It depends. Although it is true there are some locations and areas that are either off-limits or have additional height restrictions, we can fly near, or even at, most airports if we can obtain the necessary legal permission. 

If you are unsure of the viability of a particular location, shoot us an email or give us a call. We’re happy to help take a look!

Yes of course! We offer free rescheduling in case of inclement weather.

This largely depends on the nature of your project and the size of the property. Our pilots can legally fly at heights of up to 400 feet in most locations. A good rule of thumb is to assume the drone can capture about 20 acres in a single, nadir (camera pointing directly down), shot from 400 feet.

If you are not looking for nadir shots, and would instead prefer oblique shots (captured at an angle), the imagery can include a much wider territory as the camera will be pointing out into the horizon.

Image Stitching and Orthomosaics

If you require nadir (camera pointing directly down) shots of a site that is larger than 20 acres, we can still help! We capture these photos with a similar approach to that we would take when shooting panoramas. Our pilot would capture multiple high-resolution shots with a particular overlap. We would then use image stitching software to combine the images into a single large and high-quality image that covers properties of all shapes and sizes.

A RAW photo is an image produced by all of the raw data from the camera sensor. The image is large and minimally processed and is ideal for professional editing within applications like Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo. DJI drones save RAW images as DNG files.
