Levi Hinds, better known across Trinidad and Tobago as DroneGuyTT, didn't set out to become one of the the Caribbean's most recognized FPV drone pilot. He wanted to be a commercial pilot, couldn't afford it, and found FPV instead, crashing his first drone before it even cleared the yard. A decade later he's flown Shal Marshall music videos, Tobago's Hill Climb, and enough Carnival trucks to lose count.
In this episode, Levi and Alan get into the real cost of building an FPV business in Trinidad: the $8,000-to-$15,000 TT buy-in, the client conversation that taught Levi to finally charge his worth, and the Carnival photo that went viral and got blamed on the wrong pilot.
Tune in to discover what it takes to turn FPV from a hobby into a career, and why Levi says "try to be you" might be the best advice he can give.
