I wonder if it worth to start shooting with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional?
Any advice on this?

 Remember all the excitement from the last Microstock Expo 2013 in Berlin? A fellow photographer just reminded me about all the great content in the 24+ hours of MEXPO video. This gave me the idea to give something back to this great microstock community which made that event so great. So I spoke with my co-creator of the conference, Lee Torrens of Microstock Diaries, and minutes later the videos from both conferences (2011 and 2013) are no longer 199. Theyre now all available free to watch here (with a registration!)Some highlights:- 36h of high-quality videos covering both entire events
- Learn from the best stock photographers and videographers on the planet
- Learn in minutes what these guys took years to figure out
- Find answers to: How to find niches to shoot for, what keywords to use, how to shoot effectively, how to optimize your workflow
- Includes masters such as Yuri Arcurs, Andres Rodriguez, Simon Krzic, Bruce Livingstone, and Scott Braut, among many other
- Covers topics of production strategy, metadata techniques, trend analysis and everything an ambitious microstocker could want
- Also includes valuable insights for agencies and other businesses in the marketplace via the agency executive presentations and the 3-hour Agency Masterclass
Thanks again to all of our speakers, moderators, friends and business partners who have made both events so enjoyable and so packed with awesome value. Now get yourself a nice cup of coffee and start the show!

It's nice to have the list so thank you, OP, for that.
But in no way is it "surprising". That was obviously a marketing ploy for the title. Now if you were to tell me that foot fetishes was a trend, I would be surprised 
Indeed the "surprising" was a bit of a clickbait...

Looking at the top-selling photos and concepts from different agencies can be inspirational for those of us who don't think we know it all.
(I know this was originally posted in March but I guess there were a few new comments so glad it popped up when I looked for "new content") Thanks Amos.
You are most welcome - happy to help with some inspiration here.

Thanks Amos Struck: All I do is aerial photos and aerial mapping ( vertical photos) with a few in microstock . But your examples in those type of photos gave me all kinds of ideas of what to take that would sell in stock. I guess you can teach a old dog new tricks.
Smiling Jack
Glad you got some inspiration from the trends. There are several really good images, especially the one from Yuri which was shot with the drone.

Many of the 50 were spot on. If you list every possible trend in the market, surely you will get a few right.
All we do is asking the certain stock agencies for their trends. We always try to have a diversity in the type of agency such as Photocase or Stocksy compared with Asian based like Pixta.

Last year,we have asked image agencies for their take on the upcoming photography trends for 2014, and many of the 50 stock photo trends we published were spot on. 2015, we are going even further: 16 agencies replied to our request for their trends in photography, so we are presenting the top 80 photography trends 2015 and of course shooting ideas for photographers (some of them might surprise you). Here are the 80 Surprising Stock Photography Trends 2015 What do you think about them? Do you think the certain stock agencies are right with their trends?

Secrets just sound great as topic No, seriously it's a pretty interesting presentation and Robb is showing his struggles as well over the years. Why would you give away 'secrets' if you're already having a hard time turning a profit?
