    Just a heads up to people thinking that this is just so easy..
    You have to have a drone part 107 license to be able to sell any image or video captured with the drone.
    The regular drone license is just for recreational flying.. You need the commercial 107 part to be able to do anything involving MONEY with the drone.

      yeah, and everything is up in the air with the mini 3 especially now that remote ID is in effect. apparently remote ID only works on the mini 3 if you purchase the bigger battery. you can still fly it unregistered with the normal battery which keeps the drone under 250g, but part 107 just got more complicated.

    This concept and your presentation, are great examples of freelance/gig work. The area I live in is booming with new houses and subdivision development, and a service like this could be very valuable to both the developer, and future owners. In fact, the average person owns a home for around five years before listing it for sale again, there is potential to resale digital packages to each new owner.

      not being a hater, just realistic, but who would see value in that video as a buyer of a residential property? I went onto the website in this video. It looks pretty average to say the least. I was hoping for a wow factor, but it's just not there. If I'm buying this property, I see no difference in the nerf compared to a standard circular drone video. Why would the seller of the property want to pay for something that they can get from a standard drone video? I like the walk-though 360 video. That was good.

    As a DJI Mini 3 fanatic, this is a masterclass. Almost went down this same route for drone freelancing but decided against it because of other commitments - but this is exactly what I would've done to get started. The business system is so sick and your workflow is inspiring especially since the whole process is basically free. Would imagine there are some things you can leverage with the LumaLabs API / AI-based editing plugins, but this is seriously so rad. Earned a sub for sure - can't wait to follow your progress!

    My realtor had something similar done for our house. She paid around $2500 for all internal and exterior photos and video. Dope process. The interior photographer made $1200ish in 1hr. The drone and AI imager made $1300 in 45min. Seriously considering going into this as a side gig.

      Looks like as cheap as 300$ for aerial photos up to 1300 for full 3d package including indoor and outdoor and post-processing (much more than 1 hour of work). This is in so cal. Not sure where you are at and your realtor is paying nearly double. She may have just lied to you to appear as though she is investing more time/money(very common). Checked about 5 of the top websites on google for these prices.

      Wow! That’s amazing!!! So say that’s 1-2 hours of getting the drone shots + getting the 360 video of inside and outside + let’s say 2 hours of editing. So my guesstimation would be 2-4 ish hours total making $500-$2500 depending. That works out to be about $125-$625 / hour. You do 4 clients a month that’s $2000-$10000 in a month. Then you double and do 8, that’s $4000-$2000 a month. Double and do 16 that’s $8000-$40000 a month. So yeah! Sounds like it could be really profitable once you have that influx of clients.

    • @Yourmomma568

      It depends on your area and the company. 2500 might be reasonable on a house worth several hundred thousand. In my area, you can get all those from the same guy for about 800$. Many firms are offering packages for real estate that include all of those things for progressively lower prices.

    Thanks for the video Dylan. One thing I noticed though, with the 360 video, is that behaves differently on a phone than it does on anything with a bigger screen. If you stay on the project website, the 360 vid is "fishbowl" and you have no control over the view. However, when you open it in RUclips, then the view is normal but the only way to change the perspective is by moving the phone around! I set up my own sample project site to show to prospective clients. I noticed this happening with the 360 vid and thought I had done something wrong until I went back and checked your project site. Not a show stopper and I haven't checked it on a larger "pro" phone either.

      First rule in acquiring clients is building trust. Easiest way to build trust is to offer something valuable for free. Less cryptic version: Do it for free and offer it to several customers for an honest review? Really cool things start to happen after that. They may actually refer people to you. They themselves might see an ongoing need for that service. You get to start building your portfolio of actual real world application of your service than now you can leverage of social media, RUclips or Run Ads with. I always start simple. If you have a good product, give it away for free to valid that you think is good, others also think is good. After you validate, you promote and network, rinse and repeat.

    Very good video Dylan. One of my first "lessons" from you was using the Mini 2 with Maps Made Easy. I used it to create a 3d model at my home, then I did another using Agisoft Metashape. Similar to what you show here, I'm trying to use all free or inexpensive tools due to this being a hobby and no real income yet. I have picked up some roof inspections with Bees360, but that is about it. I am actually in a new subdivision in Middle TN and people move here from the north east, California, Illinois, etc. on a daily basis. I need to walk down the street (literally) and do this on one of the homes under construction, then I could walk in the model home and show the agents what can be done, and maybe they could pitch this to their clients that are building the homes? It's worth a shot! Recently sold the Mini 2 and picked up the Mini 4 Pro. Looking forward to see if you have any videos coming up about it. Thanks again.

It is much easier on Luma Labs web based system than it is to go through a legit 3d modeling software. I am still trying to figure out the limits of Luma Labs though.

    Looking to get into Photogrammetry using DroneDeploy and curious if I should look into the Air3 or go with the Mavic enterprise mostly just to get the autonomous flight option. Do you think it's worth putting thousands extra into autonomous flight or would getting the new air3 be very sufficient to capture the renders and volumetric data with DroneDeploy?

    • @DylanGorman
      @DylanGorman  Год назад +6

      With Drone Deploy processing you can use any drone. For capturing data with their app you need specific drones that they highlight on their website. For accurate data you need an RTK or GCP setup. Too much to explain over a simple reply but those are the basics. The Air3 won’t get you accurate data but will get you pretty data

      If you aren't focused on capturing artistic shots with a compressed background and foreground from the 3x lens or wildlife shots where you would use the 3x zoom lens to avoid getting too close and scaring an animal, you could save yourself a lot of money and get the Mini 3 Pro, which has the same main camera as the Air 3.

    As a pilot who flies GA aircraft, I am afraid of drones. I’m afraid of birds too, but birds are generally afraid of my plane and stay away from me, drone pilots may not be fully aware of my presence with no way to communicate with me.

      This is a fantastic question. There is no “one method” to securing a client. It takes a trial and error as some will respond to cold calls, warm intros and even simply just offering them in person/ on the job site a sample to get them to bite. Having a portfolio (even if it’s of your own home or a friends home) can be the place to start. Looking for a developer that is building several homes in a neighborhood can also be a gold mine.

    Awesome content, question I just bought the m3p , I saw that you used thew hvec and the 5.6k ... Could you explain the reason please?

      That was specifically for the GoPro 360 footage not the drone. With 360 video you want the highest resolution possible since you aren’t just looking in one direction but all directions. Example, if I exported it in 1080p the video would be super grainy and hard to tell what’s going on where with 5.6k it’s a higher resolution so that when you do look around you don’t lose details

    so how do you find the owners and know that they are in areas that is too far to travel for themselves? I'm confused I'm from Sydney Australia and 80-90% of houses being built around Sydney i would imagine are from sydney . I mean there is probably some chinese owners but geez how on earth are you meant to know this?

      Why Amazon customers not go to shop to buy things cheaper and without waiting for delivery?
      Why get a plumber when you can learn the trade yourself?
      Why catch a bus when you can walk for free?

    Nice video, how would you use the gimbal and iphone? I have a insta 360 flow, iphone 13 pro and a mni 3 pro.

      Gimbal wheel on the controller, or swipe up or down on the right side of the flight screen

    So to get started exactly other than my drone, gopro, what else do you recommend if using a iPad Pro for editing ?

    What if there are properties that desire drone footage in an authorization zone? What work arounds would you suggest?

    • @DylanGorman

      You get an authorization to fly. These two properties were in an authorization zone so I had to get my approval to fly in it.
