A commercially produced drone for such an application typically costs around 1300$ for a low end model and up to 3-4k for a high end model. Ofcourse wholesale quantity makes a big difference. Additionally there is cost in the "accessories" such as the storage cases.
I really appreciate it! Currently I have a full time job as a journalist so I am grinding in the weekends and evening hours. My goal is to be able to do this full time and then I will be able to upload more frequently. But to answer your question, currently it is between 2-4 weeks given my busy schedule.
Interesting topic. I would recommend that you work a bit more on the target audience scoping and the scripting. The video production looks great to me already. The script however went to "introduction to animation", "introduction to radio communications", and "by the way drones". It does not look to me that the video answered the question. Vanilla GPS is not precise enough for the kind of shows we have today, some other positioning technology is at place (RTK GPS, relative drone-to-drone positioning, something else?). Maybe looping a domain expert over the script would help? The topic was technical, but the explanation not technical enough. Overall this seems a great effort, looking forward to seeing how your videos keep improving and become more and more interesting and informative.
Hi rodrigob, Owner of a drone show company here. I both agree and disagree with this. He did an excellent job communicating the basics of the process. While there could be a bit more technicality, the vast majority of the "how does this work" questions aren't coming from those looking to understand the inside out of real time roaming data transfers. That being said I think the only thing he definitely missed (that you nailed) was a description of RTK, what it is and how it functions with Long range radio backups for safety. Keep up the great work Now We Know this is the first video I have seen on this topic.
You have no idea what you're talking about. You talk about RF for half the video when that isn't specific or notable in any way at all to light show drones. And absolutely every single thing about collision avoidance is wrong and made up. Light show drones have no collision avoidance.
@@redacted1946 Hi! Thank you for your comment. While RF is not specific for drone shows, this is necessary for controlling drones and thought not many people would know this. As per your second point, I will check this again with a drone show company. I do know there's the MIT Robust Mader algorhitm for example, but I am not sure whether this is the algo that the people I spoke to were referring to. Thank you!
Cool video! I'm excited to see what new videos you come out with! I like this type of stuff.
Hi, I really appreciate that! I try to upload one video every 2 weeks as I still have a fulltime job.
Really cool video!
I would have liked to know how much these drone shows costs on average and also compared to the cost of fireworks
Dear Dylan, thank you so much for commenting and that is a great suggestion. Perhaps I can cover this in a future video. Appreciate the support! 🙌🙌

@@redacted1946 oh my god . thatts expensive
There was me thinking each and every drone in a light show had an individual human operator. 🤣
Must be very dumb. 🤣🤣🤣
@@CorusM Yes that's me.
Good job
Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate it a lot ✌
This is an amazing use of technology
Morphing reminds me of shape tweening in Macromedia (Adobe) Flash.
I was hoping you also looked at the legal challenges. Also somewhat impressive.
How long do you take to produce these? You are on your way to producing a top quality channel. :)
