Wouldn't it be much cheaper to use civilian versions of drones for imaging? I've seen smaller dji drones being used for imaging purposes but they're limited by payload capacity and flight duration. Currently aerial imaging orgs use small charter planes for this purpose which can be defended by the heavy payloads and larger areas to be covered but why haven't they experimented with bigger drones

So I have been asked by 2 people this week for use of my Drone to take some pictures of their house and surrounding areas.

Thing is I haven’t a clue how much to charge as I’ve never had to do private work before. It will take me somewhere around 30-45mins to do.

I have a DJI Mavic Air 2, CAA approved and have decent knowledge of all the rules and regulations.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, also any tips on what shots I should.
