Webinar 03.02 SkySnap: What drone to buy for professional tasks in 2026? Skysnap + Megadrone

In the next meeting of the How to Make Money with a Drone series, we will show how to approach the selection of a drone for professional work in a structured and businesslike manner: from what services you want to provide (photogrammetry, inspections, construction monitoring), to the key parameters of the equipment and typical trade-offs, to the entry strategy (buy vs rent vs used equipment).

In the second part, we’ll touch on financing and funding: how to realistically prepare to raise funds to purchase equipment, what to watch out for in the process, and how to combine the training path with the purchasing decision.

The episode’s guest will be Alan Buss (Megadron) – head of sales– who will show how equipment selection looks “from market practice” and answer participants’ questions.

The webinar is for UAV operators, drone companies, and those planning to get into drone services (including at the “first professional kit” stage), especially if:

• You want to select a drone for specific orders and avoid costly purchasing mistakes,
• You are considering buying, renting or used equipment and want to know the implications of each path,
• You are interested in financing/subsidizing the purchase and practical formal requirements.

• How to choose a drone for photogrammetry, inspection and construction monitoring – which parameters actually translate into data quality and work efficiency.
• How to avoid typical pitfalls: “too much kit to start”, “hardware not under workflow”, “no data monetization plan”.
• How to count the cost of entry (TCO): drone + batteries/accessories + software + service – and what is most often left out of the budget.
• How to approach financing and funding: what are sensible scenarios, how to prepare a purchase justification and how to align the process with the service launch plan.
• Q&A: selecting equipment for your applications and questions about financing.

• Alan Buss (Megadron) – special guest.
• Tomasz Odrobinski (SkySnap) – CGO – Head of SkySnap Development
• Webinar organized as part of SkySnap’s educational initiatives (format as in previous episodes of the series).
