Frequently asked questions

HOW MUCH DOES AERIAL FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES COST?

This depends on the needs of the project. Typically, there will be an hourly rate for the aerial shooting as the procedure for flying a drone requires that a pilot and another team member be on-site for safety and assistance purposes.

CAN YOU FLY OVER A CROWD?

We are based in the DFW area and operate throughout all of Texas.  For the right project we will travel anywhere in the world where it is legal to fly and film.
