That's great.  No doubt word of mouth and referrals following successful jobs will get around and help increase jobs also.

Thanks I have been happy with the growth.

As with any business you just need to sustain the amount of jobs and continue to grow.  

Nice warm day here today and hoping the winds die down a bit so I can get my Skydio 2+ up for a flight or two.  My grandson is going to run his gokart in prep of an upcoming race and I want to try and film his warm-ups.  He has a beast of a gokart and only my Skydio 2+ can keep up with it.

That looks like fun.

Fun afternoon except for one thing.  Rookie mistake - I forgot to put an SD card in the Skydio 2+ and it has no internal storage.  I felt like such an idiot.  Oh well, just another lesson learned, unfortunately this is one I've had to relearn twice now.

It could double as a sports field, but for the corrugations

Very cool shot!

I hadn't flown the Skydio 2+ in a while so I should have checked on whether the SD Card was in or not.  Normally, I carry a spare one but this time I didn't.

I have to keep one new one in every drone case because I always leave a card in my PC

Definitely a great idea.  I have plenty of good cards laying around so I think I'll start doing that also.

I just finished reformatting all my newest high speed SD Cards.  So now I have one in every drone and a spare in each drone case.

That's what I do. I also have two plastic cases that hold 10+ SD cards and I keep on in my Air 2 S Case and My 2 Pro Case becaase there is room and they are heavily used. Usually one of them is with me just in case.

I also added one of these which makes my flying idiot proof. With Extra SD cards and a charge an 80,000 ma battery at the ready there is nothing to stop me from flying.

No doubt for commercial use you'd want to have plenty of SD Cards on hand, especially if you are shooting a lot in 4K.  I tried out 5K on my Air 3 and that created some huge files.

Wow, that's an impressive set up.  Only thing that could stop you now is bad weather.

I always shoot in 4k 30fps.This way I can use the video for cropped in photos if needed.

And it is. Waiting for decent weather friday. I am in 3 straight days of rain and wind right now.

I normal use 4K 30fps but I just wanted to check out 5K.  Not sure why as my TV is 4K and my laptop monitor is 4K.  I looked at an 8K TV but it's just too dang expensive and there just aren't enough 8K movies out to justify that purchase.

Yes, I saw that huge weather front that was plowing its way across most of the US.  It has rained here all day so you are definitely not alone with the rain coming down.

No problem as it gave me a chance to do some indoor work I  had been putting off.

I'm guess you felt the earthquake this morning since Lebanon, NJ is not too far from your location.  Hopefully nobody had any major damages.  Earthquakes remind me of my tours in California.  They have them so often you tend think of it as a normal event.

I was out in Newark NJ flying at the time but felt nothing. According to some, there was a 45 second rumble. that was pretty intense but I haven't heard of any damage yet.

It does seem weird that some people felt it and others in the same area didn't.  I'm just glad there was no loss of life and no  major damage was caused.

Same here. t seems like people in buildings feel the shake. I have experience three notable earthqukes and only felt one.

Everyone there acts like nothing is happening.

Exactly.  I guess that is because it happens so regularly that they are used to it.

I never got used to it while I was stationed in California.  I remember sitting at the table going over some case work when the table started shaking and I was like here we go.
