The jurys out but so far..

Updated 02/01/2024
Two months in and still haven't recieved the membership pack that apparently you get as a new member. Aside from that whilst the facebook group has some useful information shared on it and a means for others to whitelabel work I'm really struggling to see the value of dronesaferegister..

Joined a few weeks ago but so far the impression I've got is..
1. Year on year stats provided on the system suggest an ever diminishing number of quotes being provided by the system
2. Aside from the website there is little other promotion done, ie. trade shows etc ( I asked the question but never got a response)
3. Uploaded content to the site. I would have at least expected it to have some views even if it wasn't being purchased so suggestive that there is actually a very low amount of traffic on the website
4. Took a while and some chasing just to get added to the private facebook group
5. Comments from other members suggests it might be worth joining if you intend to use the discounts on new purchases but don't hold your breath for lots of work

So lets see how this goes over the coming months but will update review again in a few months so could go either way..

Best guys in the industry

Best guys in the industry! They were so polite and welcoming. Helped me find the best drone for my specific needs and also got some extras at a discounted price. Can’t thank them enough!

Expensive until you see the results

I've been operating my business 'The Drone Detective' since November 2021 and created my page on Drone Safe Register that month. Originally only paying month by month, to see what results I got from their quotation system and for recognition of the business. Yes, it's not a legal requirement but, like 'Check a Trade' where else can members of the public look for CAA accredited pilots? On reflection, launching in the winter when flying days are limited had its limitations. The membership also gave me access to their private FaceBook page where I read about (and talk with) other pilots who are working in the business, picking up hints, encouragement and sometimes work. So far I've had two quotation requests - one successful (which to put it in context has paid for my now yearly membership) plus contact from another member who has helped me with precision flying - so well worthwhile, so far. Now it's up to me.

Complete waste of money

Shows absolutely no purpose. You're better off spending money on SEO & Website development than paying for Drone Safe. Complete waste of money

Hi David, I am so sorry that you feel like our company is a complete waste of money and shows no absolutely no purpose.

Drone Safe Register Ltd. is not just a platform for SEO, although we have proven to boost member's websites by being on our platform.

We invest heavily every year into Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, National Contracts and our own SEO to improve our member's SEO. We have over a quarter of a million back links on our website and a high domain authority so if you have a backlink from our website to yours, your website is likely to be boosted and show higher in search results than it would without the link.

Our prices are very reasonable for all of the benefits you get. If you pay for the year its £16.58 + VAT a month as a company for you to enjoy DJI Discounts, DJI Repairs, Improved SEO, Brand recognition from being on a trusted network, the ability to get instant quotes, White Label job opportunities and access to the most professional Drone Operator Networking Group in the U.K where jobs are offered daily in the U.K.
If you were active in the group, I can guarantee you would have paid for your membership and more by networking with other pilots. DSR is like anything in life, what you put in is what you get out of it.

If you are still in the industry and would like to give us another go with some help from our membership manager Harrison who can get you the most out of your profile, please contact us at info@dronesaferegister.org.uk

After much research

After much research, I am shocked to discover this is basically a load of BS - its just an advertising platform and nothing else. Drone Safe Register is a name that means nothing. People need to know this is not official if any way and means nothing legally. You don't need this.

Hi Richard, firstly I am super sorry that you feel this way about our company.

We are not just an advertising platform and we try our best to offer value to our paying members. We are not an official platform and we are not a legal organisation either, however what we are is a network of trusted pilots who are required to have insurance and either an A2 or Operational Authorisation.

We also offer many benefits to our members and job leads, every year hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of jobs come through our network and are distributed fairly via our Instant Quote system, or you get chosen by a client on the map due to the traffic of our busy website.

Members of DSR also have the ability to advertise that they are a Drone Safe member and you are more likely to be hired if you are a member of DSR as it gives your company trustworthiness to clients. Many large companies have used DSR before and are aware of us.

We also offer discounts on DJI, (We have saved members thousands over the years), discounts on drone repairs, access to the best Drone Pilot Network Group in the U.K, White Label job opportunities, major SEO boosts to your website to ensure you rank higher than your competitors who are not with Drone Safe Register Ltd.

I am sorry that you did not have a good experience with us but we would like to get in contact with you to see if you are still in the industry and would like to give us another go. Please get in touch on info@dronesaferegister.org.uk

Offers no value to its pilots/members

Offers no value to its pilots, all the 'leads' generated go to a select small group of members that appear to be friends with the owners.

Hi Ryan,

Firstly we’d like to apologise that you feel this way about our platform. As a company, we don’t believe this is a fair reflection of what we offer. All jobs that come through our network are put through our instant quote system which fairly distributes the job out to the four nearest operators to where that job came in.

There are many benefits and value that we offer our professional pilots and members. For example, you get discount on DJI products, discount on drone repair, SEO boosts to rank your personal website higher than competitors, high ranking DSR profile with your contact details on it for everyone on our busy website to see and access to our private networking group filled with the best operators in the U.K most of which have been with us from the very start and can see the value that we offer. This is not a fair review that jobs go to the select few that are friends with the owner because all jobs are fairly distributed through our Instant Quote System.

Please contact us on info@dronesaferegister.org.uk if you'd like to discuss this further. Sorry once again, I hope we can resolve this for you. - Drone Safe Register

Great community for networking, advice and help

***I am reposting this review*** as it was removed for supposedly violating TrustPilot rules ... but no explanation as to what rules were violated !

Great community for networking, technical advice and useful (free) seminars
I have been a member of DSR for a number of years now and whilst I have not had a massive number of leads, I have been able to use their branding to raise the profile of my own website and social media channels. I have also found the DSR community to be one the friendliest and most helpful Drone/UAV communities around. There are also various discount schemes available to members, so I have no problem recommending DSR

A fantastic drone op network

I joined Drone Safe Register in 2017 and it's been an incredibly useful resource which has had a really positive impact on our business and how we operate. Our DSR membership has generated leads across various sectors, which in turn have led to new client relationships, further work and being able to work on some very interesting projects.

We’ve worked alongside and assisted other DSR operators with jobs and tasks across the UK, we’ve also been able to call upon the DSR network when we’ve been in need of additional resource, information or advice. The everyday access to a fantastic network of other drone operators, with their friendly advice and in-depth information of all manner of things drone related (or not!) is superb. Very much looking forward to continuing with DSR!

I joined DSR when it first launched

I joined DSR when it first launched - a while ago now. It has moved forward over the years with greater reach and excellent service to a growing number of commercial drone pilots.
The wealth and depth of its members knowledge base make it invaluable as a resource for advice and guidance - especially so if operating in ‘new’ areas of the country.

Drone Safe Register - The Number One Drone Hire Services company in the UK!

Our business Impact Aerial Ltd has been a member of Drone Safe Register for three years and it has always been a fantastic business opportunity for our team of drone pilots.
Thanks to DSR we have had Drone jobs worth thousands of pounds every year, making the membership fee superb value for money and a great return on the investment.
The DSR community is also a great source for professional networking and a brilliant resource for commercial drone operators to discuss projects and opportunities within a very knowledgeable community of like minded drone professionals.
Mark is very approachable and always available for a conversation on the phone at any time. Since the lockdown this year in 2020, the business landscape has been a challenging marketplace, but as members of DSR we have had more work and leads from DSR this year than any previous year, and have completed 6 jobs for DSR in August alone.
It’s our great pleasure to be a member of Drone Safe Register, and we would recommend them to anyone who is looking to hire a professional drone operator or for an existing drone operator to join DSR that will help them grow commercially and further their professional development too.

DSR community help and advice is worth…

DSR community help and advice is worth the membership alone. To receive business enquires and sell stock footage with zero commission is exceptional and unparalleled. Last year I bought DSR shirts and jumpers that I wear to every job. I notice customers reading the logo and I feel it gives them a confidence in my professionalism.

Nothing but good things to say about DSR. Some of the most genuine, professional and reliable operators are members.
Great network for advice, help and collaborations. I have worked with many ops on several projects.I have received numerous jobs which more than pay for the subscription.
