From real estate listings to roof inspections to crop scouting, we connect you with licensed pilots across a wide range of industries.
Droners.io works across almost any industry that uses aerial photos, video and inspections. If a licensed pilot can capture it, chances are you can hire for it here.
The sections below cover the industries clients hire for most.
Your project may span more than one: a construction shoot, for example, might also need mapping.
Real Estate
Real estate is the most common reason clients post a job. You can hire a pilot to shoot aerial photos and video that make a listing stand out.
That includes:
Residential listings
Commercial properties
Property marketing
Construction
Construction teams use drones to track progress over time. You get a consistent record without pulling anyone off the job.
Common uses include:
Progress monitoring
Site documentation
Stakeholder updates
Inspections
Inspections are one of the most valuable uses of a drone. A pilot can safely reach places that are risky to check on foot. A drone gets close to the problem while your team stays on the ground
Roof inspections: spot damage without a ladder or harness
Infrastructure: bridges, towers, and hard-to-access structures
Solar: panel arrays checked quickly across a large footprint
Agriculture
Farmers and agronomists use aerial views to manage land at scale. You can scan hundreds of acres in a single flight.
Typical projects cover:
Crop health
Field mapping
Seasonal assessments
Surveying and Mapping
Need measurable data, not just pretty pictures? Pilots can capture the imagery behind maps, models and volume calculations.
This work often includes:
Topographic maps
Orthomosaics
Volumetrics
Insurance
Insurance teams use drones to document property and process claims faster. You get clear evidence without sending an adjuster onto a damaged roof.
Claim documentation
Pre- and post-event records
Risk assessment
Weddings and Events
Not every job is commercial. Clients also hire pilots to capture weddings, celebrations and large gatherings from the air.
Weddings
Events
Highlight video
Film and Media
Filmmakers and content teams use drones for shots that would otherwise need a crane or helicopter. You can hire a pilot for a single scene or a full production.
Don't See Your Industry?
This list covers the most common work, but it isn't the whole picture. If you need aerial photos, video, inspections or data for something else, our pilot can likely handle it.
The best way to find out is to post your job and describe what you need. Local licensed pilots will let you know if it's a fit.
