That's awesome. How long are you typically spending on site for those ortho projects? How are you getting your clients, and what types of clients are utilizing those the most?
Another example of Zeitview's low pay... I just got an offer for a property with 3 buildings. Two of the buildings are in the same area and the other is on another nearby street. They want the same bird's eye and perimeter shots on all 3 buildings as well as the mapping shots of all 3. The pay offered? $70! The same that I'd get for one building and one mapping area! Good Luck for whoever accepts that one!
Just finish uploading the assets for the mission using the Air 2s and Dronelink for the first time. Everything went well with the flight! On another note though, you may or may not know, that Zeitview says that if "Controlled Airspace Authorization" is needed for a mission, it'll be on your dashboard. This mission was in Class C Airspace, but I had to get LAANC approval there was nothing on the dash. Always check it out yourself.
Yeah you're right about the small cut of the $$$ that we get! I have another one tomorrow that I am trying to get rescheduled to Tuesday. The winds are suppose to have gust at 15 mph and over. Just a $70 deal but only 15 mins from home and a smaller building that won't take a lot of time. The mapping will take 20 mins cause they want most of the parking lot, even some that's not for the restaurant that I'm shooting. You've got me wanting to try Dronelink with my Air 2s instead of the Mavic 2 Pro with Drone Deploy. The set up for the Air 2s is quicker but I got spooked when I used the simulated flight option and it didn't complete the planned flight. I think I will take both and start with the Air 2s and have the 2 Pro as a backup. I am looking forward to the $200 plus this spring/summer though! Fly Safe!
I’ve never even heard of this my friend. Never done a mapping job. Basically just use the drone for location shot weather it’s a business or a house for real estate. Kinda lucky I live in a small town guess. I feel your frustration for sure. Get well some Homie ✊🏾
I can't seem to even sign up with them. I've setup my account, added all my gear, Part 107, downloaded the app, etc. and when I go to my dashboard page it tells me I still need to complete the info, when I click "learn more" it takes me to a page cannot be found. Will probably have to call support to get this done but not sure it's worth it after watching this anyway.
That sucks! What's crazy is mine still says that. But I did have that problem in the beginning. I forgot what I did tho. I might have tried it on a PC then the App. Or vice versa. So yeah, you may have to contact them. But I understand not wanting to since the pay is so low.
Thanks for sharing and great video as always. I have bern noticing the same issue and notified them as well. The prices are too low for the amount of work and drive times. Have to be selective on which jobs to choose.
Came across your channel today and have watched a few of your videos. Really enjoy watching. New subscriber. Also signed up for zeitview today. Hopefully can get a few jobs from there.
Ah man, I'm honored! I really appreciate you watching and torso subscribing! I'm glad you like my vids! Good luck with ZV. You have to be patient tho bc ut starts off slow. Btw, you should join my Discord. I just set it up but there's a lot of people so far and it's a great placed to learn and be inspired.
great video enjoyed it. Got some questions. So when you use this do you do the mapping yourself or it already mapped out for you. What do you use for your mapping dronelink or litchi. What drone you are you using. Thank you
When I do mapping missions I use Dronelink and the Air 2S. I create the map in DL, and Zeitview processes the 2D/3D Orthomosaics. I just upload the images.
@@Rocket510 are you paying for the monthly subscription with DroneLink? I was hoping on these mapping jobs through these other companies, that they would cover you to do the work on their own enterprise license or something like that. MapsMadeEasy worked out for me on the old Mini 2 with the RC-N1 controller, but I'm not sure what to use on these new controllers with the built-in screen. I think we're on our own once you upgrade to those.
@@JoeBoone82 I paid for Dronelink, the Elite package, and it was a one-time fee of $100 or $150 (I forgot how much exactly). It really would be nice if they let you use a license. When I bought mine, I did it bc I was hoping to get clients someday and I would practice until then. I didn't know ZV would one day offer me mapping jobs. So I'm glad I got DL bc I was ready when they finally offered a mapping job. Now, that's all I do so the jobs have paid for the software.
@@JoeBoone82 Also, I use the RC-N1 as well. I couldn't get DL to work on my RC-Pro bc it didn't have Google Play Services. But that was a year or more ago so maybe it supports it now. I'll have to check. But I don't mind using a tablet bc it's easier to create maps and the screen size gives great visuals while flying. I see details I can't see on a small screen.
@@Rocket510 I might have to pickup a used Air 2S with the RCN1 someday, just in case I want to do some mapping. I have the Mini 4 Pro with the RC2 (I think that's what it is called) and supposedly DJI will not be releasing SDK's anymore. Even the roof inspections with Bees360, although manual, are easier to do step by step flying with their app. Since I sold the Mini 2 and only have the Mini 4 Pro now, I have to fly those on my own from memory, then dump the photos when I get home. Previously, I would fly through their app and photos would automatically get sent to them through their app. Thanks for the video and feedback. I'm in your boat, just doing it on the side, so it's hard to make time for little side work here and there on my free weekends.
Thanks man!! Sadly, Idk of any mapping software that works with either controller. Although, it's been a while since I checked so maybe things have changed 🤷🏾♂️
I like your videos! Quick question: to do mapping, modeling or photogrammetry, do you need surveyor license? I already have my part 107, but wondering if I need something else.
No you don't need a surveyor license to do those things. Although, you can't list yourself as a surveyor on your website unless you're licensed to do so.
@@Rocket510 I get it, you can collect the actual data for another company, but you cannot listed as yours. Thank you for your quick response, I really appreciate it!!!
how do u sign in before a mission. they keep telling me that there is a sign in icon on the app. only thing i see is a purple banner that says lets sign in, but it does nothing. i cant go any further in app because i use rc2 controller to fly & not the drone deploy or pix4d app. i cant get any answers out of their fb page or support.
That sounds like an error in your app. Try a uninstall/reinstall. Are you using it on the RC2? Cuz that might not work like the iOS or Droid. Also, if you go to your mission early that banner won't show up until maybe an hour beforehand.
I did my first mission on Zeitview the other day does anyone know the general time from to get paid. Here in south Florida it’s rare for me to see any jobs pop up on the app and when I do it doesn’t seem worth the work but I was one that looked good the other day so I took it and it went smooth.
@@Rocket510 it’s the names on the emails. They all sound “Indian”. Plus they establish a new policy where you have to wait 72 hrs before initiating the payment.
@@bigbrucebikesExactly. And the worst part, accepting a mission at 6pm your time. Then somebody sends an email at 1am while you are sleeping wanting confirmation or else they have to send the mission to somebody else... and by the time you wake up, they have. It is rude and insulting. They are the worst.
Hey brother I just got offered my first Zeitview job. A roof inspection and map. I have done lots of missions for myself to practice, but there are a few things in the shot list I’m unsure of. Shingle thickness shot? It’s a rolled roof, unsure what they want here. And RRI which looks like the side shots you were talking about. It’s a commercial contained rolled roof, do they want the inside of the outer containment wall? Thanks for any advice man! Appreciate it.
Sorry for the late reply. I got offered one of those missions and I declined it. I think the shingle shot was just a close up. But I didn't understand either. It was too much work for the same price as a normal mapping job. As for the roof edge, I believe you just truck down the edge of the roof 15ft above and 20 ft away. Angle the camera down 40° and that should be good enough.
question for you, how are you flying ortho missions with a mavic mini? I mean Im assuming your flying SiteTech missions, Ortho and roof facade. how are you getting the Mini to fly the ortho missions?
@@MrRonin055 Yeah, it takes a while for DJI to release the SDK. Check the comment below (or above). Someone recommended an app that can fly the Mini 3 Pro.
Great video, just found your channel. I'm sitting here thinking out here in the boonies probably wouldn't be worth it and here you are where I live in Fairfield getting paid to fly your drone, cold have been me if I had gotten off my A and got my Part 107. A quick question, the software that laid out the roof map for the drone, is that built into the drone or software you had to buy (or Zeitview provided)?
For my drone jobs I use the DJI Air 2S, RC-N1 Controller with iPad 10. The mapping software is Dronelink. For non-job vids I use the Mini 3 Pro. I have affiliate links to all my gear in the description.
If the jobs aren’t paying enough for the amount of time your aware of the time it takes why dont you decline and ask for more money , honestly i think we need to take over the industry and start our own Drone Industry Union lets start a movement we can with drone operator knowledge we can dictate our industry prices and get ride our we can work with everyone in peace and make a fair amount of money for our knowledge and time and investment along with our community we can make a difference!!!
Does drone link automate the facades for you? Was that a 100 dollar license? I know i mentioned it before, I either accept a job and then request a better rate before flying the job. If they dont want to pay me more then it leaves me the option of saying throw the job back out to the network. They have told me they dont like to do that, but I have also had them tell me to do it that way. They are a mess and I dont really care, all the jobs i have done for them I have not had a single complaint or re shoot. Last job i did fot them they took almost 3 week to queue payment and I had about 15 emails requesting a update before i finally got a response.
Sadly, I don't think it's possible. I just use my phone when I'm making vids and flying the Mini 3 Pro. It does run on my tablet tho. Although, I only use it to check in.
Hi. Great video. Im new and just passed my exam March 4. I have temporary airman certificate, still waiting for approval from TSA/FAA. I talked to one kf the ops managers and he said i need ro get dji mav 3 enterprise with rtk module. I worked in cell tower industry so he said i would do towers. But probably not only towers? Have uou had to do it? They said the jibs they pay is 230$ a site. So dont know if he was serious or what. Plus don't know if they have jobs for full time. He Said guys make in zeitview 6k a week if they do 6-8 tower a day. Have you heard that?
They just send you the job offer. Once you accept, they send you a link for training (Onboarding). After that, you'll start getting more offers for mapping. That's when things picked up for me. And they don't get taken as fast as RE/CRE jobs. Try emailing them tho. One guy said that worked but idk. Hope that helps!
Thanks man. I’ll see if I can get into it. I get a few basic offers that get snatched up quick in my area. I’d like to move into the more technical jobs if they have them available.
That's the hard part. There's nothing you can do. 😪 You just have to wait for them to offer you a mapping job. When you accept they'll send you a link to do the training. Same goes for Panos. I mistakenly said it took a year, but in fact it was nearly 2 years before I got an offer for mapping and/or Panos.
Yo RR510. I've done about 50 jobs for Drinebase/Zeitview. I think its time to quit accepting jobs from them because they've started requiring more from you for the same pay.
Lmao!! Good point! I've heard others who do it full time say that they got burned out from doing real estate work. Mostly, bc RE agents don't want to pay much and the work is repetitive. But I like mapping so it might take a while. I just gotta get so real clients and ditch the gig work.
@@Rocket510 So you don't do too many of them? Are their lots available or so you only get one a month? Not sure where you are located but are you aware of Spexi? If you;re in Detroit, that is the only US city avaiable right now, but I've been told many more are coming.
"worth it" is all relative isn't it... This goes for most gig jobs (ie Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, whatever...) you need to do the math on it. The time it takes you to shoot and process, the mileage/wear and tear on your vehicle, communications, it all adds up...question then is, does the money you make then add up. It can make OK "fun money" but I don't see how folks could make a decent living this way. Zeitview and the likes all are depending on the churn of new 107 dreamers opting in and replacing the ones that they are burning out. Keep using them to build your skills up though...and better, build your contacts through them!
There is more to the math. Zeitview is also bad at communication, cancels on a whim, and communicates inconsistently. They say "ask if you have questions" then treat you poorly when you do. You can do everything perfectly, and they will still try to find a way to nitpick the deliverables. They have gotten worse and worse. Race to the bottom indeed.
If you want to inform people, provide numbers so people can know if it’s worth it or not for them. I have no idea what is “worth it” for you. An average pay per hour video for this types of jobs will be highly valued for people new to the industry.
You make a good point. My bad. Most of their jobs pay $70/hr, and some go for $120/hr. If nobody accepts the mission they can go as high as $200 but that's rare. So, most seasoned pilots will say it's not worth it. But it's good for a newly licensed pilot bc they're getting paid to practice.
I hear you because I was thinking seriously about getting my 107 I think it’s about time so what you’re doing is inspirational for me
My rates - Ortho Map (Up to 2000 photos) - $995 (I pay $50 for my editor to build out the map and $50/yr for each map to be hosted).
That's what I'm talking about! That's inspirational fa real! We're mos def getting robbed. Thanks for the info! That's gives me direction. #goals
And thanks for watching til the end! 👊🏾✌🏾🚀

My first job was worth it but then the money dropped significantly. Not enough work around me but i live in a rural area. Another great video.

Yes, they want a grid. But the mapping is not the problem. It's the roof inspection which is flown manually.

Most are $70/hr. I do one monthly that's $120/hr. Either way, it only takes me 20 mins. So it's not too bad.
@@Rocket510 So you don't do too many of them? Are their lots available or so you only get one a month? Not sure where you are located but are you aware of Spexi? If you;re in Detroit, that is the only US city avaiable right now, but I've been told many more are coming.
Mission details be crazy lol
Fa real doe! But once you understand it's really not too bad.
"worth it" is all relative isn't it... This goes for most gig jobs (ie Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, whatever...) you need to do the math on it. The time it takes you to shoot and process, the mileage/wear and tear on your vehicle, communications, it all adds up...question then is, does the money you make then add up. It can make OK "fun money" but I don't see how folks could make a decent living this way. Zeitview and the likes all are depending on the churn of new 107 dreamers opting in and replacing the ones that they are burning out. Keep using them to build your skills up though...and better, build your contacts through them!
That's great perspective and feedback. Thanks
How many battery you use on this job in the time it took.
I ended up using 2.5 batts and total flight time was about 1.5 hrs. I had a rain delay as well so I was on the clock for 2 hrs total.
Puts alittle money in your pocket good to.build up your profolio
That's true! But sadly, you can't use the footy in your portfolio. It becomes their assets once you submit them. 😪
There is more to the math. Zeitview is also bad at communication, cancels on a whim, and communicates inconsistently. They say "ask if you have questions" then treat you poorly when you do. You can do everything perfectly, and they will still try to find a way to nitpick the deliverables. They have gotten worse and worse. Race to the bottom indeed.
I've had good experiences with Bees360.
If you want to inform people, provide numbers so people can know if it’s worth it or not for them. I have no idea what is “worth it” for you. An average pay per hour video for this types of jobs will be highly valued for people new to the industry.
You make a good point. My bad. Most of their jobs pay $70/hr, and some go for $120/hr. If nobody accepts the mission they can go as high as $200 but that's rare. So, most seasoned pilots will say it's not worth it. But it's good for a newly licensed pilot bc they're getting paid to practice.
@@Rocket510 Thanks for the context. I might do it for a few months to learn the trade.
No prob man! Good luck! Keep me posted
