GJ on the 107.
IMHO, drones are really comparable now for commercial/ industrial use.
Sure some of the leading edge FPVs have differentiators, but otherwise (1) can YOU fly it well, (2) good enough battery life, (3) good enough camera(s), and (4) good enough file mgmt and photo editing.
The rest is marketing.
Marketing has always been the weak point. Technical has never really been a problem. I learned from some very good people back in my public TV days in the 90s.
I produced a few hundred stock clips that are still up on Pond5, Shutterstock, and Adobe. They used to be a somewhat decent bit of extra money. I liked producing for myself. Sometimes I hired local talent and met a few very good ones I would use anytime.
Every so often something does sell. There is so much saturation now plus commissions don’t pay anywhere near as well as they did. I pretty much stopped producing then.
So far what I’ve done with the BWINE I really can’t complain.
I usually take it up to the country for testing on weekends.
The test was really not much. It took me about 10 minutes. I spent another 5 or 10 reviewing and changed maybe 3 answers. I made a 92.
I took what turned out to be a good online drone operator course, did the test simulators and read the grade reports some. I also consulted a few of the higher rated Youtube channels that helped clarify a couple of things.
A week before the test I did the exam simulators maybe two or three times a day at random times every day. I wanted to pass. The study paid off.
