Clifford Cox
Texas, United States
My main focus is mapping and critical infrastructure surveying. I fly both a mavic 3 enterprise ( mapping and videography) and a matrice 4T thermal drone. I'm always looking to meet new people to get jobs done. And to make sure that the customer/client that I am working with gets exactly what they are looking for. I'm pretty easy going and I do not mind the travel. I have over 7 years of experience with real-estate, power line, mapping and construction site surveying and much more.

Jeremy
Texas, United States
I’m Jeremy, a certified Part 107 aerial operator based in Spring, Texas. I specialize in delivering clear, accurate, and high‑quality aerial data for real estate, roof inspections, insurance claims, and property marketing. With a background in collections, accounting and operations, I bring a detail‑driven, business‑minded approach to every project. I have owned Aerial Depictions & Recordings for over 3 years now. I enjoy creating images and discovering views from an aerial perspective. To me, these are more than just images - they are Aerial Depictions. Capturing life's moments and movements you will never see from the ground.

Samuel Flah
Texas, United States
My name is Samuel, and I’m an FAA Part 107-certified drone pilot based in the McKinney, Texas area, with more than 2 years of professional drone experience supporting wind turbine blade inspections. I also bring 8 years of experience in the wind energy industry, including 6 years specializing in composite blade inspection and repair, crew leadership, safety oversight, and field operations. My UAS experience includes conducting detailed external blade inspections using professional DJI platforms, as well as manual visual inspections. I understand the importance of capturing clear, consistent imagery while working safely and efficiently around large infrastructure. I’m currently expanding my drone services into mapping, construction, roofing, solar, infrastructure, and property inspections. I’m dependable, safety-focused, detail-oriented, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a professional field team. I’m looking forward to using my aviation and wind-industry experience to provide accurate, reliable drone data and inspection imagery for Skylog projects.

What it costs to hire a drone pilot in Texas
There is no single rate. A short real-estate shoot, a single roof, and a multi-day mapping run are three different jobs with three different prices, and pilots price on flight time, travel, how much editing you want and what deliverables you need back.
The practical way to find the number is to post the job with a budget range you are comfortable with — pilots either work inside it or tell you why the work costs more. Posting costs nothing and you are free to walk away from every price you get.
What to put in your brief
The prices you get back are only as accurate as the brief you write. Four things do most of the work:
- The site — what it is and roughly where.
- The deliverable — stills, video, a report, a map file, and in which format.
- The date — when you need it back.
- Anything that constrains the flight — a controlled-airspace address near an airport, a site that needs a permit, a tenant who has to be told first.
Pilots in Texas will tell you up front if a site needs an FAA authorisation and how long that usually takes.
FAQ
Hiring a drone pilot in Texas
How do I hire a drone pilot in Texas?
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 a price; you pick one. Posting is free and you are not obliged to hire anyone.
What does it cost to post a job?
Nothing. Posting a job and hearing back from pilots 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.
Are these pilots licensed to fly commercially in Texas?
Commercial drone work in the US requires an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate. 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.
How soon will I hear back?
It depends on how many pilots cover your area and how specific the job is. There is no guaranteed turnaround — replies arrive in your account as pilots send them, and you can message any pilot with follow-up questions before deciding.
What kind of drone work can I post?
Aerial photography and video, real estate shoots, roof and asset inspections, construction progress, mapping and survey work, events, weddings, film and TV, and agricultural work. If it does not fit a category, post it as other work and describe it.
