If a client wants a drone, i hire it out. The client pays for it and I pass that over to a drone pilot. I do not need to make $$ off of an extra service like drone work. The client pays what the drone operator charges.
We discuss the images & video that i am looking for and need. Sometimes i use both, sometimes i just use the stills. At the end of the year, i write off those services as an expense, so i do not loose.
I personally do not want the $2k drone and the 5 - 10K headache of having it. Between classes, learning, maintaining it, license, etc, it's just easier to hire someone else to do that service for me. I'd rather spend that extra $$ on something that might improve the quality of my craft or the ease of doing it better and let someone else who loves drone work, do drone work.
I'd rather be amazing at what i do and hire others that are amazing at what they do.
