General Questions
We appreciate when clients provide us with a one-week notice prior to a photoshoot. However, it is not uncommon for us to be faced with constraints that limit the time available for such assistance. We are more than willing to expedite our services should you require our help sooner. Rest assured, we are capable of delivering edited still photographs within 24 hours after the conclusion of the photoshoot.
For the majority of projects, we guarantee the delivery of edited digital photographs to you via Google Drive within a 24-hour period after the completion of the shoot. Should your project necessitate further post-processing tasks such as mapping, video editing, or image stitching, the delivery timeframe may extend to several days. An email will be dispatched to you, incorporating a link to your online photo gallery, enabling you to download all the files to your local device. Should you require physical copies, we are also prepared to provide them on a thumbdrive at your request.
You are invited to join us if you feel it will be beneficial, but it is usually not required for you to be there during the shoot. Our pilots are skilled experts who can take excellent pictures in most situations. Please be aware that scheduling dates may be delayed if you choose to participate in the shoot because many parties will need to be contacted. Before we schedule the job, we will send you our project intake form. You can fully specify your preferences, ambitions, and aspirations on this form. The majority of our clientele choose phone calls or internet chats.
This is dependent on your personal preferences and the goals you are attempting to achieve. Because there is a lot of sunlight and just enough clouds in the sky to show texture in the photos, many professionals prefer partly cloudy weather for marketing photos.
The feasibility of flying near airports can vary. Certain areas may be off-limits or have height restrictions, but with the proper legal authorization, we can typically fly close to or directly at most airports. If you have any questions about the viability of a specific location, please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or email - we'd be happy to assist you.
Costs vary depending on the type of service, drone equipment used, and the scope of the project. For example, aerial photography might be priced per hour or per project, while large-scale surveying or inspection services might be more expensive due to the complexity and duration.
technical & legal Questions
Drones can capture a variety of data, including high-resolution images, video footage, 3D models, thermal and multispectral imagery, and more. The specific data collected depends on the type of drone and the sensors equipped.
Limitations include weather conditions (e.g., strong winds, rain), battery life, and payload capacity. Additionally, drones have limited range and might face regulatory restrictions depending on the location.
Indeed, reputable drone service providers are required to employ FAA-licensed and certified operators. In numerous locales, these operators are mandated to comply with specific regulations and secure certifications, such as the FAA Part 107 certification within the United States. Utilizing the services of a Non-Licensed Drone Pilot constitutes a violation of the law. While Non-Licensed pilots may possess considerable expertise, they expose themselves to the potential ramifications of severe local and federal penalties, which could result in fines amounting to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars. Furthermore, businesses that engage in the services of Non-Licensed pilots are also at risk of facing penalties and fines.
The feasibility of this approach largely hinges on the specific requirements of your project and the dimensions of the property in question. Our pilots are authorized to operate at altitudes ranging from 400 feet in the majority of locales. A prudent guideline to consider is that a single, nadir (directly downward) perspective shot from 400 feet is capable of encompassing approximately 20 acres of territory.
Should your project necessitates oblique (angled) perspective shots, the scope of the captured imagery may extend significantly wider, as the camera's angle is directed towards the horizon.
Image Stitching and Orthomosaics
For projects that demand nadir perspective shots of sites exceeding 20 acres, we are equipped to assist. This process is akin to the methodology employed in capturing panoramic images. Our pilot will take a series of high-resolution photographs with a deliberate overlap. Subsequently, image stitching software is utilized to amalgamate these images into a singular, expansive, and high-resolution output that encompasses properties of various shapes and sizes.
For further information, we encourage you to review the accompanying post and video, which are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the visual quality and diversity achievable at altitudes up to 400 feet.
It is certainly feasible to share a single photograph or video with you; however, for the majority of projects, the number of images does not impact the cost. We generally recommend that clients review all the photographs we capture and select the ones they believe are most suitable. Communicating the exact dimensions, angles, and distances of desired shots verbally can be difficult, thus we prefer to capture as many photographs and videos as reasonably possible to ensure an adequate variety that meets your desired photo requirements.
Flight times vary based on the drone model and payload but generally range from 20 to 40 minutes per battery.
technical & legal Questions
Data handling practices vary, but reputable companies ensure data is stored securely and used only for the intended purpose. You should ask about their data protection policies.
Drone real estate services involve using drones to capture high-quality aerial photos and videos of properties, providing a unique perspective for listings, virtual tours, and marketing materials.

Yes, you can specify your desired shots and angles beforehand. Be sure to discuss your requirements with the provider to ensure they can meet your expectations.
Additional editing or special effects can often be arranged. Discuss your needs with the provider to determine if they offer these services and any associated costs.
The drone operator conducts pre-flight safety checks, follows safety protocols, and adheres to no-fly zones to ensure a safe and smooth operation.
