US – Droners.io is a new service enabling anyone to hire a professional drone pilot.
Although services such as Skycatch and DroneBase already exist, Droners.io is the first of its kind to target consumers rather than construction companies and property developers.
Users post a job description and receive bids from drone pilots with relevant experience before browsing reviews and portfolios to find the best person for the job.
With 550 pilots across the US, Droners.io is growing fast and plans to expand into Canada and Europe once legislation around the controversial technology has been agreed.
