The AirBnb angle is completely misleading. It seems for a marketplace like this to momentum you need talented drone pilots as quickly as possible. Currently the quality of the sample footage is terrible e.g. 2 out of the 4 videos look like they have had no color correction done and the drone is very jerky.

We've currently on-boarded almost 400 pilots in the last 10 days. The FAA has also began issuing 333 exemptions at a faster rate. To date there is now ~1100 exempt pilots that able to commercially operate a UAV, earlier in the year there were only around 100.

Regarding video quality, there is a wide range of pilots, giving clients a wide range of services for the price.
