In this video, I explain how I made almost $100,000 with drone photogrammetry. You can go from charging $50-$150 a job, to $500+ a job with this use of technology. Drone photogrammetry is the best way to make more money with your drone with little to no effort.

►UPDATE 7/19/22
Drone Deploy just added support for the DJI Mavic Air 2s. You are now able to fly automated flight missions with the Drone Deploy application with supported IOS devices. Pick up the Air 2s here from Amazon for $999 amzn.to/3PkffBr

►UPDATE 4/24/22
Here are a few drones that I recommend for Drone Photogrammetry
1) DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 (This is the best mapping drone to date, do NOT get the "+" version as it is not supported by mapping software at all): amzn.to/3rMUUe2
2) DJI Mavic 2 Pro (This is the drone that I started mapping with, still a great option!): amzn.to/3LgeDLc
3) DJI Air 2 (This just got supported and is the BEST entry drone to get into Drone Photogrammetry, UNDER $800 for Fly More Bundle): amzn.to/3KeDDRs

►UPDATE 3/7/22

    I was trained as a photogrammetric cartographic specialist by the U. S. Air Force in 1974, manually stitching together super-high-res images from satellites and high-altitude spy planes (U2 & SR-71). It’s amazing what you can now do with less than $5,000 in equipment. I appreciate your video! If I could offer one suggestion: try to avoid repetitive phrases in your videos, especially the phrase “go ahead” that I heard over and over in this video. I know it may seem trivial but it really detracts from the obvious professionalism you portray in the rest of your content. It’s probably just a nervous habit or a “filler” designed to give you a split second to form your thoughts before speaking.
  • Absolutely awesome, impressive, and unbelievable how this technology has been developed. Dylan, great job. The best going forward!
  • @Miamiaerial
    the reality is - from here it will become a race to the bottom. just because how easy it is with no effort. enjoy as long as it pays $500 / flight
  • @jlsc4125
    I made about $20 when I sold mine, same as about a dozen other phtographers I've talked to.
  • @CR0SSR0ADS
    Been doing this for 6 years but never made that much money... I quess my pricing is wrong 😅

    Looking to learn more about drone photogrammetry? Check out our online course that will teach you all the fundamental skills and technical knowledge to start making money with your drone: www.pilotbyte.com/course/drone-photogrammetry-mast… UPDATE (7/19/2022) The DJI Mavic Air 2s is now supported in Drone Deploy. With its 1” sensor your image quality will basically match that if the Mavic 2 Pro! Pick up the Air 2s for $999 from Amazon (amzn.to/3PkffBr) Hey all, wanted to provide an update for what drones you can use with Drone Deploy. The DJI Mini 2 is NOT a drone that works with Drone Deploy. In the description of this video I have 3 drones that I recommend that work with Drone Deploy! Also check Drone Deploy's website to see what drones are supported! Litchi on the IOS AppStore works and only costs $25 one time if you have an unsupported from DJI that doesn’t work with Drone Deploy. Happy flying!
  • @mussleking
    I appreciate the effort put into the description of the vid. From the updates, more info, and the time stamps. Thank you, 👍🏽
  • Great content. Been flying since the beginning pretty much consistently and always knew the practice would eventually turn to profit. Love flying and making memories for my family but its obvious it can be more than a hobby. Subscribed.
  • @vibinoutside
    How could I not sub after this gem. Canadian drone pilot here thank you
  • @920Marine
    I use photogrammetry everyday at work and I never thought about drone photogrammetry!! Nice video!
  • @pdtech4524
    I've been doing a lot of 3d mapping, aerial property photography, roof inspections, site survey progression etc and doing very well with my original Mavic Mini. 👍😳⚠️
  • @DJLsbVapes
    OMG, this is awesome!!! Where do you advertise and sell your services?
  • when you clicked that point cloud switch - mind blown - The issue is finding clients.
  • @r.newellwood
    Thank you, I'm trying to figure out where I want to go with my drone business, and this info really helps.
  • @jd2161
    Just what I was looking for. Getting licensed in a few weeks and want to use my drone to make extra cash
  • @bejaysus23
    Hi Dylan. Really like your videos, you do a great job of explaining the technology and the opportunities for some interesting work. I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking: 1. How do you get the clientele? I'm living in new York and was wondering how to get started with this. I used to work in construction and was thinking about trying out a few free shoots to get my feet wet. Where else do you think I should look to start? Trying to broaden my chances as best I can. 2. Does drone deploy work for a Phantom 4 pro v2? My drone controller has a built in display screen. I'm worried it won't work without a tablet or iPad. 3. Do you use PPK regularly? From working in construction, I can definitely see the benefits of this. I found an attachment for my drone for about $600 that I think would be a worthwhile investment. What would be your thoughts on this?
  • AMAZING!!!! I'm a licensed Land Surveyor and have worked in Photogrammetry!! This new technology is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! That process used to take days and very costly!! Great video of what you do!!!
  • @NyuOsuGame
    Hello Dylan, im a sophmore student here in Norway studying about drones in Oslo and its quite new you see but watching ur video and seeing that my teacher actually does basically what you do for a living is making more sense to me how i can earn money with just a small little aircraft. thank u for making this video i know its a year old but when i graduate i will take inspiration from ur vid much love from Norway!
