recently, it seems like a no brainer for my next purchase.

I was referred to Jason and Blake from BoE systems by Ryan Murphy, who some of you may remember from podcast episode 5. Ryan has recently started working with BoE Systems and their drone LiDAR solution, and recommended getting them on the show to help spread their good word. Jason and Blake have developed an affordable drone LiDAR system, where subcontractors can lease their equipment rather than forking over the full price for a very expensive drone LiDAR system. I'll save the costs associated for the podcast episode itself, but I'm sure after you listen that the wheels will be spinning about your own business opportunities! This is definitely one of the most technical episodes that I've had so far, as we get into the differences between drone LiDAR and photogrammetry, overlap, and how to capture power lines with your imagery.

Cheyenne Laux

If you're looking to make the jump from sporadic revenue to scalable and consistent growth in your drone business, TDT Pro is for you! Check out The Drone Trainer Pro right here! Cheyenne Laux is a drone pilot based in Kentucky, who is operating a drone business with his brother-in-law. His company is called AgDrone PRO, and they concentrate on providing actionable drone data for precision agriculture. Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. Cheyenne and his company utilize drones to capture data, which they can turn into direct action for farmers. Long gone are the days of wasting resources on the entire field! Now you can simply apply to the areas that need it, instead of covering the entire field in the same amounts. With large areas of land to cover, Cheyenne is utilizing a combo of multi-rotor and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drones to capture his data. In addition to the drone, he's also flying a variety of multispectral sensors to capture everything from RGB (red/green/blue) to NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index). So far he's been flying the AeroVironment Quantax, and has recently started working with the BirdsEyeView FireFLY6. Both systems are VTOL, and can carry Slantrange sensors. Since they're running a team of drone pilots across the country, they need a management solution to keep tabs on all their equipment, pilots, and missions. Recently, Cheyenne was contacted by the Kittyhawk team about their drone fleet management software. They've just started using it, however love what they see so far. If you're also managing a team of drone pilots, this may be of interest to you too. Anyway, we had a nice long chat about Precision Ag and VTOL drones. Hopefully you enjoy listening in, and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us in the comments below. Also, if you like the show, we'd love for you to share it with another drone pilot!

Walt Snider

If you're looking to make the jump from sporadic revenue to scalable and consistent growth in your drone business, TDT Pro is for you! Check out The Drone Trainer Pro right here! Walt Snider is an IT professional and Office 365 trainer based in Miami Florida. He is a photographer that has a lot of interest in drones, and has a LOT of questions! In this episode we're going to turn the tables a little as Walt will be asking most of the drone questions, and I'm answering them off the cuff. Yeah, no prep so you can hear me fire off answers in real time instead of having a lot of time to prepare. As you'll hear, I love talking about drones and have a good time in this podcast episode with Walt. Anyway, we cover a lot of drone related topics, and get into everything from definitions to specific drone behaviours and how to choose which drone to purchase. We start off talking about return to home features, and quickly get into drone mapping and modelling, photogrammetry, drones with and without GPS, and much more.
