Thanks. A little choppy due to heavy wind.

A great sales aid. Nicely done.

Yes, they aren't masterpieces but it helps sell homes for the realtors. I'm happy to be able to get paid for doing what I love.

Based on the video viewing, I'd be tempted to buy

There's been an explosion in property prices here the last couple of years, but just recently we're seeing a fall-back.

Yes, I know it's coming soon here.

Impressive job of filming that 2 BR home.    I bet the realtors love using videos to assist in marketing.

Thanks. It works for them. We also do 3D tours for them.

You're very welcome.  No doubt very helpful to the realtors and potential buyers.  Still a seller's market in my location.  Prices are still what I call ridiculous but people are paying the prices anyway.

I don't understand how people can afford the new prices and rates.

I guess enough people are "stretching" their budgets to the extreme limit.  I can't believe how many new home permits are being issued to builders on a daily basis. Most new homes are sold before they are built and rarely do you see a new home sit waiting on a buyer for more than a week.  

I think this housing boom will eventually have to slow down but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.  Guess that is why I get calls weekly wanting to buy part of my 125 acres.  I keep telling them no matter how much they offer I'm not going to sell.  I've already had one insane offer that is 10 times what I paid for the land but I'm still not selling.  I want to keep it "green" for as longs as I'm alive.  then its up to my kids to do the same or sell it.

Nice. Hold as long as you can. They're not making any more.

Exactly why I'm hanging on to my land and the fact that wildlife is getting squeezed out by all the residential and commercial development also makes me want to keep it green.

As it develops it will only be worth more.

This is true but no matter how much crazy money they offer I'm not selling.  Maybe my kids will sell and reap the benefits but I'm happy with keeping it green and my finances are in great shape.

Good for you. I remember a gardening nursery here that the father wanted to sell a few acres of land on Staten Island and my broker wouldn't sell it. He said he wouldn't let him sell his legacy. His kids still haven't sold. It's a business and family compound and they love it.

Nice to see that I'm not the only one holding out.  

Nice video.
Have you considered adding a Pocket 3 to the mix?

I have. I bought the action 3 lately and I just picked up a phantom 4 pro for mapping so it's going to have to wait. I want one.

Hahahahahahahaha.
I would assume the Pocket has more value to your line of business.

I think so we struggle with getting smooth video and the new pocket seems to do the trick.

I see them being used by real estate photographers (that do video too here in NL) for the 'tour' video.

Looks like it. They improved the low light capabilities a lot compared to the P2.

I didn't buy the P2 because it didn't handle indoor light well.

That is true. The only downside for me.

Th osmo Action 3 ghosts allot in low light too.

Yeah, seems that bigger sensor does a trick very well.

It's on the wish list. I just picked up this Phantom 4 Pro to do mapping. Lets see If I can get it to pay for the pocket 3.

What kind of mapping jobs are that?

I have been mapping a 36 acre condominium Association to track their paving and milling on a monthly basis.

Hopefully this will make the maps more accurate and cut the time in half.

Sorry, you lost me here.
You are mapping that for them, but what can they do with that?

BetterBizTech Posted at 1-4 05:32

I'm trying to understand what they are doing there and how this map will be helpful for that. But there is a language barrier I think

Construction companies send reporting to their clients on the progress. Sometimes land ownersuse the maps to measure materials, piles and progress to seethatthe actual materials, equipment and manpower that they are being charged for  is being used. They can see how much of the roads have been paved every month along with the current condition of the roads. Those maps are a composite of about 100 pictures. The colored map are for elevation which wasn't necessary for road work, but I throw it in. the Phantom 4 Pro and the mavic 3 E offer mechanical shutters which help prevent motion blur at High speeds which is great for creating maps quickly.

Never heard of that here.
I don't think new areas take that long to get paved.
Once they start, they usually finish quite quickly.
But then again, I have no inside information about this.
I like the 3d mappings btw.

This is a one year job on a monthly basis.
