When I decided to pursue my hobby of photography more earnestly, one of the pieces of equipment that I was very keen to get my hands on was one of DJI’s fantastic drones. After watching hours and hours of comparison videos and footage compilations, I was so excited to take my photo and video game to new heights (both literally and figuratively).

I was fortunate enough to have received my DJI Phantom drone as a gift and was incredibly excited to start flying. The gift came with a message from my family: “Find a way to turn this into a way to earn some income.” To be honest I hadn’t much considered this as I was just excited to see what I could create with it, but eventually as I became more adept in the use of my drone, it started to make more and more sense that perhaps I could make some money on the side flying my drone for people. What really was the first step in all this was an article from CNET titled How to get your drone license (and legally make money). If you’re interested in taking the first steps to get your own FAA license it's a good read. I’ve linked it here.
