Ok, so I don't have any idea what the laws are like in the US, as I am based in Norway. Anyway, I have been photographing some real estate previously, and see my P2V+ as a addition to my "camera kit", which I with time and training will be using to photograph real estate commercially.
Being able to shoot from the air is a great addition to any real estate photographers kit, as most photographers usually use long poles with a MFT camera (or equivalent) on top. Having shots like this can really put you ahead of other photographers as well, and many steps ahead of a happy hobbyist photographer. The more you can deliver, the more you can charge. I never had any pole or aerial camera, so I am really eager to use this new tool and see the world of new perspectives it opens.
Today I actually did my first "trial shoot" of my parents house, just to try it out and see how I'm doing.
Here is the RAW photo (taken in Adobes .DNG raw format) from the DJI P2V+:

And here is the edited photo, which I would consider as "done" and ready to deliver to a potential customer:

As you can see, there has been done quite a bit with the image afterwards. I first took it through Lightroom, which is by far the best organizing and light editing tool available, and then I took it through Photoshop. I use Lightrooom to keep track of my entire video and photo-library.
What have been done:
- Defishing
- Sharpening and lightning adjustments
- White balance and color correction
- Straightening and correcting lines
- Swapped the sky
- Retouched away things I didn't want to have in the shot (myself included)- Cropping
All in all, the retouching and editing on this photo was approx. 45 mins to an hour.
IF this was a actual shoot for a customer, I would have walked around the property at least a couple of times to hide away stuff rather than having to remove it in post. If I had done that on this image, I'm pretty sure I'd be down to 10-15 minutes of post work. Another nifty thing Lightroom does is to automatically defish and adjust exposure of the photos to a preset I've created for all photos from the DJI.
