LOVE these. They are so helpful for a new startup in this business. Just to get "artificial" experience, know whats expected, what to remember, be better at planning and discussing the job preflight etc. Thank you. Almost nobody else does this. They all just sit in front of the webcam saying "I made 10k per week using my mini 4 pro" (lol) but never once actually went through a SINGLE jobs work day and process. You are legit, they arent.
Checking out your other videos. Great content man. As someone that plans on spinning up a business with MY NEWLY DELIVERED CINEBOT30, this information and kind of footage is AMAZING!!
Ah dude thank you very much man. Really appreciate it and glad you are enjoying my content mate. I also have a discord channel set up so if you fancy joining that head over to my patreon and I'll give you access. We've got a good little community in there. shorturl.at/ouDfk
I rarely subscribe any channel, but the content this guy uploads has way better information and shows real world interaction aswell. Is it possible to show us the final Results of the POV day in a life videos please? And also do you fly at Angle or Acro? just curious.
@@siansalins3639 hey mate, thank you that really means a lot to me. Yes l, I'm actually going to put it up in the next couple of days once I have finished the edit. Also I fly in acro mate. Thanks for the support
Another great episode, Jamie. This reminded me that I didn't send you my number yet 😅 Hopefully, it will get warmer soon so we can go out and rip some packs. Keep up the good work! 👍
Love this insight, great to see the whole journey and some awesome pilot skills 👌 I was part of the second drone mentor group so know of you already but unfortunately life got in the way and the business had to take a back seat but 2025 is the year to break through and it’s inspiring to see your achievements.
Hello Jamie ! I really love your videos they are great ! I am considering trying to go pro and would greatly appreciate having your advices and honest thoughts on how to getting started and the pros and cons of the job. Maybe you could consider making a video about it, i'm sure a lot of people would be interrested to see it. PS: English isn't my first language feel free to ask if you have a question about what I meant to say. Thanks for your videos !
Hey mate, thank you very much for watching mate. Absolutely mate. Im going to be addressing all these sorts of questions in my live streams and videos over the coming weeks/months as there is a lot to get through and better to share a little bit of info at a time. But yes mate keep your eyes peeled and I will be going through all this sort of stuff. 🙂
Man there is something soothing in watching you do your work in a human pace. An inspiration for sure. Now i do some comercial work with 5" and some cine and im wondering would you consider the Sony ZV-E10 II. Its almost as light as the gopro and offers you log .. or the blackmagic micro? Cheers man loving it, you seem like a really patient and chill guy. !
@@Syncopad thank you man. Yeah I really enjoy this work so I try not to get stressed out haha. I do have a cinelifter whoop with a naked bmpcc 4k or the Micro studio G2 but find the go pro does a good enough job on most things. I do use the lifters on bigger projects. Glad you enjoyed watching mate. Appreciate your support
Hey Jamie , first off happy new year to yourself. Great video covering the whole job . Entertaining/ interactions and of course flying the drone. Have ordered on myself. Big well done 👍 is someone was to pick your brain what the best way to reach out to you ?
I think you mentioned you work for a company, have you ever done jobs independently or is that harder to do? Love the inside look on the moneymaking side of FPV!
Because I'm lazy hahahaha. Nah I just find it easier to deal with a full size GP on shoot days as it's less fiddly and tends to be more reliable. I used to use naked Go Pros and still have several but I found them to be a little annoying. Thanks for watching mate appreciate the support
@@amirghadimi3591 thanks mate. No you really want to be in acro to to get the smoothest flight but it's up to you. Angle mode is easier to start off with but it's limiting and you are always fighting the auto level but really fly however you are comfortable.
Thank you mate. My settings are 5.4k, 16:9 aspect, 50fps, Superview, Log Colour Profile, Sharpness is LOW, Auto Shutter (only for internal), Colour temp - 5000k most of the time, Bitrate 200mbps, ISO min 100 max 400
@Volcano2.0 hey mate thanks for watching. I'm going to hold a live Q&A in a couple of days as that's a question I've had quite a few times and thought it would be better to go into detail in a video mate so keep your eyes peeled for that buddy
Brilliant video.. i have the cinebot 25 and fly it ok in manual But would like to fly as smooth as you, do you fly manual or angle and can you share your rates if you dont mind please..
Thank you mate. Nice I'd like to try out the Cinebot 25. I fly in manual mate. Find it harder to be smooth in angle as you are always fighting the auto level. I'm going to be doing a Q&A soon where I go through mate rates and that vid will be available to replay as quite a few people have asked about my rates.
I subscribed! I'm in the USA, and Just started flying FPV in July. I have immersed myself in it, and fly every day that I can, even if it's just a tiny whoop indoors if weather isn't cooperating. Passed my FAA 107 recently, and trying to build a show reel! What are some things I can do in the meantime to get a foot in the door? Currently just getting footage I find interesting for an edit.
Thanks you dude appreciate it. Putting a showreel together is a good idea mate but even posting single cool shots on things like insta and linkedin can work well mate. Linkedin is very powerful and connecting with lots of potential clients clients on there would be a good starting point.
hey jamie im just starting to get into drones and photography (im only 13) i have a mini 3 and planning to get a fpv drone soon what do u think would be a good starting drone controller and the rest you need
@@zylzr hey mate, good age to start for sure. I'm sure youll be smashing us oldies soon! You can get some really good starter bundle FPV drones from the like of beta FPV where you get the controller, goggles and a small quad to start off with which are analog. A good place to start mate as they are lightweight and robust. I would also recommend putting in some serious simulator time as well. Lift off or velocidrone are very good and the control with the kit should work with those as well. Something like beta FPV Cetus pro FPV drone starter kit would be ideal.
I have been watching this series and i love it! Keep it going m8! Just a question! You dont feel the cinebot30 to heavy with that setup! I try it when i SAW your last video and for me drone gets to slow and sloopy or it is just me ? Cheers
Thank you mate. New vids coming soon mate. No for me she flies just fine. She is on the heavier size but I quite like the stability that provides and maybe I've just gotten used to it but she can also rip with this setup so it's never been an issue for me.
Cracking job 👏 , something ill be looking into this year , im downing the tools unfortunately, im 36 2 hernias broke shoulders and in desperate need of finding something ill enjoy doing and easy on the body 😂. Can i ask what you did before Jamie ? Oh and Happy new year
Happy new year as well mate. Damn bro sounds like you've had a tough year but the only way is up dude. I was a photographer before and before that I was a music producer and in a touring band.
@@steazoxgaming the first flythrough I ever did was of a leisure centre in my local area and once I had that I used it as an example to get more of that type of work and it just went from there mate
Hello Jamie, happy new year. As always enjoyed. Im new to fpv, your day in the life videos really helps me. i have a question, In these flythroughs do you fly in acro or angle mode?
Happy new year to you also mate. Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy it and find it useful. I fly in Acro mate but fly in whatever mode you feel comfortable with mate. I flew in angle for a while when I started out and it's useful for when you bump into things as you have much more chance of recovering rather than just crashing to the ground.
really enjoy your day in the life video's great insight to what you do , can i ask why you use Gopro's ? and have you tried the DJI action 4-5 or insta 360 ace pro/2 ? it seems so many FPV flyers only use go pro's im just interested in why that is. cheers ..
Thank you mate. Appreciate it. I did try out the DJI Action 5 when it came out and although the low light performance was better it struggled with changing lighting conditions especially when flying indoors and the Go Pro just handles it much better. The bitrate was also too low compared to the Go Pro and the advantage of the Go Pro is having Go Pro Labs which means I have much more control over the settings. I have my bitrate set at 200 mbps with the go pro but the max the action 5 can do is 130mb which is just not high enough. For me im sticking with Go Pro for now. Hope that answers your question bud.
How did you get started? Did you build a portfolio and then started getting in contact with companies? I’m working on passing my part 107 right now and this is my dream so I would love to know your journey!
Hi Jamie, I really enjoy your videos and I love how you show every part of work. I was wondering how you managed to get clients and get your business running. I’m currently trying to start a side hustle whilst studying at university and have flown drones for years and decided I wanted to make some money out of my skills. Do you have any tips or suggestions that could help. All the best. Thanks
Hey mate, Thanks for watching. Appreciate that support. Like Arquac said, Linkedin is hugely powerful if used correctly. I would build up a bit of a portfolio so you can showcase it to potential clients on there and then also reach out to potential clients by connecting with them and then if they accept drop them a message with an example of your work and how you think your services would help benefit them bud.
So you switched from 13 to 12 😮 Now I have gopro 9 and I was thinking about upgrading to 13 😅 I fly indoor and outdoor so what is your opinion, should I buy gopro 12 instead of 13? Or dji action 5? Have you been flying with action 5?
Recently subscribed and loving the content. I have been flying as a hobby registered with FPV UK under artical 16. Im getting my C of C in the next few weeks to enable on the side jobs and build up my portfolio. Are you able to share any other qualifications you have other than C of C that enable you to do your job? Do you have to brief members of staff to be a spotter for you when you go to a job or have got some qualifications that allow you to fly BVLOS?

@@EifDan thank you mate appreciate it. A2cofc is a good one to have mate and I also have a GVC and OA from the CAA.

How much do you make per year?
