Pictures after a year using Sony cameras

It takes a special talent to create this. You definitely have that. And a way cool workplace these days. And your coworkers...
 
I have an interest in using a drone for inspections. It would be helpful for solar inspections where a tile roof is involved. I don't walk on tile roofs and some roofs are just too scary. I doubt that the AHJ that I work for would sanction drones....but I could use one until I was told not to.

If you don't mind, In would like to know what make and model you settled on. One thing that I haven't found is a drone camera with a zoom lens that isn't out of my price range. The technology improves rapidly. I saw one at Best Buy that has sonar on each corner to avoid obstacles.
 
I have 3 drones for my business. A DJI Mavic Pro, DJI Phantom 4 and a DJI Inspire 2 with the X5S camera system plus an additional 45mm lens. All used for different purposes. I have done insurance roof inspections with the Phantom 4 but the Inspire 2 would work much better. It is just way, way, way too expensive.
 
How has the learning curve been....crashes, etc. I read that DJI offers an extra cost warrenty that covers crashes...even if it is the fault of the operator. It didn't say how much it cost.

By the way, I don't have an Amazon link here at your forum.

I don't know what to tell you or do about the Amazon link. It is on a few pages in 2 places and why you are not seeing it, I have no idea. I wish you were.
 
Hey Jeff, come up here with some of your beautiful models when its 30 below zero! Btw, boiling water tossed into the air at -30 could be a cool (no pun intended) effect in a picture?
