As a certified sUAV pilot, we are certified by the FAA to conduct drone flights for commercial purposes. Part of being certified is that we have been vetted by the Department of Homeland Security. There are many areas where drone 4K video and still imagery can be of value. Some of them are:
- Real Estate
- Roof Inspections
- Construction Progress
- General film and video photography
Some projects will require a custom quote. General guidelines are as follow:
- $250 – includes up to 2 hours onsite and up to 40 minutes of flight time. $150 for each additional hour onsite. Also included is up to 1 hour of preflight planning time. Additional preflight planning time is available at $75 per hour.
