Hi everyone,

I have an Inspire 1 V2.0 and am a videographer. I recently obtained my certificate from the FAA to legally use my drone commercially for projects. I am trying to figure out a pricing system and am curious as to how other professionals are charging for their aerial work. Can anyone lend any information or advice?

Thank you,

Anthony

It all depends on your experience and results.  If you get amazing images, better than your competitors and with less hassle, you can charge more.  

There will be people working for $100/day and others working for $3000/day using the exact same equipment.   

Where you live is also a major factor.  If there isn't a large TV/video/corporate market then you may be restricted to real estate, but even then you can try to focus on high end properties that have a marketing budget.

It is a problem in that there is not a standard and there are those that don't care about the time and investment. Is there an answer? Guess we have to depend on our service and  professionalism.
