Question 1

What if the weather is an issue the day of my scheduled flight?

Accepted Answer

No problem, we'll reschedule a different time for the flight that is convenient for both of us.

Question 2

What Is Your Turn-Around Time?

Accepted Answer

I can accommodate your schedule. I typically deliver photography 24 to 48 hours of shooting. Videos take longer depending on the scope of the project. Call me to discuss your particular needs.

Question 3

Can You Fly At My Property?

Accepted Answer

Usually. Air space restrictions are very confusing for the inexperienced. I can determine if your property has flight restrictions during the initial call. Even if there are restrictions, I can often get immediate authorizations.

Question 4

Can You Fly Near The Airport?

Accepted Answer

Often. Laws have changed and drone pilots who are not up to date don’t know the latest restrictions, which are more flexible. Even if there are restrictions, I know how to get immediate authorizations.

Question 5

What Kind Of Weather Can You Shoot In?

Accepted Answer

The weather would have to make your property look bad before I would suggest postponing the shoot. We will discuss it beforehand.

Question 6

How Long Does It Take For You To Do A Drone Shoot?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope of the project. Typically I complete most jobs within 1 - 2 hours of arrival. However, some jobs take multiple visits.

Question 7

Do You Do Progressive Or Multiple Shoots Of The Same Location?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and there are discounts on these. The initial flights typically take a higher investment and become progressively more affordable.

Question 8

Do I Need To Be On-Site For The Aerial Shoot?

Accepted Answer

No. We can discuss your particular needs so that I can deliver exactly what you want.

Question 9

Can You Capture The Entire Property In One Photo?

Accepted Answer

Usually, it depends on how large the property is. It also depends on what angle you want.
