"2nd go around with DB Zeitview"

2nd go with DB Zeitview: Same as before - too many points of contact, the points of contact seem unfamiliar with what drone flying actually is, the points of contact lack reading compression or proper English skills to understand/communicate effectively to solve seemingly simple problems.

"Absolutely useless"

Absolutely useless. I signed up with Dronebase over a year ago. Every time that I get a notification that a mission is available, the mission is already taken before I can even look at the notification. I have a better chance at getting hit by a meteorite than actually getting a mission from Dronebase.

"Total Waste of Time"

Just a total waste of time. Don't bother completing their UNPAID training, as they'll probably never call, and when they do, they'll offer you almost nothing. I deleted my account as I was ashamed to be a part of this nonsense. Additionally, customer service is non-existent (even to pilots), good luck getting your questions answered or even talking to an actual human.

"I just want to fly my drone for money, what is that problem here?"

I signed up for this opportunity thinking I could at least use my part107 and fleet of equipment for some side cash. lol. First something went wrong with signing up so I waited about a month before realizing that I was waiting on an email that no one was sending. They fixed pretty quick once I got in touch with them. Then I was told by some one who claimed to be in charge that I didn't need the high altitude shot for my test run since I can only get clearance for 100 ft where I live. That became a minor thing that was fixed once addressed. But then after all signed up they where like "oh. you equipment doesn't work with our software so you can only do certain jobs." I 'm like ok I get that. but then a month and a half later I get a notification for this one house in the Ghetto that I'm supposed to shoot and not tell the tenants, so I'm like wait a sec? someone took it. then 3 weeks later another notification but I was driving so I waited to get home to check, but by then it was taken. I sent them a Karen type email about them wasting my time. No notifications since. lol. I didn't take this app seriously because it seemed that they where not taking much seriously. Perhaps I'm wrong but it seemed more like a bad joke and as a leading format of the representation for the potential of a developing industry as well.

"These guys expect you to work for free…"

These guys expect you to work for free and complete missions at the drop of a hat! They take forever to pay their pilots. Often send you scketchy foreclosure missions with 40+ mile travel distances (One way) for only $50. Not flex-able what so ever with pilot schedules. Thanks but NO THANKS Dronebase

"Dont waist your time !"

This is the worst company to work for as a drone pilot,dont waist your time! Pay is way below scale they offer 1/4 of what the job actualy pays and if you figure in drone insurance the amount of gas(round trip) your time traveling /time on location shooting the video or pictures and time uploading, your actualy working for free or in many cases losing money. They have received so many bad reviews that they changed there name to "Zeitview" - new name same bad company.

"Pilot in Las Vegas with over 30 DB…"

Pilot in Las Vegas with over 30 DB missions. Today marks the day where I have to say goodbye. Nonpayment of services is not cool. Drone operators beware!

"Overworked and underpaid"

Overworked and underpaid.

Dronebase aims to be competitive, but they are not up front with their costs. The average paying gig is around $50. It takes about an hour to film (if you know what you're doing), 30mins to get there and back, you are not an employee, so if you wreck your drone you will take on all the legal ramifications yourself, then you have to upload the footage to their boggled down back end. All in all it works out to <$25/hr minus gas (cost of owning a vehicle), cost of your drone, batteries, SD cards, insurance, Pilots license, on and on.

Their payout rates are insulting.

When they started they paid decent until they realize they could screw pilots over for their own profits.

They've even called in emergency situations to offer $100 to capture footage for the Associated Press, which means they would have owned the copyright and made a lot of money off it.

I'm sure Dronebase pilots would unionize, but there's no community to connect with for a reason.

This company sucks.

"Great for commercial real estate use!"

Our video turned out amazing. The process was very smooth. Alex and Josh were very thorough and helpful. We will definitely be using them in the future for our commercial real estate needs.

"Frustrating overall"

Frustrating overall
Abysmal communication support.
Sought timely specific guidance for software integration…F grade
Sought clarification to gain better comprehension…F grade
Flying the drone is a breeze.
Actually delivering what they refer to as “assets” is arguably bad for mental health.
Complete waste of time.
