3. Consider inspection services and aerial surveillance
Having received UAV pilot training needn’t limit you to photography only – you can also offer inspection services to clients, such as those in the construction industry who need “eyes” on every facet of their projects, or even owners of ranch properties and farms in Canada who need an aerial view of their properties surveillance or other reasons.
