If you ever watch youtube/Andrew Caramata doing his property management/excavation stuff you will be amazed by how long his video are and the distances he flies with his drone. He even has a video where he takes it apart and does a repair on the camera mount system to get it to run smoothly. I'm a real fan of this youtube videos about the arborist/tree climbing pruning and tree removing (don't know exactly what to call it). Ace Tree out of VK land has some awesome videos. I could use someone around here like that but the one quote I got was over $1000.
