Zeitview Pilot 4+

First I would like to say that the app functions as advertised. You can get bid requests for drone jobs and they do pay for them if completed as requested.

Now the company on the other hand that runs it. I don’t know about. I’ve had my time wasted on more than one occasion. Early on when I didn’t know what I was getting into I accepted a bid for a site 30 minutes from home base. After accepting it I realized that the $70 they were going to pay was not going to cover the 11 football field size buildings they wanted roof aerials and facia they wanted pictures of. After an hours there and 3 buildings done I responded that I could not get it done. I was removed from the job and not compensated for the time or pictures I did get.

More recently they gave me a site contact that no longer worked for the company. I was then denied access to the site. I’m guessing that my time won’t be paid for their mistake there either.

They also consistently ask me to do work for sites that are outside of my area. Some 100 miles away for $70.

Downloader beware. Their advertising to get drone pilots is not what it seems.

Ok I’ve been using Dronebase for about a year now. I started out just doing simple flights to grab pictures of buildings and have expanded to doing pano and ortho shots in the last month or two. You expand your knowledge and training level as you go.
The app is nice and I receive a good 4 to 6 missions I can do per month. I think it really depends on where you live. Can I live off it? No, but it’s nice learning some of the ins and outs of the drone industry.
Now they have slowed payments too.... by a lot. I used to do a job and get paid by the next week. My last job was completed by me last Tuesday, passed by Dronebase last Friday, and I won’t see payment until the Monday after this next week. So in total close to a 3 week wait for payment.
In all not a bad app for finding drone work, just don’t go thinking you’ll be able to quit your day job with it. Know what you’re getting into. They seem to only accept DJI drones and I would recommend having at least a Mavic 2, or Phantom 4 to start using this app.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with this company. They are fast to reply to any of my emails, even if it is just to ask general questions. I recently had an issue with a mission that was 50 miles away, and couldn't complete it do to complications with the management. Dronebase gave me a payment for my drive; that was definitely nice of them to do that. Also, Qwil, which is the payment system they use is fine, as long as it is set up ;) It does take a week or 2 for the money to be deposited in your bank, but you can pay a tiny fee for same day transfer; Qwil isn’t perfect, but it’s not the worse thing. I really cant wait to see what this company has coming down the line, but I will be ready! Thanks DroneBase for a great experience!!!
