What is a licensed drone pilot?

This is someone who has taken their part 107 test from the FAA and passed. This is not a test on how to fly a drone but instead it covers airspace rules and regulations, how to read sectional charts, air traffic operations and regulations specific to drone flight. Once this test is passed you do receive a physical license from the FAA. I am proud to say I do have mine.

Is a license required?

Well that really depends. According to the FAA you have to have a drone pilots license (part 107) if the reason for your flight is anything other than recreation (for fun). A phone call from the FAA at minimum and fines at maximum for breaking this rule. Using someone who does not have their license can get both parties in trouble.

How do you calculate your prices?

I do my best to be fair on pricing. Drones, licenses, websites & my time all add up. I’ve done my best to look at the market and get a feel for what others are charging. I cant give my work away or I wont be able to provide this service.

What drones do you use?

Currently I use two drones from DJI.

The Mavic 3 Pro - My cinematic drone, I use this to capture all of my real estate shots, panoramic photographs, and any 4k video. It is a medium sized drone and handles wind nicely. It also is very versatile with 3 lenses and the ability to track subjects.

The Avata 2 - my first fpv drone. This is a very new drone that was released recently and is geared toward capturing the action up close and personal. It is a very fun drone to fly and is a different experience altogether from the Mavic 3 pro.

These drones together give me the ability to capture a wide variety of events - anything from your real-estate listing to your motocross event (where allowed).

What areas do you cover?

I mostly work from North Eastern Kentucky and the surrounding area. If you are interested but think you are too far away shoot me a message and we can determine if location is an issue or not. thedronepulse@gmail.com
