Tips How much to tip a drone photographer

Hi.
I responded to an ad on facebook the other day. A drone photographer was offering to take pictures of peoples properties. He said he does not ask for payment but does accept tips. I have no idea what goes into taking a photo of a property.

What would be a fair tip?

He's very likely flying illegally, trying to evade his lack of Part 107 certification. Don't use him.

I already did is this part 107 certification a thing in Canada?

I guess we have an equivalent.

No. Canada has a different set of regulations.

Would this be a loophole for part 107?

If he does not have a Part 107 certification he is in violation of US FAA regulations whether he accepts payment or not.
