    A very well written and accurate portrayal of UAV use in the real estate industry. I enjoyed clicking through your vids as well :)

    I started to read the article then the site's advertising clogged up my browser and I couldn't continue - I hate sites like that. Wow good advertising outcome crash the audiences' browser.

    Did the article address the true costs required of the photographer to do drone photography for commercial purposes? Do you have to be a licensed pilot? How much extra is required for liability insurance relating to a business operating a drone? What is the drone operator's CODB? What are realtors willing to pay?

    Sometimes I think realtors push this because they don't want to hire photographers who will take the time to find good angles and shoot the properties under the right lighting, can't do that if you're trying to hit 20 houses in a day. Seriously here in the DMV I would say 10% of properties look good from a drone's perspective the other 90% show that we all are living in a cramped fishbowl with endless rows of rooftops.

    And those 10% might make it to a portfolio article advertising realtor's services but I'll bet the actual buyers who can afford those style of homes are not persuaded by drone footage.
