Today, we talk about drone rentals.  Renting equipment can be a cost-effective alternative to buying one, particularly in cases where you'll only be using it for a few jobs.

Kevin from NJ calls in with a question about this very situation.  Does it makes sense to purchase a thermal camera if he only has one or two jobs lined up?  Considering the cost of a thermal camera, probably not!

Luckily, there are a number of drone rental services.  Certain companies will allow you to rent drone equipment so you can get work done without spending a ton of money.  Looking for a drone rental service?  Tune in to find out where you can find one!

Don't forget to enter the Drone U Giveaway.  One lucky person is going to receive a Mavic Pro!
