Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring a drone photographer on ProShoot.

Do all ProShoot drone pilots have FAA certification? +

Yes — FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification is a mandatory requirement for all drone operators on ProShoot. Pilots must upload their certificate during registration and renew it every 24 months per FAA requirements. We verify each certification before allowing pilots to accept bids. Commercial drone flight without Part 107 certification is illegal, and ProShoot has zero tolerance for uncertified operators.

What happens if weather cancels my drone shoot? +

Drone pilots on ProShoot monitor weather conditions before every flight. If conditions are unsafe (high winds, rain, low visibility), your pilot will contact you to reschedule. ProShoot's cancellation policy protects your deposit in weather-related postponements — you won't lose funds if the flight needs to be rescheduled due to FAA or safety constraints.

Can drone photographers fly near airports or in restricted airspace? +

Experienced ProShoot drone pilots can obtain LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorizations for controlled airspace around airports when required. Simply mention your location when posting — pilots who bid on your job will confirm they can legally fly in your specific area. Some heavily restricted locations (stadiums, military bases) cannot be serviced by any drone operator.

What drone equipment do ProShoot pilots use? +

ProShoot pilots commonly fly DJI Mavic 3, DJI Air 3, and DJI Inspire 2 platforms with Hasselblad or L-mount cameras capable of shooting RAW stills and 4K/6K video. Equipment specs are listed on each pilot's profile. If you have specific resolution or sensor requirements, you can filter bids by equipment or ask pilots directly in the messaging system.
