PS, this video was put on the frontpage  
Which is quite good for the views as I saw.

Congrats.  That should drive up the views.  

Montfrooij Posted at 7-5 13:13
Quite interesting to see what this featured post does.
So far 100 views extra from the moment it was featured.

That can't be a bad thing

I'm excited about it rumored to have a dual camera but not sure that is enough to make me move up to it.  I'll just have to see what other upgrades they come up with for the Air 3.

It is very interesting.
As long as it has a CE x marking.

DowntownRDB Posted at 7-5 13:21
No doubt it is whenever one of the Admins can get around to it.  I'm sure they have a myriad of other things to do also, so the point conversions may well be low priority.

I think so too, but asking never hurts.

DowntownRDB Posted at 7-5 13:23
Congrats.  That should drive up the views.

It for sure does.
Very nice!

Yeah, it's a great little drone.

No doubt the CE marking is important for European countries.  

Montfrooij Posted at 7-5 23:56

I'm going to give it a few more days and then send a PM to one of the mods.  I guess I should be more patient as I'm not in a hurry to use any points at this time.  

Montfrooij Posted at 7-5 23:56

Very nice!

I always say take any help that is provided.

Yeah, otherwise it is useless the moment it comes out.

Same here.
For now I'm enjoying the fact that I got pushed to the frontpage.

DowntownRDB Posted at 7-6 03:19

This was very welcome.
And now I wonder if it will help for other videos too!

Very nice, congratulations!

You'd think with the animosities between the governments of China and the US DJI would be more inclined to target their drones toward the EU.  However, as the US is still their biggest market for both recreational and commercial flyers it seems they just persevere on with business as usual.

Happy Friday.  Hopefully, your work week will end on a positive note.  I'm planning a short trip to Western Florida to dive in a spring fed lake.  I'm told the water is crystal clear and 40 meters in depth in most parts.  Should make for a fun dive.

Montfrooij Posted at 7-6 03:27

I'm betting it will also help for other videos.  I was talking to a wildlife photographer and he says he no longer puts videos on YT as his is such a niche market.  He says he gets much better results on IG.

I do IG too, but not too much.
And I don't earn anything on IG, whereas I do on YT.
(not much, but every penny counts)

I just made an appointment for tomorrow morning to try and see if I can buy some 100yr old bricks for the reno.
3h drive in total....
But I don't mind.

Yeah, that part I don't get.

I think both platforms offer a diversity of material.  Many do prefer one over the other.  At least you get some monetary benefit out of YT now and that is always a good thing.

Hopefully you will found some great bricks and get a good deal on them.  That will definitely help with the reno budget.

Montfrooij Posted at 7-7 06:44
Yeah, that part I don't get.

Does seem like they don't perceive any chance of a total DJI drone ban in the US.  I hope it doesn't come to that but at the present time it doesn't look good.

Yeah, small bonus.
Very nice.

Actually they are more expensive. But they will look much better on the house, since the new bricks are thinner and that shows on the corners where the old and new will be combined.
So if I can avoid that, it is worth a bit of money.
Just like € 80,- more or so, so nothing spectacular.

Not much you can do about that I think .

At least something is better than nothing.  Who knows, as your channel grows so will your monetization.

Interesting to know that the older bricks are more expensive than the newer ones.  To get good aesthetics probably well worth the additional cost of using the older ones.

Montfrooij Posted at 7-7 11:22

Yeah, it's all up to Congress as that ruling will come from them.

I'm glad that I don't depend on it.

Yeah, 100yr old bricks were super cheap back then.
Now they cost a small fortune.
But it's only a small portion of the budget. Very small. So I don't mind.

DowntownRDB Posted at 7-8 05:01

Speaking of the government.
Our parliament just fell the other day....
I was not a fan of the current parties, but then again, at least they seemed to have some common sense, so I am not looking forward to new elections.

Montfrooij Posted at 7-8 11:55

True.  Some the super influencers are making quite the haul off their YT monetizations.

No doubt the cost back then vs now.  Good news is they are available and only use a small part of your reno budget.

The worst thing about our system is that it breed's career politicians.  Over the years they lose touch with the people they represent and often pass laws contrary to the good of those same people.  I wish they had term limits like they do for the President.

They get rich big time for sure.

I picked up 180 today.
A bit more, to have some spare.

Yeah, that is not how they invented the system for sure.
