Interesting and entertaining, kudos Jason for tackling one of the more polarizing areas of the industry. I saw that mostly the respondents were solution providers, which makes sense since you're on an Expo floor ;-). I would be interested to see what end users say to this question.
Definitely not past the hype. We were at Commercial UAV Expo too. DroneUp couldn't even tell us how many single pilot operators they have that fly Enterprise Drones and need BVLOS. Hint: it's not many - yet, BVLOS is still front and center "for everyone." Why? The business models are shit. The end user market doesn't know how to value itself, other than to undercut each other to the point of very little margin. All you need to look at is the latest "funding round" for various UAV companies and see the hype. And then look at all the Market Research Data reports that are available from so many sources - they are so over forecasted. Anyway, cool new Enterprise drones though, eh? Next time, don't ask people that benefit from the hype.
I feel you. I started at a drone company that was nothing BUT hype. Good people, but all “slideware”. Funding rounds don’t equal capability or maturity. Many think that BVLOS is the final frontier for drones, but I don’t agree (maybe the subject of another video). It is interesting that there was a distinction between excitement to enter the industry versus racing to create solutions. Thanks for the comment.
I know with all this rules I regret getting in to drone.i got the Air 2S and I barely fly it scare I'll get a big ticket.i don't understand how this country allows things to be sold and once out the store is illegal in most places smh.
@@DoYouKnowDrones Yeah but in my town is illegal to fly drone.a regular joe like me fly a drone cops come and still give you a ticket.its sucks I spend $1,500 on an item I'm scared to fly most of the time.i used it to do Facades on abandon buildings.practicing that lol
Interesting range of views, great to be part of it.
It's still an emerging industry. It's just the beginning.

A video focused on end users would be interesting… great idea!
it needs to be beyond the hype and become a part of industry standards in many fields.
Completely agree. There’s no doubt that drones are here to stay, but there’s still some residual hype depending on your perspective.

People in the industry, mostly, don't benefit from hype. At least not long term - because it's damaging.

I know the rules can seem scary, but as long as you follow them, you have nothing to worry about.
