What people book in New York

Drone pilots in New York — questions

How fast can I book a drone pilot in New York?

Straight away. A creator who is online and accepts instant bookings can be booked to start now — you'll see their live distance and travel time before you confirm. Anyone else you can schedule from two hours ahead.

How much does a drone shoot cost in New York?

Creators set their own price and it's shown before you contact anyone. Most list a flat price per job; some charge by the hour. There's no quote process either way, and a flat service fee is added on top at checkout so the creator's price is the price they keep.

What if I need to book weeks in advance?

You can schedule a shoot up to three months ahead. The creator confirms the slot and it's locked into their availability calendar.

When does the creator get paid?

Payment is held until the files are delivered in the app and you approve them. If something's wrong, it's sorted before any money moves.
