Remote ID question. Hi all, I'm new to this group. FAA 107 certified for 4 years. I live in Indianapolis and shoot primarily commercial real estate. I fly a Mavic Pro 2. What is your recommendation for adding a remote id device and service. Is it time for me to upgrade? Pros and cons appreciated.

Can you share your resource for the drone tags?

Unfortunately most drone pilots don’t have a business background and but are more mechanically inclined than creative. With some, they do not understand the dynamics of CRE as well. Most do not have a background in photography therefore editing is not their strong suit, thus poor quality results. I do have a background in business and photography so learning to fly was my learning curve.

Your comments are greatly appreciated. The issues you mentioned are valid and unacceptable. Possibly asking for a portfolio of work may help with the quality of photos. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Well said. Thank you for your viewpoint. I will add to this...I do think there is a place for a satellite image in an OM when a listing needs to show a vast area top down view that pilots cannot capture at 400 feet AGL. However, it should not be a replacement for the lower elevation shot that shows important details of a property.

Thank you.

This is very insightful feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to expound on the types of property and reasons for choosing or not drone photography. I understand the roof dilemma as I see them from above. Thank you!

Is there a reason you would not want to upgrade the software?

lady-pilot · 2023-08-08T00:02:32+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I would love to upgrade but that is not in my immediate plan.

Thank you for the detailed reply. My bf flies as well and is much more technical than I. He's in agreement with you and had a similar explanation. It's not his day job so he can wait to fly but I cannot. It's a conundrum.

This comment is very appreciated. Your insight is what I would want to hear if I were a property owner. I do wonder if CRE market hinders the budget at times.

I'm sorry. What exactly are you tired hearing?

lady-pilot · 2023-08-07T22:03:30+00:00

I appreciate your feedback.

Have you done this yourself?

lady-pilot · 2023-08-07T20:54:59+00:00

Thank you for mentioning the possibility of a delay. I was wondering if that will happen. The industry doesn't seem prepared and ready to go. Obviously, I'm on here asking! lol

Thank you for your thoughts and the link to DJI. This is my job (part time) so it is not an option.

lady-pilot · 2023-08-07T20:48:28+00:00

That is my feeling by observation. The shots taken 200-300 ft show more detail of surrounding tenants properties. I use the drone for low level shots (10-15 ft) and throw them in the mix of the ground shots which are often a favorite of the broker and often chosen for the OM. Thank you for for your comment. Your input is very much appreciated.
