The business is going well! I've only been in this business since I got my Part 107 Remote pilot certificate on September 7. Since then, I've worked on 2 weddings with a local photographer/videographer (the wedding photographer tells me what shots they want and I take them). I've also worked with 2 local realtors and a landscaper who needed aerials of a golf course.
I do not charge very much because I do not want to drive them into the," I'll just get a drone myself" mindset. That being said, I have made my money back for all equipment I've bought and certification I have gone through.
I charge based on time invested. (How long am I needed to get the shots they want, time for post production if they want me to do it)
Very cool, thank you for the insight.
I am looking at buying a drone soon, probably the Phantom 4, and starting a small business filming retail, events, personal projects, quality inspections, etc.
With that said, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the following..
- Type of Drone best suited for this type of work (or what do you recommend)?
- Best way to start off attracting realtors/property owners?
- Editing software recommendations?
And last question (a bit personal), do you find this as a sustainable way to make a living? Or do you see it more as a side business/venture moving forward?
I don't mean to sound too business-like, my passion for photography and working for myself are the driving factors behind the questions. Also, I have to admit, I'm a bit of a newbie in the drone scene.
Thanks for any advice you can give! |
