Drone Mission Pricing, Real Estate Photography

Standard package is $200 for a full Aerial Photography mission, locally

Drone Mission Pricing

  • I am a commercially licensed and registered UAV Pilot. I have insurance for my drone flights. I am an experienced Aerial Photographer.

I have 3 batteries, each of which lasts 34 minutes.

  • I charge “by the battery” for my services. To exhaust all 3 batteries will cost $200. For me to “get some quick shots” I will fly until my first battery dies, that will cost $80. Adding an additional half hour will be $80, and the third is half-off, $40. I can provide drone photography services for as little as $80, my standard package being $200.

I recommend that on any shoot we use all 3 of my batteries. Total, I would fly roughly 90 minutes to capture dozens of photos. Between each battery I will review the images and be able to make immediate improvements to the shots. Using three batteries gives you two opportunities to review these photos with me immediately before I fly again, giving us a great system to be precise about the photos we truly want.

Controlled Airspace

This applies to CDA and Spokane only but there are additional considerations for me when flying in or near controlled airspace. Based on your address I will determine how our flight will be affected by controlled airspaces (usually, height cielings) or if I will need to request Airspace Authorization (which I am licensed to do). Because of these additional airspace considerations in these areas, I charge an additional $50 fee per mission in the general area of CDA and Spokane. This ensures an FAA compliant flight.
