Pilots: Show Off Your Gear in Our New "THIS IS MY DRONE SETUP" Campaign

Published on
July 8, 2025

In summary: Following the success of our "This Is My City" campaign, LayerDrone is launching a new community initiative where pilots can showcase their drone setups, share their expertise, and compete for exclusive rewards while helping build the world's most detailed aerial imagery network.

After receiving nearly 50 submissions in just 24 hours during our "This Is My City" campaign, we knew we had to bring you something even bigger.

Today, we're launching our next community campaign: "THIS IS MY DRONE SETUP"

Building on Community Success

Last month's "This Is My City" campaign showcased the incredible talent within our network of pilots. VancityMatt's stunning Vancouver shot took the grand prize, but every submission demonstrated the skill and dedication that makes LayerDrone the world's largest standardized drone network.

Now it's time to celebrate the gear that makes it all possible.

Showcase Your Equipment, Share Your Knowledge

This campaign puts the spotlight on what matters most to every pilot: your drone setup. Whether you're flying the latest sub-250g drone, a rugged workhorse, or a custom configuration, we want to see it all.

What We're Looking For

  • Your complete setup: Drones, controllers, accessories, transport cases, and even your editing workstation
  • Your expertise: Why you chose specific gear, favorite accessories, and field-tested tips
  • Your story: What makes your setup special and how it serves your missions
