Jan 13,2020I been working with DroneBase for more than two years now and since then the company has branched out and created new opportunities for pilots to make money doing what they love. I’ve been impressed by the amount of paid jobs that have come my way over the last two year. I’m looking forward to new opportunities and challenges this year.

Jan 13,2020I had to reschedule a couple times for unforeseen reasons but DB allowed me to easily reschedule without any snags. Got paid the same evening I submitted.

Jan 12,2020All jobs I have done for DroneBase have been great. I am quickly paid. The only issue I would love to see changed is higher paid jobs availability.

Jan 11,2020Pilot was in many of the pictures so I couldn't use them for my brochures.

Jan 05,2020Although I appreciate the work, i feel the rates you offer are insulting at times and dont cover the fuel needed to get there. On top of all that, u take our pennies earned and give it over to a money shark who holds on to my little pennies for a week dangling the money at a percentage if im really hungry and need MY hard earned money. Planning to stop using u in 2020 bcs of all this. If my review stops getting me business then I understand and after reading above, i will be ok.

Jan 04,2020Good communication prior mission. I would just like to have acknowledgement of photos receipt after downloading, and a message of approval or denial when a decision has been made instead of waiting for payment.

Jan 03,2020Very easy to follow instructions, overall experience with DroneBase was great. My advice to any pilot take your time, and read the instructions. If you have any questions, just ask the support team at DroneBase and they will help you.

Dec 30,2019Good to have an organization finding work in your area. Apps are friendly. Make sure to read everything in requests. Good service.

Dec 28,2019I've done more than a dozen missions with DroneBase and I can tell you from this experience: beware! They'll find any reason not to pay. They'll ask for reshoots even if you followed mission parameters. Their pricing is very poor, and while they do pay out fairly quickly, the pay is undercutting all of us pilots as a whole. They'll spam you with emails about uploading footage, etc. You'll have better luck (and better pay) going directly to clients and charging them a fair and reasonable amount. I will also add that they’ve requested missions that violate FAA guidelines, such as flying over schools, near airports, over busy intersections and so on. If you accept missions from DroneBase, make sure you are not in violation of FAA regs, since it seems they do not do their due diligence in this regard. If you've done the hard work of passing the 107, picking up a few good clients is a cinch. Flying for DroneBase cheapens our profession and will cause you many unnecessary headaches.

Dec 26,2019I think adding example pics of what is wanted was a great idea. The communication has gotten a lot better. I wish there were more missions that paid better.

Dec 24,2019The concept is fairly clear and simple. For the couple of missions I've done I was paid promptly, but I requested feedback anyway and my request was never answered.

Dec 22,2019I've done several jobs with DroneBase and have been very happy with the service. As long as you follow the instructions that they provide, they quickly issue payment. Missions requirements are clearly described and their email responses are quick. I'll continue flying with DroneBase as long as they'll have me!

Dec 18,2019When needing aerial services I would use DroneBase, it's quick and efficient. No need to use any other sites.

Dec 16,2019I requested photos of two shopping centers. The quality of the images was subpar and I did not want to include these images in our marketing packages. There were several photos with shadows, Turnaround time on one of the projects was very quick. The second project was delayed by a week.

Dec 13,2019So far it’s been awesome! Pay could be higher but I understand they are doing most of the legwork. Pay fairy promptly and jobs are explained well. Also it’s easy to get ahold of someone if I have questions. Good way to get experience.

Jan 14,2020Great concept. Poor delivery and support. App is not working for several months on latest Android platforms with no resolution or explanation. Using an older device permits access to the app but it malfunctions all the time, preventing uploading of images and video. Looks user friendly but it's not. Thankfully my mission only required ground shots. I don't trust the app enough to control my drone.
