how to start a drone business 2022 drone business plan - Věda a technologie
Thanks for sharing,
I've learnt a lot,
it was very educational.
Great video. I'm new-ish to the drone services industry, and finding all of your videos helpful and inspiring. Go Bolts!
Yet another amazing and very informative video. Thank you!! Definitely needed this. Currently preparing my business for launch. Almost there but pricing is the most difficult to figure out, but you’ve helped a lot with that. Thank you again for your videos, hard work, and all the information!
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
Great tips I will definitely look into that
Such an under rated video thanks a ton man.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks sir 👊🏼
Your videos are well made, thanks
I appreciate that thank you!
Bro I would love learn more about drone services from you. You're a boss at this stuff. HELP!!!!
First of all.. Thank you big time. As a student of this trade, watching videos where many tend to chatter on without getting to the points. However, you waste no time getting to the precious info so I have great respect for your effective efforts.
(Subscribe and Like everyone.. This one is Gold.)
Thank you for sharing. How do you price larger contracts? What metrics are you busing to come up with your figures? Thanks in advance!
Alot of these tips apply to sales… Good stuff
Excellent
Great info, I just got my part 107 license, and I’m looking to make looking to make a career out of this. Hopefully I can jump into the market in Atlanta Ga!
very informative video! :)
Thank you!
Great video. Would love to hear more specifically about these types of data to offer clients. Basically specific examples. Are we talking measurements, image processing, etc?
Do you think you'd be able to make a video where you go through a business pitch. Kind of like the viewers are the prospective client. It's all well and good to say you need to know your data sets, but for people new to the industry it can be tricky to know...what you need to know.
Yes, that would be great.
Reach down deep. Grab your balls, and use your words like a man.
"Can you please teach me what to say?"
👀
Very helpful. I wish we could have a one on o e , I have questions specifically related to my geographic area before I invest in the part 107 test. Ive been trying to find drone work in this city and it's like trying to find a secret club. Getting very discouraged
This is awesome info my friend. Did you build your own pavement assessment team or you outsource that to somebody specialized on that?
We work with a 3rd party but are looking to bring them in house with some of our AI that we have built out!

G'Day Dylan. I've been researching my first drone, mostly on youtube and stumbled across your channel. Nice work, well done! I'll try keep it short and not write an essay. Initially looking at the DJI Mini 3 Pro, but after watching your Mini 3 Pro video, and many others you've published, I'm considering bigger opportunities. I'm Australian, currently flying a desk for a Hong Kong airline in quality assurance auditing which my private pilots license proved valuable, as I'm guessing it might in the drone industry. I'm keen to return to Australia and tour around the country full-time in a caravan. Your videos have opened my mind to the opportunities the drone industry may provide (pay the bills and fund the trip). If you feel you can offer thoughts on a suitable, versatile drone to investigate and appropriate drone work that might suit a travelling operator, I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, buddy. Stew
Hey Stew, thank you for the nice message. I would be more than happy to have a chat with you, book something with me here: calendly.com/dylangorman-pb/20minfree
Hey sir! When you take these jobs, do you bill your travel and expenses to your clients or do you handle those expenses out of what you're charging?
Thanks for all the tips, have you ever worked with an EVO II 6K, would you consider that is a drone to put on work and sell services?
I haven't tried out that drone yet but I know its capable, very capable!
great video, been looking to expand into other business models and this is very interesting to me. ive been drafting with Autocad since 1999 for commercial and residential buildings in Palm Beach.i have an extensive client base from home owners, real estate, contractors, architects, engineers, and property managers who i can tap into. so this give me a leg up if i do this, so i thank you for the idea! keep up the good work, you're a great teacher of your craft and your passion for it sold me to explore this possibility! however, watching one of your videos, you mentioned uploading a property to the metaverse but didnt have much understanding with why people are paying serious money and havent explored this avenue yet. i was wondering if you've done any more research into this or had any revelations about this avenue. also, which platforms could you upload properties to the metaverse? im interested about the $$ so im trying to figure out how to tap into that industry as its going to be crazy profitable. i have a feeling its making the drone model an nft, uploading the nft to whatever metaverse and list it for sale on something like opensea or the decentralized marketplace within that metaverse. any insight you have would be greatly appreciated!
Im still doing more research about the metaverse with drone photogrammetry. There's a lot to unpack and I will do that in a full video in the future! I appreciate the support!
What do you mean by pavement analysis? How do you perform one? And what software are you using?
Love your videos🤘✊
Could you elaborate on what pavement analysis is and who you’re analyzing team is?
Do they analyze anything you send them or just pavement?
Just pavement.
can you make a video shows us your demo dataset?
I have a maverick pro two and a mini two, and would like to get in some commercial flying feel very hesitant at first but like you said earlier in your video, it’s like having an expensive toy. I’d like to find someone in my area to conversation about how to make money with my drones.
Tyler one of my biggest concerns when starting a new business is BEST* allocation of capital. Should I stick to the tried and true like realty, should I be buying some razzmatazz UBER new drone for flying inside pipelines. Should I be investing in a bit of each, if so what percentage of capital do I use for interior inspections eg.? I'm still very keen on photogrammetry but again allocation. I don't want to spread myself to thin and I don't want miss out on exposing my business to bleeding tech where I hunch most of the low hanging fruit will be. Thank you for your video, great advice, pavement analysis? Wow so many possibilities here. 🤔👍Rich.
That's a hard question to answer, I know a lot of markets but not all of them. Pipeline inspection is one of those that I do not know very well. Thank you for the support!
what part 107 certifications do i need?
Can you do a presentation (that you would to do a client) here?
Thanks for the tips! What is the best way to learn the different software capabilities without actually buying a subscription so that you can be knowledgeable in your marketing?
Using trails is what I used to do!
Hi I've been watching your videos and your videos are very informative I would like to know what school you went to for drone pilot license or how to study or what book to buy if you recommend any
All mostly self taught or through mentors! I didn’t go to any drone school at all!
Ok cool if I wanted to start a carrier in this for real estate what would be a good drone to buy
Hello, enjoying your videos and information you share. i am planning to start a drone business in Portugal. I don't think there are a lot of drone pilots here. would appreciate any further tips/hints you could give me.
Really everything here, I also have another video you can check out for some industries that you can get into.
Hey, got a quick question for ya. I have a Mavic Air 2, I’m 107 certified, and I’ve done high-volume real estate photography for 3 years. I’m looking to start moving into the commercial photogrammetry world, but obviously don’t have access to LIDAR lol. I plan on using drone deploy, and I wanted to know if I can get reasonably accurate data of materials/objects on site (I want to use drone deploy). I know it won’t be within centimeters of accuracy, but could I market basic estimates of that sort of thing on top of the 3D Model that I would already be selling, or is that a horrible idea? I assume the clients will also be able to use the drone deploy portal to pull up those spacial estimates after I deliver the media. Also, will clients need to pay for a drone deploy account in order to edit their own data, and if so, has that been an issue in your experience? Thanks for your help!!
What would you suggest for a starter drone for working projects?
I have seen a requirement for your own drone, dji,magic or parrot.
Can't go cheap when making real money.
I just across this, i am interested in making this a company. more info, as i can grab
I just got my temporary certificate
and looking forward to meet people
who are in the drone industry
Hi there! My question is how are we gonna get paid ? After uploading the video how they send money? What is the process for that ? Please need help with that.
Hello i guess you should settle that with customer, either by crypto or bank trasfer probably
Hey there Dylan! Question for you - I've never done any type of droning or editing type of thing. I'm currently in real estate but am looking for something else I want to do. How long would you say it would take from me knowing nothing now to understanding everything and actually making money doing this? Thanks, Isaiah!

Did you ever follow through? I’m in a similar position
Dylan, I asked you on another video under another name (Steve) sorry one is for Biz, so I said I had a new Inspire 1 with a Zenmuse X3. My idea i said was to "Cold Call" people. An d you responded "YOu neve have, But maybe not a bad idea"? Ok so say I see a project starting up, and run (When I learn to fly it well) anyway so I fly the mission ( any thought on "Maps Made easy software?" Run a 3d model and
"Cold Call " the guy. Now Maybe he don't have anyone yet, if not I say "This is what I can do for you, and I'll give you this one COMP, to show you my "Abilities" Now the Tricky part. I say I want a contract to do say "Weekly/ Monthly/ what ever his time frame is. With me? Now 64 thousand dollar qestion? How do I know what to charge. Is it buy acre/ each site is diffferent.? I really want to do this. I am retired/disabled and live in Fla, so thinking maybe either 6 months or Ican just run app from car.
I am so into this. Any help would be appreciated. Got all the gear, and am watching vid after vid Test next week for 107. Thank you Steve.
PS Umm about maps made easy app?
Do you have a site where I can email you with some questions?
dylan@pilotbyte.com
Have you thought of doing a full comparison and test of maps made easy? They just added support for the air 2s, and I keep seeing stuff saying maps made easy gets volume and area measurements that are within 1% accuracy of drone deploy and pix4d. Thanks!
I might play around with that in the future and test out the accuracy!

Why did you sell your Drone business?
It allowed me to be part of a bigger company and get me access to more resources!
@@DylanGorman Oh ok, Very smart, building network.
432nd place!😄
Drone pilots show Stock Footage 😆 to the clients
All the Time hmm . i don't see you guys have any Website 🤔🤔🤔
idplans.com - that is the company who bought my old drone company. We now capture data with drones on thousands of properties. Can't post it on here as client owns the rights to it
Good god I wish I could earn some money with drones down here in Europe
Clickbait he doesn’t say how/where to get clients.
Dude... I can't build your business for you, these are just my tips on how to get paying clients. Im not just going to feed clients to you, that's the work that you have to put in yourself lol
@@DylanGormansome people want everything on a silver platter. i appreciate all the tips this video is fire
Flying drones does not make you a commercial pilot .
It clearly says "commercial DRONE pilot", not sure if you were able to read that or not.
@DylanGorman what came out of your mouth was commercial pilot .
I missed 1 word and that’s all you got out of the video? I am very clearly speaking in terms of drones, there is not a single part of the video where I talk about manned aircraft so I’m not sure why this is even a relevant thing to mention
@DylanGorman because every idiot that buys a drone act like they are a pilot., just like you did.
