Drones are a commodity product where economies of scale have brought prices way down while capabilities have gone way up.

Airships won’t scale like that. You don’t have the benefit of tons of media companies buying airships to use as camera platforms.

Client should pay at least 3x times as much to get the same service from drones. Again, it's not scalable using drones that's why our clients keep using helicopter on 90% of their missions.
And in ten years when drones are 5 times as capable and cost half?
