Drone Operator Looking for Reliable Side Gigs Between Projects

Lately, when my usual drone gigs slow down, I’ve been picking up real estate photography jobs to fill the gap. It’s not as thrilling as filming rock climbing sessions, but it pays the bills and keeps me flying. What’s your backup plan when passion work isn’t enough? I’m curious if anyone’s found creative ways to leverage their skills for steady income especially in fields like ours where work can be seasonal. Any tips or unexpected gigs you’ve stumbled into?
