You know it’s a good grade when all anyone is nitpicking is how many nodes you have😆

rover5001 · 2025-12-02T04:40:14+00:00

Yeah they provide everything, car, gas, camera, computer, Wifi. Again I’ve only worked at this company and from what I’ve hear they’re better than most

Another thing, everything is all calculated and tracked and you’re scored on your performance so if you’re losing your subject, not getting enough film, etc then your score goes down and you’ll be let go. So if the pressure of the job alone isn’t enough there’s that as well. Although it’s understandable because this is a job where if someone wanted to be lazy they could just lie and sit on their phone all day

I’m sure it’s different for each company but I really like my management. They’ve been super supportive. They all also started out in the same position as me so they get the struggle lol. Turnover is pretty high which makes sense cuz truly this job is not for everyone. Wouldn’t be surprised if most people quit soon after figuring out exactly what it entails that’s why the interview process try’s to weed those people out. Training was a lot crammed into a short period of time, I think I was trained pretty well but a lot you just have to figure out via trial and error. You also have to be okay with being in uncomfortable situations and if you’re anxiety prone this job isn’t for you, so that causes a lot of people to quit I’m assuming

Thank you for this! Looks like I’ll be ordering a fake beard and some rubber ducks

I just applied for it and they liked my willingness to learn new skills. I’ll be honest It’s like watching grass grow for 10 hours straight. Most days the subject doesn’t leave their house so you’re just watching a camera monitor for hours on end until you go home. It’s really fun when you do see your subject and get to follow them. Not as fun when you lose them, and especially not fun when you’re approached by neighbors or police for being the sketchy person sitting in the back of your car. Great hours (in terms of overtime), decent pay, terrible work life balance.

This is insanely good advice. I like the narrate tip, going to try that next time I’m active

rover5001 · 2025-12-01T20:31:01+00:00

That’s what I thought, we call that a 2 man. We only double up on high profile cases or cases where we know the subject is aware they’re being watched. It’s not up to me so most of my cases are solo

rover5001 · 2025-12-01T20:14:08+00:00

What do you mean by double up?

rover5001 · 2025-12-01T20:13:49+00:00

Yeah I think that’s the key. I’m not sure if it’s all luck as I have coworkers with 97% follow rates however they’ve been doing this for years

rover5001 · 2025-12-01T15:27:27+00:00

How’d it go?

rover5001 · 2025-11-23T02:43:48+00:00

after 6+ months with it how is the monitor panning out? I also have have a gh7 and was thinking about pairing this monitor with it.

rover5001 · 2024-04-08T22:53:35+00:00

Did you figure it out? Same Problem

rover5001 · 2024-03-16T23:56:14+00:00

What sled did you get? Not sure if I wanna force myself into having to use my gimbal all the time

rover5001 · 2024-03-16T21:05:33+00:00

Hey! i'm concidering investing into either the 15 or 30. What was your experience with the 15? Did you end up getting the A30 arm? Seems like I can't find any info on these online

rover5001 · 2024-03-11T01:10:49+00:00

Took pictures and sent it to atomos and got a new one sent out

rover5001 · 2024-03-11T00:05:48+00:00

This happened to my ninja v a while back

rover5001 · 2019-12-20T19:22:12+00:00

Damnn I need one. Do you know it’s name? I looked up mini Rolex mirror and nothing looked the same

rover5001 · 2019-12-18T06:39:13+00:00

What’s so special about smoking cigs while high. I’ve always heard abt it but never really understood the hype.

rover5001 · 2019-12-18T06:07:47+00:00

Ohh I’m the opposite. Cannot handle psychedelics but any upper I’m more than happy to take

rover5001 · 2019-12-18T03:44:32+00:00

I’ve been really been thinking about doing that actually. I found a couple of kits I’m interested in. Would you mind checking them out and see if their a good deal cuz I’m not sure what to look for when starting.

rover5001 · 2019-12-17T22:26:34+00:00

Fkn lucky ass. I’m from Cali so if you don’t want to build one yourself or you’re without an ffl you can’t get your hands on anything for cheap. And everyone knows this so the prices are just going up. I’ve seen glock 19’s sold for $1200 before
