FAQ
Events drone work in Los Angeles
How much does a drone pilot cost in Los Angeles?
Among the 3 pilots covering Los Angeles who publish a day rate, most sit between $200 and $1,500 per day, with a median of $1,400. Hourly rates run $50 to $250. What you pay depends on the deliverable — a single listing shoot sits at the bottom of that range, a mapping run with GIS exports at the top. SkyLog takes no commission, so the quote you accept is the price you pay.
How do I hire a drone pilot in Los Angeles?
Post the job on SkyLog with what you need flown, roughly where, and when. It goes on the public job board every pilot can see, and pilots whose service area and job types match are emailed about it. They send you quotes; you pick one. Posting is free and you are not obliged to hire anyone.
Which parts of Los Angeles do these pilots cover?
The 3 pilots on this page state a service area within 75 miles of Los Angeles, which covers Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Burbank and Anaheim. Each profile shows that pilot's own base and travel radius, so you can check yours is inside it before you post.
Do I need a Part 107 pilot in California?
Yes. Any drone flight for commercial purposes in the US requires the pilot to hold an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and California adds no separate state licence. Pilots list their certifications on their SkyLog profile, and you can ask any pilot for their certificate number before you hire — as with any contractor, verifying credentials is worth doing yourself.
What does it cost to post a job or get quotes?
Nothing. Posting a job and receiving quotes is free, and SkyLog takes no commission and adds no markup — you pay the pilot you hire, at the price the two of you agree.
