How My DJI Mini 3 Makes Me $2500+ A Month

[@wonderlandparty6054]

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.

[@okjohnnygo]

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.

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.

[@MCIMGMT]

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.

@@qsam14 Yeah depends on one's situation and how they value their time.

[@TurnMeUpJKav_284]

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.

[@paulsherman7031]

I think the 360 walkthrough is the most interesting. Nobody is doing that! Everyone sets the camera in the corner and does a still 360 and makes a semi-virtual walkthrough. What you've shown that can be done is awesome! It's an ACTUAL 360 walkthrough!

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.

dont expect to find consistant work with a drone locally.. Expect to travel.. And dont expect to charge thousands like everyone is trying to suggest.

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]

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

[@DanielCrist]

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.

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?

As long as those property purchases are legal and lucrative they will happen whether we take the work or not.

To make a difference I think our effort is better spent telling policymakers that we don't like the policy.

I’m in the service business but I hear what you are saying. It’s the world that we live in so if I can make money to get by then I’ll do so by economical means

[@dji1tommy29]

@@DylanGorman I hear ya and I understand your circumstances too.

[@Outlaw.cinema]

Would the DJI spark work for now until I get a new one? What do you like to use to send image files to clients ?

[@LingLongshot]

It's easy to create that content but hard to get stupid clients who will pay you for that and that much. But nice dream and awesome, if you make already money with that!

[@SiphusS]

Hey hey! Just wondering how to approach new clients or rather how did you get paid when you didn't have a track record?

[@stat11]

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, KZbin 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.

Man this is awesome it's like youtube read my mind. Literalaly yesterday I explained to my friend that I'd like to start a business making drone footage and here you are explaining how. I'm gonna save this one to come back to whenever I have questions. Thanks a lot man, liked and subscribed.

[@gleeloyd]

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 KZbin, 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.

[@mf1522]

Does it work with mini 2 as well

[@DylanGorman]

Yes

[@StellaDavila]

It only works with mini 2. SDK is only available on that drone. I got scammed buying a mini 3 pro with fly more combo. I’m asking for a refund. But they are going to say it’s too late.

[@ezy.904]

Good Stuff!!!! Thank You. I just sold my Mini 2. In your opinion should I get the mini 3 pro or the air 3 for projects like this one you showed. I’m not worried about cost. It’s more about comfort for me. Thanks

[@nicholassampaiodeoliveira867]

I just started doing this job, and I would like to know what you did to change the URL for your projects to make them accessible to clients? Does I need a plan, and if so, which one should I get?

[@818_MT-09]

Dylan, this video inspired me and I suddenly came up with a business idea that I know will do well as a side hustle. Thank you for helping me spark this idea! I will personally update you with my progress as time goes on! Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed!

[@kshitijkadiya7804]

Were you able to make it work?

[@CodekoKyle]

You are so generous for sharing this idea of yours with the world! You are great man. ❤❤

[@LifeOfMikey1]

my question is how do you get a client. and is that like a real estate company or what?

[@Wawadewa]

Great vid. As a netsuite consultant, I make 1000 usd per day. Mostly sitting in meeting rooms, being treated to the best foods and hotels. I travel in Business class. I heard that SAP consultants make 3x this amount. So I guess ERP/ CRM/ Bi consulting can make you very rich, very fast. It took me a diploma in Business management, 2 years as an auditor, 4 years as an accountant and 2 years working with a NetSuite consulting firm to get all I needed to be worth 1000 USD/day. But now I see electricians, plummers, painters earn half of what I earn (I'm 45) but with just a 3 month course. I guess govt. printed so much money, anyone can become rich doing almost anuthing than a 9 to 5 job.

[@thesmalltownrealtorbigsky]

Hello, curious to know what program you embedded your 360 video on. I love the idea of having a video and being able to move around the room when you pause it

[@stsmma4544]

What is your offer and how did you initially contact your first few clients? Very interested in the course also!

[@cordelrostokes455]

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

[@360portugal]

The Virtual tour concept assumes that we can move around inside the building (photo or 3D) and stop the camera and rotate 360º.... but how is this achieved and with which Luma app? From what I see, Luma has two apps: one to convert a video into 3D but only for iphone 11 or higher and the Flythough app asks $10 for each model, that is, we have to pay to see an example. I would like if you could really explain to us what the end product customers pay $500 for, just for that aerial 3D model?

[@DylanGorman]

Fly through is their new app and is honestly pretty cool. And yes the end product is what you see on that website

[@okanaganpeterjames]

You recomend the go pro max over the insta 360 x3?

[@DylanGorman]

I recommend whatever 360 camera you can afford. I have 3 of the GoPro Max cameras so that’s why I use them.

[@okanaganpeterjames]

​@@DylanGormani have never owned a 360 and i have some clients asking about doing video virtual tours. Didn't realize it was possible to do that with the 360 camera. Thanks man loving your content.

[@JeSSTeR81]

So your creating your own site, what If the client wants the project for their advertisement or website.. ?

[@dennisandrews8485]

How do you get the customer?

[@btrain3369]

Awesome video, just got a DJI Avata 2. But my question is about Luma AI. I have an account, but dont see anywhere to trun video into 3D model, or are you just using a prompt?

[@bskarpa]

So do you have to have your drone license for this? I remember back when I was flying, it was coming out and if you wanted to make any money then you had to get one.

[@joel9662]

@dylangorman just to confirm, the 3D walk throguh is prepared using your gopro software that came with the camera, not another software. Luma AI did not like my interior photos ;). It also did not like my test capture of a cell tower, too many gaps in the lattice structure. I think I have work around to take more higher angle shots which shows lattice gaps against ground vice the sky. TIA

[@crewcalls]

an you go over a few potential ways to hook up with a client? Is it the realtor? or the construction GC? Who do you contact to make the sale?

[@LSang27]

Sounds awesome. But as I’m sure a bunch of other people have said… how do you get clients to begin with?

[@ChrisWard74]

Very interesting, so I could use my DJI Mavic 2 Pro for something like this. On the 3D view of the building is the only option to have a link or can you export an OBJ file as well for use in other programs? For your Pictures/Videos are you using Auto settings or are you shooting in D-Log and post editing the colors?

[@callumthrow]

It looked like he was using auto from the DJI app screen. I'd say to keep costs low (from experience) auto is best otherwise you need to charge a few hours for editing.

[@NichoMageras310]

Do you create a seperate webpage for each customer?

[@mitchellmarion1544]

What's the best way to find a customer base for this?? Seems like it could be anything from new home being built or massive construction project how or where is the best way to find clients???

[@Alkiel]

pretty sure he is ALREADY IN THE INDUSTRY, and WAS in the industry. To me that alone changes everything

[@raczyk]

For that, where do you find clients and how do you pitch them? Also, the $500 per month fee is for how long of a duration? How many weeks is each built of house?

[@adamkouideraissa4585]

Do we have to use a gopro max or dji mini 3 ? is there alternatives?

[@joshuasiniscal8930]

How did you find your clients for the job you talked about? I don't know where to go to find clients who are building homes.

[@cordaveusarnold4271]

In ur course do it go over how to get a client like this?

[@DadP0d]

Hey bro, can you share the camera settings and drone settings you are using? Thank you.

[@TheNNguyener96]

Awesome content but I'm curios is the interactive 3D model suppose to look so cartoon or clay like? The pics are great but the 3D models doesn't look presentable.

[@TheNuggetforce]

@dylangorman what kinda computer are you using? PC or Mac. What are minimum specs for the 3D map rendering?

[@DylanGorman]

This is all in the cloud so you can use whatever modern computer form 2012 and up!

[@AGL_AerialsTampa]

What kind of properties would this be best for? Do you think it would work with commercial projects (ie apartment complexes)?

[@aussie-doggy]

Hey! Love the video! I wanted to say, I cant seem to see where to use photogrammetry on lumalabs, was it removed?

[@VideoAve]

Very, very cool! Excellent business model and very creative idea for a service! I wonder, how do you find clients if they don't live in your area? Do you go to every construction site and ask whose property it is? Or you have some sort of relationship with construction companies? Or you have aggressive online marketing? Thanks!

[@blablah538]

You can put on website to view anywhere in the world? How to achieve such a feat?

[@eddie30969]

Great video thanks! I got discouraged when the FCC started adding all the rules a few years ago and sold all my drones except DJI mini. My question is do you still have to get the 105 license to charge foe drone shots if the drone is under the 254 gram weight? Or can you use that drone and not have to get the FCC 105 pilots license? Thanks again you sparked my interest.. Ed Owen

[@dejsusnovas7741]

Awesome vid! What PC and/or laptop do you use to edit?
