Stringr Video

There is not much to say. When you open app there is a feel already like it is not finished and something is missing. Avoid if you think you can actually make money and they will pay you. Not true. Platform operates on the way will pay out all expenses upfront to do a gig - meaning going on location uploading video, using your data plan, equipment and time. AND NOT GET PAID! Yes you can record video on the phone. If you have nothing to do and waste your time not get compensated this is app for you. Compensation is steep and is average same. It shows upfront, does not say you. ay not get paid, but there Is a button misleading you when you click because it says ACCEPT. You accept the gig, and your expenses out pf your pocket started. Stringer sit and wait you upload your footage. Not sure if they are selling this to stations or actually someone ordering this. Strange thing is if someone ordering gig it should be obligated to buy if everything is ok with footage technically, right? - wrong, you can still not get paid. Task is to do local news such as record location - shooting in the city or house on fire or water brake etc I got notification at 3AM? - you may think ok I will get my earnings, nope, so essentially if Stringer cannot sell material both of you Stringer and creator does not get paid. You get $40 for the gig on average and who knows how much is Stringer selling this for. I thought is news outlet doing this platform and myself working in industry for life price is ok. I did not expect this scam and rip off nonsense. i have 30+ years of professional experience in numerous fields and owning production companies so my work not just having price but i have people trust in my work that being said i know i can deliver footage. I did two gigs on Stringer platform - did not get paid for one. Never got reason so i send feedback as this was the only way to see if this platform has folks behind working. There were classic excuses replied but notably they said footage is excellent. wow so why I wasn’t paid? - no clue. rep told me they will ask buyer to pay me as curtesy for my first upload!? - I don’t need that, just fair and square doing business. on the other hand it just proofing my points and suspicions. Now, truth to be told ‘buyer’ who order gig did not purchase my footage for unknown reason. But i was told that buyer is allowed to do that!? - really. what about creator? Stringer is not listed as stock gallery platform! - where you ate

it would be nice if the app would let you know if anyone else has accepted the request thus saving you a wasted trip. it would be helpful too if the app would refresh the photo page after sending them i have reboot so i can add new photos.

No one should be contributing to an app that thinks this job should receive less than minimum wage. I sell video directly to news orgs and would never take less than 150 a clip- and several thousand for something exclusive and newsworthy.

My friend David put my on to the app and said it would be great practice for b-roll and etc. so far I’ve done two assignments that have been purchased. It’s definitely a great app for photographers and videographers. I’d recommend it to help legitimize your craft.

Good for amateur videographers that are looking to hone in on their craft

Thank Stringr

Excelente aplicación, buen manejo de los contenidos y rápida forma de generar ingreso

I’ve been working with Stringer for a while now. About 3 years. My videos have been purchased and I’ve even done some live streaming with them. I only wish they paid more for the extreme stuff. I don’t do the extreme stuff, because of that. Overall though, its pretty good.

This app is legit and it’s a great concept. I’ve done several projects for them and got paid the proposed rate. That said, the pay is horrendous. Most request go for $35-50. I only get ~1-5 requests per week. After taxes and travel costs a lot of the work is paid well under minimum wage. I write this review with hopes that stringr will increase pay for freelancers so this can be a legitimate way to at least make side money. In its current state and as it’s been for the four years I’ve had it, the pay is not worth it. I’ve deleted my account and app but hope to hear good things about stringr or similar services in the future.

Stay far away from these scammers.
