How to Find Paid FPV Drone Work in 2023

Good advice, Kai. Issues that I have with scaling are: Targeting production/media companies is crucial. They likely have a drone pilot but specializing in the craft of FPV will help you stand out. These types of clients will likely become reoccurring instead of going to a local business who may only need the work from you once or twice in a year. Determine the service fee. Too low, and clients will assume that your service isn't quality. Too high and you limit the who will be willing to pay a premium fee. I am constantly battling trying to determine what my service and expertise is worth, and there aren't many people in my city that do it to reference from. Clients are often looking for more than just FPV, so purchasing a DJI drone, and buying a good camera and gimbal has been equally as important for me (although not necessarily a requirement). Starting a drone business in cold climates is difficult, winter slows down drastically unless you shift your focus toward winter specific events / activities in order to maintain income. Always look forward to your vids bro! Glad to see you are healthy again.

THIS WAS AN AWESOME VIDEO!!! I have been flying for a while and only for fun but the thought of making money has crossed my mind LOL. you really gave some good advice here and I think I will start working towards that starting with signing up for the license and creating some videos for my own portfolio to show off. Love your videos Kai keep up the great work.

Wow I’m amazed of the information that you gave out you gave me more knowledge what it takes to get the job!

Congratulations Kai! Truly an inspiration for all creative creators! Cant wait to see what you make next

When you mentioned Gary I was like ok I already liked this guys but now I gotta meet him! Thank you so much for making this, I learned so much!

Extremely good tips, not only for FPV but all life goals!

hey, i am a new bio-engineer. while working on a project i was watching this video and just wanted to say thanks for keeping me on task while over hearing your accomplishments.

Thank you! Your presentation has no bullshit, no fluffs, very dense, practical, and to the point. It’s refreshing. Keep up the good work. I look forward to see more of your videos. 👏👏 👏🤟

Really love the video. I'm barley stepping onto the scene of videography. I'm not currently doing FPV drone stuff just browsing seeing what its all about but stumbling across your video really put things into perspective and lit a fire under me. So thanks for the inspiration hope you get all the future endeavors you want you deserve them.

You kept popping up on my YouTube app and this video earned you my sub. Your a good dude for sharing this info with us. Seen some of your work and it's dope. I have a dji avata that I got a couple months ago. I purchased it for fun and haven't flown it much because of a busy life although after seeing your videos over and over I am starting to feel inspired to make something out of this drone. Maybe a drone gig can help me work less at my job. Currently working 95 hours per week in order to make it. I have no life outside of work. I better put my avata in the air more often and ditch the motion controller in order to get better and more comfortable with it. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Very good point of view on being able to stand out while "niching" down. Need to try that! Thank you!

So motivating! Thanks for the tips I’m a seasoned fpv pilot who is studying for pt107 and trying to break into the freelance gigs!

This came up on my feed, absolutely agree with everything you said! Best of luck to you in this industry :)

brilliant mind set. i'm in my early 30s now and was no where near your maturity back in my early 20s. i used to do fpv but i quit a few years back. now ive come back to it with a focus on real estate house tours. got me a dji 03 in a cinelog20 which is all new to me having used analog and a big 3.5 inch done in the past. thanks for this tip video. subed too.

great video. i been documenting my fpv journey through uploading my videos to my youtube channel. i really just doing it for me and to show family my progress . i hope to get paying work someday though..but im getting stuck with something as simple as the title and description of my videos..

I'd love more videos like this and anything in the pursuit of helping our snowballs to roll faster!

Hey Kai, Im 14 bought a dji V2 Goggle and built a drone with my dad. Been practicing alot and hope to start earning money soon. Thanks For the video and keep up the good work.

Thank you Kai, this is a very encouraging advice, learned a lot !

Love the vid as per usual not only entertaining but very informative, keep it up man!👏🔥
