Frequently Asked Questions

  • We follow all FAA guidelines and fly 400 feet (121 meters) or below for aerial photography. In certain locations, additional airspace restrictions may require that we fly lower. On rare occasions, we may need to cancel the shoot if drones are not permitted in an area.

    Restricted airspaces can include:

    • Sports stadiums

    • Airports

    • Special use airspaces

    • Security-sensitive airspaces

    Please be aware that we are also not typically permitted to fly our drones over certain areas such as sate parks.

  • The FAA allows us to fly our drone in areas that are not restricted by local, state, or federal regulations. However, we may not be able to fly at your location due to temporary airspace rules or many hazards like trees and power lines.

    We always perform a thorough check of the site before flying our drones to ensure the safety of our equipment, as well as the safety of the people and buildings in the surrounding area.

  • We fly the DJI Air 3 and the DJI Avata 2.

  • Absolutely! However, please keep in mind that if the space is too small to fly indoors, we may opt to not fly for safety reasons.

  • Up to 40 minutes per battery for the standard drone and approximately 12-15 minutes for our FPV drone. We typically keep 3-4 batteries on hand for standard projects. Our batteries can be fully charged in just over an hour and we utilize a DJI Power 500 portable power station to charge on site.

  • Our drones are not waterproof and therefore cannot be flown in the rain. If wind gusts are over 25mph, we typically will not fly. Our FPV drone is more sensitive to wind and typically will not be flown with gusts over 15mph.
