I was wondering how many folks have a business using Solo that actually makes money?
Tell us about it- where your at, what you do, etc.

Awesome! If you can cover your costs, then technically you're making some money.I make parts for Solo. Making Money is a different issue. I cover my costs and it keeps me busy. I am a Retired engineer. www.impconcepts.com
Thanks Emilio! How do you advertise your services?I have four solos and I do aerial photography I have one solo that I use mostly with a non fisheye GoPro lens. I have another one with modded Motors and GPS and the relish cable that I use for following cars or anything fast I've even taking it up to 70 miles an hour. And then I have another solo with no gimbal that I use for survey which I am going to make a gimbal for it to carry the GoPro 5. Going to have a fourth solo which I am taking apart and putting all the internals inside of a heavy lift quad which will carry a DSLR. I'm trying to get every little dollar out of this 3dr drones that I have been buying for the past year. If they were all the original price I would say that I'm just hitting my money back but since now they have lowered and price I have probably made my money back 5 times fold
Wow Frank- I knew you were into that but I had no idea how popular they were.i assemble accessory bay boards for solo. they sell like hot cakes. i can't keep any in stock and i have to order from osh park damn near every two weeks to fulfill orders. lots of gov and edu clients. i also sell other accessories to interface solo with other devices like the sequoia, red edge and flir vue.
aside from selling things, i use one of my solos for mapping. i have another dedicated for aerial photography. i make money on both. i also make money renting the a/p one out.
i'm in washington dc.

Nice! What camera do you use for the ground shots?I use Solo to do real estate shoots. It takes me roughly a minute and a half of airtime to get the aerial shots. I then do the ground shots as well and for a package of 15 to 25 photos(# changes with listing requirements). I am pretty excited about the HDR function of Solex for this but have yet to get it to work in Solex. I wish he would post instructions with his updates for that app. Considering how little time it takes to get pictures the short flight time of solo doesn't bother me much and the smart shots make it very quick and easy.
