Why should you hire a professional Drone Photographer?
Time! Yours and your clients. Time is your most valuable asset, spend it doing what you do best, marketing your property and showing it to other clients.

Licensing: Professional Drone Photographers must hold a FAA Part 107 certification in order to fly commercially. If not licensed properly, a Drone operator can face fines of up to $30,000 This certification assures that the pilot is knowledgeable regarding all FAA rules and regulations regarding unmanned aerial vehicle operation (drones) and safety practices.

Insurance: Professional Drone Photographers should carry liability insurance. You should make sure the company you are dealing with has an adequate Drone Liability Insurance Policy that covers damage to property and personal injury. In the event of an accident, it is very common for legal action to be taken not just against the Drone Company but also the client of the Drone Company. We hold a $1,000,000 liability policy in place to protect your property and others through Skywatch one of the nation’s largest drone insurers.

FAA Rules and Regulations: Drones cannot be flown for commercial purposes in controlled airspace without prior approval from the FAA. Period. Doing so will negate the pilot’s insurance coverage and put both them and their client at legal risk. What is controlled airspace? In general, you cannot fly a drone for commercial purposes within 5 miles of most airports without FAA authorization for that specific location. A pilot cannot get a “blanket” authorization to fly anywhere they like within a large area that is within 5 miles of an airport. There are also many other rules such as no flying over moving vehicles, flying over people that are not part of the job-site personnel, and flying at night. These all require an FAA Waiver.
