Drone Services: Find a Drone Pilot for Your Project
A drone service is a job done by a professional drone pilot for a client: aerial photos and video, a roof or building inspection, a map of a job site, progress shots of a construction project.
The pilot brings the drone, the know-how and the insurance, and delivers a result: images, a report, a map.
Drone pilots work on their own or as part of drone companies. Finding one near you, checking their work and comparing quotes takes time: that's what we do for you. Describe your project, we contact pilots available in your area, and we get back to you within 2 business days with up to 3 quotes.
Our team reads every request and matches it by hand with pilots who fit the job and the location.
Drone services
Drone photography and video
Drone photography shows what the ground can't: a home with its whole lot, a venue and its surroundings, a construction site from above, a stretch of coastline at sunrise.
Drone mapping and surveying
A drone survey turns hundreds of overlapping aerial photos into an accurate, measurable picture of a site: a map you can zoom into, a terrain model, a 3D model or a stockpile volume.
Drone inspection
A drone inspection gets a close, detailed look at places that are hard, slow or risky to reach: a steep roof, a three-story facade, a row of solar panels, a cell tower or a wind turbine.
Thermal drone services and deer recovery
A thermal drone carries an infrared camera that sees heat instead of light.
Real estate drone photography
Buyers decide from the photos whether a home is worth a visit.
Drone window cleaning and pressure washing
A cleaning drone washes the parts of a building that are hard to reach: upper-floor windows, tall facades, steep roofs and rooftop solar panels.
Agricultural drone services
Agricultural drone services bring a spray drone or a mapping drone to your fields.
Drone light shows
A drone light show is a fleet of small drones, each carrying a bright LED light, flying in sync to draw shapes, logos, words and moving 3D scenes in the night sky.
Drone wedding photography
A drone sees your wedding the way no guest can: the ceremony from above, the aisle lined with chairs, the whole venue at golden hour, and every guest in one group photo.

How to choose a drone pilot
Compare drone quotes like any other service quote, with a few points specific to drone work.
Work you can see
Ask for recent aerial photos or drone footage close to your project: same kind of property, same kind of light, same kind of edit.
Insurance
Ask for proof of liability insurance that covers drone work, with its end date, before the day of the shoot.
A detailed quote
The scope, the deliverables, the time on site, the delivery time, the total price and what it includes.
Clear usage rights
Who can use the images, where and for how long: website, social media, advertising, print. Get it in writing.
A weather plan
Wind and rain can move a flight. A good quote names a backup date or explains how rescheduling works.
A realistic schedule
Planning a shoot in a busy downtown or at a large venue takes a few days of preparation. Book early for a fixed date like an event or a closing.
How much do drone services cost?
Pricing depends on the job and how it's billed by the pilot: per hour for aerial photography, per project for an edited video, per property for real estate, per visit for an inspection or a job site.
Each service page lists the typical rates we read in published sources, with the source and the date. The pilot sets the final price in their quote, based on your project.
