Thanks Dylan! This is definitely the most informative drone business video I've ever watched. Five plus years in the industry and most other drone service companies hesitate on sharing information. It's been a guessing game up 'til now and I want to thank your for sharing. You're right, we have to stick together!
-
That inspire sitting on the edge of the pool: 😮😅
-
One of the best videos that I have ever watched on YouTube for drone industry. I totally agree on the 15% from the last bit of the video. Thank you for this video. You really helped me alot and I hope to see more videos like this one in the near future. Respect!
-
Very interesting. No BS and good tips. Big wow for the informations provided. You bring up specific inputs that barely no vids contain. Congrats 👌.
-
Great vid. I notice some hesitation at times from some people in the industry with regard to discussing "how much". It's like they are trying to not divulge some company secret but it leaves new pilots hanging, setting them up for ridicule. I tell new pilots the same thing about residential real estate, and I still use that as a buffer for down time and keep my flight log populated. Cheers!
-
Thank you. I am just starting in the commercial drone industry. I purchased the DJI Mavic 3 pro. I am part 107 as of July 15th . The information was very useful. Thanks again
-
Thanks Dylan and Hi from the UK. Just came across your channel. Very helpful and bags of common sense in what you say.
-
Very helpful in determining what (and IF) this is something I want to pursue. Good stuff!
-
Thank you, I might be getting ahead of myself, as I’m definitely in the beginner category. Although, you raised the ceiling and gave options to pursue.
-
I'm a young drone pilot looking to get my part 107 cert, your video helped me understand more about what I should look out for once I am able to start taking jobs.
-
Really appreciate the insight from this Dylan, thank you!
-
Thanks Dylan for your video and all that expensive information thanks a lot 🙏
-
GREAT video full of information Dylan. I believe i will be able to take my GRADD 107 training paired with your additional information and have a payback method!
-
Thanks Dylan for sharing your wealth of experience. I appreciate you sharing the professional side of the Drone industry, it began as a hobby interest and then I soon saw the various niche markets I could offer services part-time. I'll be joining your mastery course soon. Thank you
-
Thanks for the wisdom and full knowledge of what to expect when investing into these tiers. You’re part of the YouTube university professor list I’ve been building.
-
Thank you soo very much for your honesty and humility to help others out. Still working on landing my first client. Growing my roots I guess. Videos like this grow my confidence with the business. Branching my drone business off of my fence company business. Again thanks,..
-
Thanks for sharing such valuable information. I've learnt a lot.
-
Great information, and it is very helpful for us new comers of the drone service community. Thanks for your sharing Dylan
-
Thanks Dylan especially for all the things you’ve said at the end of your video. I wish that there are many “newcomer pilots” listening to that! 🎉 Greetings from Germany. If there is a chance for me to visit your country again one day, it would be a pleasure to get in touch with you.

This is a great video. Very clear, straight forward and most of all informative and honest.
