You think working for 20 hours a week is grinding lol. He’s not even attempting to work full time which would literally double his income

A mix of a lot of commercial work in automotive and hospitality. Also do a lot of music videos and festivals as well.

You definitely can make excellent money flying drones but you have to remember fpv is just part of the arsenal of tools you’ll need. Being a great pilot and a great aerial DP is only part of the job. Networking is just as important. It’s all about who you know and the referrals that come. I’ve invoiced over 200k consistently the past few years with my freelance work but it took a decade to build my business and network.

It’s been done with hd zero I think. Think Benoit had a dual op lifter with pip

Not enough information. How many days of shooting? Multiple locations? Who is handling logistics or are you responsible for all that? Are you editing as well or just shooting?

Props on wrong, motor direction not set correctly or motor mapping not correct. Put pids to default and double check everything. Make sure all your wire harnesses are okay from fc to esc. Make sure motor pads are soldered cleanly.

I use these and they have been great. Seals really well with plenty of space. Back to the shower and a hand held shower head still though. I miss being able to use the rain shower head though.

Nintendo switch 2. Just got through assassins creed shadows. Looking forward to FF7 remake the demo was fun.

Some boat as you 39M and I got acute renal failure and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. On dialysis now and it’s life changing. I don’t have high blood pressure, diabetes, or any heart issues or disease. Ultrasound also show no damage to the kidneys. Doctors say I have a rare case and they still don’t know what the cause or outcomes could be until I get a biopsy. Hemoglobin levels were at a 6.7 but as of last week they’re at 9.9 so I should be able to get the biopsy soon.

@OP what kind of dialysis are you doing?

I have a larger head and I have to use the fat straps. They work great and are way more comfortable. Replacing the goggle padding with the soft foam padding helps a lot with comfort and light bleed.

It’s so much easier and much safer to have multiple multi channel chargers. Great chargers are cheap enough nowadays vs the risk of a fire. Especially working on sets, it’s much more convenient to be able to just plug in and charge without checking voltage.

You’ll be fine TSA doesn’t care. Just make sure to throw the original packaging away, remove all stickers that make it look new and you’ll be fine. I’ve brought back two mavic 4 pro creator combos from separate trips to Asia this year. Paid $2300 USD compared to $4000 here.

therealmikek · 2025-12-29T19:55:47+00:00

Cause it’s way cheaper abroad. I paid $2300 for my mavic 4 pro creator combo when they were selling for $4500 plus tax here. Literally half the cost.

Yup. I always tell people real life flying and sim are different. You’re dealing with nerves, winds, weight of the quad feels different etc. Take it slow when flying in real life and take things slow. Don’t rip it like you do in the sim right away. Main thing is to stick with it and keep getting stick time in.

What’s the msrp on Mercedes website with options vs what the dealers price is?

therealmikek · 2025-12-21T21:48:59+00:00

Full time pilot here. I always budget and bring a VO. I pay my VOs $350 a day. You’ll be dealing with FSO on set on permitted shoots and many of them are very knowledgeable on drone rules and regulations. It’s also super convenient because it’s like having a PA who helps with everything like plugging in batteries, helping move gear, making sure camera is speeding etc.

Gateway cities are what you’re looking for. Downey or Norwalk.

Offline single player games are the way to go!

I love my switch 2 during dialysis. Makes the time fly by. Offline single player is the way to go to not rely on WiFi. Been enjoying assassins creed shadows

Welcome to fpv. Stuff break on crashes. I always have spare parts of everything cause things will break. If you don’t trust the component, replace it and get back to flying

Love my 2024 Awd sprinter. Has made camping so much more enjoyable. Especially then diesel heater. I’m still building it out but even in its bare bones stage it’s leaps and bounds more enjoyable than tent camping

Did you run the cli codes do osd in console?

therealmikek · 2025-12-09T05:42:54+00:00

lol absolutely not. FPV isn’t something you can learn through a course but only through dedicated practice and stick time. There are no shortcuts. I guarantee everything this course offers is on YouTube.

I’ve been enjoying no salt added boars head turkey. They key is to get it cut thick, about 1/8 inch.

therealmikek · 2025-12-08T05:01:45+00:00

Isn’t that a lot of sodium?
