In this episode of "Your Drone Questions Answered" (YDQA), John Dickow engages in a detailed conversation with Jerry Wodka, an experienced law enforcement professional with over 23 years of service. Jerry has also been a drone pilot for more than four years. They explore the multifaceted role of drones in law enforcement and the specific regulations governing their use in the state of Illinois.Jerry Wodka introduces himself and discusses his background in law enforcement, shedding light on his journey from being a police officer to a certified drone pilot. With over two decades of experience in law enforcement, Jerry provides valuable insights into the integration of drones into police operations.The conversation delves into various scenarios where drones prove to be indispensable tools for law enforcement agencies. Jerry highlights the primary use cases, including:Missing Persons Cases: Drones are instrumental in locating missing individuals, whether it's a child who has wandered off or an elderly person in a remote area. The drones equipped with thermal imaging technology are particularly effective in nighttime searches.Search Warrant Execution: When law enforcement obtains a search or arrest warrant, drones can provide critical overwatch during the operation. If a suspect attempts to flee, drones can track and assist in their apprehension.Jerry also emphasizes the importance of adhering to specific limitations and regulations outlined in Illinois law, such as restrictions on random surveillance, personal use, and the prohibition of weaponizing drones. He clarifies that law enforcement drones are equipped with commercially available technology and not specialized military equipment.Furthermore, the discussion covers the drone equipment used by law enforcement, focusing on the DJI Matrice 300, a flagship drone model, and its versatile dual gimbal setup, including the H20T Zenmuse camera and a spotlight accessory. Jerry explains how the spotlight aids in various scenarios, such as illuminating areas of interest during nighttime operations.Transparency and compliance with Part 107 rules are crucial aspects of law enforcement drone operations. Jerry highlights the importance of notifying the local state's attorney's office within 24 hours of a flight, providing transparency to the public and government officials.Jerry shares his journey of getting introduced to drones, starting with a Christmas gift, and how he overcame weather challenges and training commitments to become a skilled drone pilot. He emphasizes the value of practical experience in flying drones and recommends that aspiring pilots get hands-on practice to become proficient.In terms of gaining departmental support for drone initiatives, Jerry mentions that his team at the police department was proactive in launching the program. They gradually expanded their fleet from the DJI Inspire to the Matrice, considering the cost and the need for familiarity among officers. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of Part 107 certification.Jerry concludes the discussion by offering advice to those interested in law enforcement and drones, highlighting the need for a strong foundation in law enforcement before venturing into specialized roles like drone piloting. He encourages individuals to stay informed about Part 107 rules and seek opportunities for further training and education.As this conversation only scratches the surface of the extensive topic of drones in law enforcement, John expresses the intention to bring Jerry back for future discussions to explore more in-depth aspects of drone use within the field.If you have questions or seek more information about drones in law enforcement, you can submit your queries at ydqa.io or within the Drone Launch Connect community. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes that provide valuable insights into the world of drones. See you in the sky!

DJI Inspire 1, Inspire 1 vs. Inspire 2, DJI News, DJI rumors, DJI Inspire 1 Batteries Today's show is about the DJI Inspire 1. Topics discussed today include the DJI Inspire 1, Inspire 1 vs. Inspire, and the DJI Inspire 3. Our caller for today, Marshall went ahead and purchased the DJI Inspire 1 for his drone business. And, now he needs help finding a reliable, affordable vendor who can sell drone batteries for this outdated DJI drone. Sure, we help Marshall out by sharing some great vendor recommendations. But we do much more than that. On today's show, we explain the pros and cons of the DJI Inspire 1. Even though this is a much older drone, Paul shares why it flies far more aggressively than its successor, the DJI Inspire 2. And why he still considers this old DJI drone to be the "Ferrari of DJI drones". But does it mean that the DJI Inspire 1 is still a good buy? Can you build a sustainable business with the DJI Inspire 1? We also share the latest industry rumors about the DJI Inspire 3. We speculate about the specs and share whether we can expect DJI to launch this new drone in 2021. Towards the end, we have an interesting discussion on consumer vs. enterprise drones. And share why enterprise drones are waning in popularity. Thanks for the great question, Marshall. Fly Safe!

Can you get rid of jello effect when you are flying a drone like the Phantom 4 Pro? Do you need to switch to a larger drone? Our caller for today, Bob is facing some issues with his Phantom 4 Pro. Specifically, Bob is experiencing jello effect when he is flying his Phantom in high winds. Bob has already tried balancing his props but without any success. So, is it possible to capture smooth footage with the Phantom 4 Pro in such situations? Or, should Bob shift to a larger and more stable drone like the Inspire 2? Great question, Bob. This is an issue that amateur pilots often grapple with. Drone pilots need to take into account varying wind speeds with an increase in elevation. However, can advanced flying skills make up for your lack of a larger drone? Is it advisable to change your flight settings when you are out flying in high winds? If you are regularly flying in areas with windy conditions, this show will surely interest you. Thanks for the great question, Bob. Fly Safe!

Autel Evo 2 Launched at CES 2020, Drone Pilot Fined $20,000 for Careless Flight, DJI Black Friday Deals, SQUIDS Drone, Drone Industry to Hit $100 Billion in 2020 UPDATE - Autel Robotics has released the Autel Evo 2 at CES 2020. Be sure to check out our Comprehensive Autel Evo 2 Review. Our biggest story today is about the Autel Evo 2. You heard that right. As per recent FCC filings, Autel Robotics is coming out with a new drone that will hit the markets as early as January 2020. Rumored Specs of the new Autel Evo Drone - This drone will come with 3 user-changeable gimbal modules that will give users 6K, 8K, and dual sensor capabilities. 586 gimbal – 8K camera 383 gimbal – 6K camera with one inch 20 MP sensor Dual-sensor gimbal – Infrared camera with 8K video camera According to industry insiders, the 586 gimbal on the Autel Evo 2 will be capable of taking still photos at 48 MP and recording 8K video at 25 fps. Additionally, users will be able to shoot 6K video at 30 fps or 4K at 30 or 60 fps. You will be able to shoot those sweet slo-mo videos with the 383 gimbal as you can record 4K video at 120 fps. A wide aperture range (up to f/2.8) means that this camera should have excellent low light capabilities. The dual sensor is particularly impressive as it takes infrared images at 640 x 512 or 320 x 256 and records 720p video. Other Specs and Capabiltiies: Top Speed of 44 mph Geo-fencing free 360 degree obstacle avoidance NIGHTBEAT mode for night-time photography With such awesome capabilities, the Autel Evo 2 will far outshine not only the entire Mavic range but also the higher-end, DJI Inspire range. After the Skydio 2, the Autel Evo 2 is another reminder that these new entrants in the drone market are not only catching up, but in fact, leaving the industry leader, DJI far behind. Let’s see if DJI is able to muster up a fitting response when it launches the DJI Mavic 3 in January 2020. Our next story is a particularly interesting one. This is a story about drone pilot, Reuben Burciaga who was fined a hefty $20,000 for a reckless flight which ultimately ended as his drone landed next active airstrip at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. Reuben's initial fine of $14,000 has now ballooned to more than $20,000 due to late fees as he failed to respond back to the FAA. Time and again, we have discussed how FAA's lack of enforcement is endangering airspace safety. So, was the FAA right in slapping this huge $20,000 fine on Reuben? Hear this story, and let us know your thoughts. Other topics discussed on the show are the SQUID drone and hyper-growth projections for the drone industry. Tune in for some excellent insights!

DJI Inspire 3 Launch in 2020, DJI's new Drone to Phone Remote ID Technology, DJI Mavic Mini and how it affects airspace safety, Flying BVLOS in NY State, Drone Deliveries and much, much more... Our biggest drone news story this week is about DJI's new Drone to Phone Remote ID technology. To assuage escalating concerns over drone security, industry leader, DJI recently introduced this new technology which makes it possible to detect drones within a 1-km range using an app. While this technology may help locate rogue drones and ensure airspace safety, does it raise any privacy issues for drone pilots? And, how will the FAA enforce compliance once this app is formally launched next year? Next up, listeners will enjoy an animated discussion about the DJI Mavic Mini. Unless you have been living under a rock, you must have heard of this sub-250 gram drone whose biggest selling point is that there are no registration requirements. Does this ability to fly without registration endanger airspace safety? In our next segment, we have some great news that will particularly interest NY drone pilots. A testing corridor for BVLOS flights recently opened up in New York State. In a recent blog post, we discussed how the ability to fly BVLOS will provide a much-needed fillip to services like drone deliveries, and the economy as a whole.

Drone Parachutes A bad Idea?

Hi everyone, Welcome to the channel - in this video, we take a look at whether adding a parachute to your drone actually makes it safer... More manufacturers are starting to make small and (relatively affordable) parachutes for drones like the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Phantom 4 series and the DJI Inspire 2 - but, does adding a parachute to your aircraft make it safer, or does it actually increase the chances of something going wrong with it - which may lead to needing to use the parachute in the first place?! Many of the drones we see now, have the manufacturer recommended maximum take-off mass, set to the actual weight of the aircraft, so surely; putting a parachute system onto these platforms makes the SUAS operate at a weight above the maximum recommended by the designer... Lots of people see or think that adding a parachute to your drone will also allow you to get the much-coveted 'operating safety case' (OSC) from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) but... This isn't necessarily the case - in our extensive experience, the CAA don't look at the fact that a parachute has been added to a drone and give an immediate 'YES, you're good to go on an OSC'... They'll weigh up the entire Safety Management System (SMS), of which the parachute forms a (admittedly significant) part; but it's not the magic bullet that some people seem to think. What do you think? Does adding a parachute and operating above the manufacturers recommended weight limits justify the risk? Please feel free to rate the video and leave any comments or questions below...

Drone Comparison - I Need to Buy a Backup Drone. Should I Buy the Inspire 2, or Settle for the More Affordable Phantom 4 Pro? In today's show, we have a fascinating drone comparison. We compare the Inspire 2 to the Phantom 4 Pro and reveal the best option for you. Our caller, Kyle from Idaho, recently attended our in-person mapping class in San Diego. This proved to be a game-changing experience for Kyle as he was able to add new clients and scale up his drone business significantly. Now, Kyle is planning on buying a spare drone so that his work is not affected in case of any equipment failure. Should Kyle buy another Phantom 4 Pro? Or, is it worth spending more to buy the DJI Inspire 2? The Inspire 2 is a larger bird with greater wind resistance. The ability to carry larger payloads means that this drone can fly the cameras like the X4S with ease. Because of these reasons, there are many additional drone jobs that a pilot can take up with the Inspire 2. In this show, we specifically discuss flying over water and filming action sports. But, can Kyle use the Inspire 2 instead of the Phantom 4 Pro for drone mapping? Is Kyle better off buying the Phantom 4 Pro or Phantom 4 Advanced? Tune to this drone comparison to learn some nuanced information. Thanks for the great question, Kyle. Fly Safe! Recently crashed your drone?

Our caller for today, Jeremy has a great question about subject tracking with your drone. To master this advanced skill, Jeremy is unsure how he can maintain a deadlock over his subject without losing control over the drone's orientation. And, can Jeremy capture the required footage without compromising on safety? Subject tracking is a drone application that requires considerable practice and expertise. A drone pilot needs to fly fast (at the speed of the boat or car) and up-close to grab smooth footage. This becomes difficult and dangerous as you have to look at your screen AND monitor your drone.

Sparky Sorenson is a drone pilot form Dallas Texas, currently fling the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Inspire 2 models. Sparky has been flying since 2014, when he was in a band and taking a lot of cross state roadies. During these trips he started to explore video editing, and eventually added on a drone! His first drone, like mine, was the Phantom 2. Flying mostly cinematography, and mapping missions, his choice in the P4P and I2 is obvious. The quality and calibre of footage you can get from the I2 is exactly what his film and television production clients want. The P4p and it's global shutter is also perfect for his mapping missions. Speaking of mapping, Sparky is utilizing the Propeller Aeropoints for many of his jobs. If you've taken my Drone Mapping 101 course, you'll recall that I also use Aeropoints during the training to show you how easy it is to mark your ground control or manual tie points in post processing. If you haven't checked out the course yet, be sure to head on over for all the details! I won't get into too many details in this blog post, so be sure to listen in to hear how Sparky flew at an airport. Yeah, I know many of us have flown in controlled airspace, but Sparky flew right in the middle of an active airport. Very, very cool stuff! I hope you enjoyed this week's drone podcast with Sparky Sorenson! Once you've had a listen, feel free to leave a comment so that Sparky and I can hear what you think!

Confuscius once said, "Find a job that makes you happy and you'll never work a day of your life again" and Aviv is one of those people. Aviv is a video storyteller and he has acquired recognition from the movies he has produced with his drones. In this episode we discuss what career choices have lead Aviv to video storytelling, what it takes to run your own company and of course, surfing! If there is anything to take from the episode, it's the fact that you have to keep on learning, trying, and sometimes fail to find your passion. All experience (good or bad) is worth it. Shownotes: Aviv Ben Or is the CEO of Hexa Air Cinema. The company he created leverages his expertise in drone filmmaking, editing and storytelling.  A few months ago he gained attention thanks to this brilliant surf movie he produced Aviv is from Israel, so he shares his story of growing up as a surfer in the Mediterranean. Aviv shares his experience in being his own boss, travelling the world and how all his experiences have brought him to his career today. Aviv gives his expert advice on the kind of gear you can start with, to produce your first drone movie and he gives us insight on the editing process. The drones mentioned in this episode are DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Inspire 2 that Aviv is using professionally. He mentions 2 other drone models that beginners can start with for great value : DJI Spark and DJI Mavic To get in touch with Aviv, you can contact him via instagram and you can also check out his work on www.hexa.site, on youtube and on Vimeo. Aviv has generously created a board on Unsplash.com (if you don't know Unsplash, you must have a look : there are tons of royalty free photos to pick from), so if you fancy downloading a beautiful photo for your social media feeds or computer wallpaper, then take a look at his profile on Unsplash.

The FAA tests a drone detection system at JFK and releases registration data, drone-on-drone refueling demonstrated, a drone that can perch on walls, a new UAS risk management course, and a review of a guide to drones. Rotorcraft perching, recovery, and takeoff News FAA Tests FBI Drone Detection System at JFK The FAA conducted tests of the effectiveness of an FBI UAS detection system at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York. Five different rotorcraft and fixed wing UAS participated in about 40 separate tests. Also involved in the tests were the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice, Queens District Attorney's Office, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Griffiss International Airport test site in Rome, NY, provided expertise in planning the individual tests as well as the flight commander for the tests and two of the UAS used. FAA Releases Drone Registration Location Data In response to a number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, the FAA released a spreadsheet showing the number of UAS registrations by country, state/province/region, city, and postal code. Almost 40,000 entries for “Hobbyist” registrations, and nearly 5,000 “Non-Hobbyist” registrations. Names and addresses of registrants are not part of this database, and will only be made available by registration number. Heatmap of hobbyist UAS registrations Heatmap of non-hobbyist UAS registrations We'd like to thank Airmap.com for providing the heat maps. Find the AirMap for Drones app in the iTunes store and use it to access low-altitude airspace advisories, create flights, file digital notices, manage aircraft, and more. Now drones can go on and on: Unmanned aircraft refuel autonomously in MID-AIR, meaning they can carry out longer missions Chinese researchers have developed a method of autonomous aerial refueling where the “tanker” uses cameras to determine the position of the “receiver.” The tanker then flies to the receiving drone and refuels it through a boom. Microspines Make It Easy for Drones to Perch on Walls and Ceilings Quadrotors have limited flight duration, so the ability to “perch” or land for extended periods of time would be beneficial, particularly for applications where the operator wants to collect data over time. Stanford's Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Laboratory has been working on perching technology that would allow a small drone to land on a wall using an opposing gripping system.

Zipline International medical package delivery drone News FAA Administrator Makes Major Drone Announcements FAA Administrator Michael Huerta made two significant announcements at the AUVSI annual conference in New Orleans. Another advisory committee is being formed to provide advice on unmanned aircraft integration issues. Huerta said, "Input from stakeholders is critical to our ability to achieve that perfect balance between integration and safety. We know that our policies and overall regulation of this segment of aviation will be more successful if we have the backing of a strong, diverse coalition." Huerta also announced that students can operate UAS for educational and research purposes without going through the Section 333 process. This allows educational institutions to conduct activities that have been restricted in the past.

  The FAA tells law enforcement what their role is in policing UAS usage, CNN signs an agreement with the FAA to share drone journalism research results, and drones are big at the Consumer Electronics Show. News FAA Issues UAS Guidance for Law Enforcement This isn't guidance on how law enforcement can use UAS. It's guidance on how law enforcement plays a vital role in “deterring, detecting and investigating unsafe operations.” Specifically, FAA looks to law enforcement for: Witness Identification and Interviews Identification of Operators Viewing and Recording the Location of the Event Identifying Sensitive Locations, Events, or Activities Notifying FAA of incident, accident or other suspected violation Evidence Collection The guidance document Law Enforcement Guidance for Suspected Unauthorized UAS Operations is available as a PDF. CNN strikes drone deal with FAA In June 2014, CNN and the Georgia Institute of Technology announced they would jointly study how to operate UAVs safely and effectively. At that time, they said they wanted to share the data from the study with the FAA. CNN has now signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the FAA that allows it to share the research data with the FAA. CNN Senior Vice President David Vigilante said, "Our aim is to get beyond hobby-grade equipment and to establish what options are available and workable to produce high quality video journalism using various types of UAVs and camera setups.” International Consumer Electronics Show Coverage The giant, annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) gives the industry a chance to display products that are available to buy now, and concepts that you may or may not be able to buy later. As you'd expect, there were a lot of drones at CES: Drones fly high at CES The AirDog auto-follow drone is available for pre-order ($1,295) and is envisioned for recording extreme sports. The GoPro-ready RTF Ghost Drone ($600) can be operated by a Smartphone app. CES 2015: Unleash the Drones! In a CES first, there was an Unmanned Systems Marketplace on the show floor with over a dozen companies exhibiting. The FAA was close by promoting “Know before You Fly” and handing out fliers. The Trace FLYR1 (available for pre-order) is called, “A visually intelligent smart camera that can click in and out of a multitude of self controlled motorized accessories, allowing you to stay in the moment and stream your footage live to the internet.” It can follow you at a fixed distance by tracking a pattern on your shirt. At one of the keynote speeches, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, shows drones from Ascending Technologies that use a depth-sensing camera from Intel. This technology finds the shortest route from Point A to Point B while avoiding obstacles in the way. CES 2015: Why the future of drones is up in the air CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood said, "Drones are arguably the most hyped product at CES.” There was a pink version of the Ghost Drone at CES, under the belief that the quadcopter would thus be more appealing to the female market. DJI showed their Drone Stick, a handheld mount when you are not flying your camera. It's compatible with the DJI Inspire 1 camera and gimbal. DJI also announced the new H4-3D gimbal, which works with the GoPro Hero4 Black camera. It also works with the DJI Phantom 2 and Flamewheel systems. CES 2015: The drone revolution begins with AirDog, Hexo+ and Nixie The Hexo+ drone from Squadrone System is another autonomous auto-follow drone getting a lot of attention. They call it a “self-flying camera,” but you supply the GoPro and control it through an app. Available for pre-order at $1,149.

A new civilian HALE, 12 drones for the holidays, where to fly your drone in the UK and Canada, drone near misses and hits, and a holiday video of the week. News Arca Space Announces New Range of High-Altitude UAVs New Mexico-based Arca Space Corporation announced the AirStrato line of electric HALE (High Altitude Long Endurance) UAVs.

Where you can and can't fly a drone The niche hobby has turned mainstream, and that means lots of new drone pilots after the holidays. What are the rules in the UK? TGI Friday's Dumb Mistletoe Drone Cut Somebody's Face Open TGI Friday's idea for drones carrying mistletoe inside the restaurant has already resulted in an accident. During a demonstration for the Brooklyn Daily, the pilot encouraged the reporter to let him land the drone on her hand. She flinched and the drone struck a photographer in the face. Pilots fear private drones after Heathrow near-miss The UK Airprox Board (UKAB) is expected to release its report on December 12 about the Heathrow Airport incident earlier this year where an Airbus A320 with passengers had a close encounter with a civilian drone.

Since June 1, there have been 25 such encounters of small drones coming “within a few seconds or a few feet of crashing into much larger aircraft.” The list is available from The Washington Post in Near Mid-Air Collisions With Drones. The Government Admits Drone Rules Won't Be Ready Until at Least 2017 The FAA was given until September 2015 to establish regulations that integrate UAS into the National Airspace. The The Government Accountability Office (GAO) says the rules won't be in place until 2017 or later.

Opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurs looking to develop a commercial UAV business. This Episode The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle industry is in its infancy and presents many business opportunities to entrepreneurs. Some opportunities are obvious, like agriculture, real estate, emergency response, and package delivery. Others have not yet been imagined. In this episode, we look at issues for UAV startups, with someone who is immersed in that process. Guest Don Toporowski is an advisor to clients of both the MaRS Discovery District, Canada's largest centre for innovation and business acceleration, and with startups coming out of the Queen's Innovation Connector. Don has focused on the CleanTech sector for most of his career, but he recently shifted his focus to the UAV market. He hopes to find a few entrepreneurs with very good ideas for businesses developing or using UAV technologies, and to help them build winning sales strategies, raise capital, and become successful in their endeavors. Don describes some UAV startup success stories, and the current roadblocks faced by entrepreneurs: regulatory uncertainty, funding issues, availability of business insurance, and reliability of UAVs.
