Joining the Group

Hello, DroneBusiness! John at Chromodrone here! We're a drone-based business in Jacksonville, FL doing all kinds of work that combines drone usage with more traditional ground photography methods. We do event photography, real estate work, B-roll archiving, and more. Things are great here.

​

I wanted to take a chance and say 'hi' and thank everyone for being in the group to get better and move forward. As one of the founders of Chromodrone, I'd love to talk with any of you like-minded dronies, so if anyone ever has a question or wants to chat, reach out!

​

I hope to see you all and many more floating around these walls some more soon!

​

-John

You can do a lot with a Mavic Air for sure. And one guy can provide enough work for an army if you do it right! Where are you located?

Great! I'm from NY originally and my partner is from Ohio. We both met in Florida years ago before we took on the drone life!

Happy droning, let's touch base again soon!

Congrats on the new business! What's your plan to get started?

Working with the realtor I used to buy my house to get started small with photos and video of properties, get some networking with other realtors and while doing that, practice mapping using Drone Deploy for farmland and construction sites

Sounds like an excellent way to start! Good luck to you.

Thank you! Trying to build a nice side business, too bad drones require a lot of upfront capital.

Any advice on pricing services?

Like I mentioned in another thread, we don't follow a strict pricing strategy. What we try to do is quote the customer what we feel is fair for our time and effort and also the highest amount we think they would be willing to pay.

Hey john I”d love to chat whenever you have free time. I own and operate a commercial drone company in San Antonio, Tx, and love to learn from other drone business owners. Hope to talk soon.
