Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are you FAA certified to operate drones commercially?

Yes, we are FAA Part 107 certified, which means we’re legally authorized to operate drones for commercial purposes. This certification ensures we follow all safety regulations, airspace rules, and operational standards set by the FAA. It’s important because it protects both your project and our team — reducing liability, ensuring responsible flight practices, and guaranteeing your aerial footage is captured safely and legally.

2. What kind of drone do you use for your services?

We use a DJI Mini 4 Pro, equipped with a high-quality camera capable of 4K video and detailed still imagery — perfect for a wide range of projects including inspections, promotional videos, mapping, and visual documentation. Future upgrades are planned to expand our fleet with larger, commercial-grade drones to further enhance our capabilities for bigger projects

3. Do you offer mapping services with GPS accuracy?

We provide 2D and 3D mapping, including orthophotos and plant health analysis. Please note: RTK/GPS correction is not used, and mapping accuracy is limited to standard GPS capabilities. RTK capability is planned for the future.

4. Can you assess crop or plant health with your drone?

Yes, we offer basic plant health analysis using RGB imagery from our drone. While it's not the same as NDVI or infrared-based analysis, it still provides useful visual indicators of plant stress, patchy growth, and overall health patterns. This is ideal for general monitoring, landscaping, and small-scale agricultural insights. For more advanced needs, multispectral imaging would be required.

5. What types of videos do you create?

We produce high-quality aerial videos for real estate listings, promotional content for businesses, events, and government agencies — all with professional editing included.

6. How much do your services cost?

Pricing varies depending on the project size, location, and deliverables. Please contact us for a custom quote based on your specific needs.

7. What is an orthophoto, and how can it be used?

An orthophoto is a high-resolution aerial image that's been corrected for distortion and scale — like a satellite image, but much sharper and more accurate. It can be used for property planning, land surveys, inspections, construction site monitoring, and visual documentation of large areas. Our orthophotos provide a clear, measurable view of your site from above.

8. How long does it take to receive the final media or map?

Turnaround time varies by project type — typically 5–10 business days for photos/videos, and mapping deliverables.

9. Do you offer expedited turnaround times?

Yes, expedited delivery may be available for an additional fee, depending on the project scope and our current workload. Let us know your timeline when booking so we can accommodate your needs.

10. How far will you travel for a project?

We primarily serve northwest Pennsylvania but are open to traveling for larger projects. Travel fees may apply outside our local service area.

11. Can you shoot indoor drone footage?

While most of our work is outdoors, we can assess indoor environments for safe drone operation on a case-by-case basis.
