When Do You Need to Hire a Commercial Drone Photographer?

In today's competitive market, standing out is crucial. When visuals matter—and let’s face it, they always do—hiring a commercial drone photographer can really up your game. From real estate to solar to advertising and TV, aerial photography offers perspectives and a wow-factor that ground shots simply can't capture. This is where Extreme Aerial Productions soars above the rest. As masters of aerial photography and videography, we offer services as unique as your needs.

Why Hire a Commercial Drone Photographer?

Investing in an expert aerial photographer is more than just having a high-tech gadget; it's about tapping into the skills of a true expert to enhance your visual storytelling. Here’s when bringing in a pro can make the difference, and ultimately boost your bottom line. 


Real Estate Marketing

In real estate, first impressions are everything. A commercial drone pilot can provide stunning aerial shots and videos of properties, highlighting features and presenting neighborhoods in a way that traditional photography can’t come close to. Imagine showcasing the sprawling landscape of a country estate or the intricate layout of a new housing development. These aerial views can be the deciding factor for potential buyers, giving your listings an edge over the competition, which is why investing in commercial drone photography is a no-brainer when it comes to selling property.


Track and Share Construction Progress

Managing construction projects involves tracking progress and ensuring everything sticks to the schedule. A professional drone pilot can capture detailed aerial footage throughout an entire project. These visuals offer valuable insights for monitoring development, verifying compliance with safety regulations, and giving stakeholders a comprehensive bird’s-eye view of project progress.

Precision Data with LiDAR

When precision is paramount, LiDAR technology offers unparalleled accuracy, and this is definitely a case where you have to call in a professional. Data is gathered when a LiDAR payload is attached to a drone. Then, using lasers to measure distances, LiDAR creates highly detailed 3D models and maps. This technology is ideal for topographic surveys, flood risk assessments, and other applications where detailed spatial data is crucial. 


Solar Plant Inspection and Monitoring

To ensure peak performance, drone-based solar plant PV inspections offer unmatched versatility and accuracy. These inspections provide quick and comprehensive evaluations of panels and systems. With a commercial drone photographer on your team, you gain insights that traditional methods can't match, eliminating the need for manual surveillance. Additionally, a pro will know how to interpret data, helping you identify potential problems before they arise and monitor data to assess risk. This advanced approach is ideal for maintaining solar installations and top performance.

360-Degree Maps

For a comprehensive view of a location, 360-degree mapping provides a fully immersive experience. This technology captures panoramic images perfect for virtual tours, site analysis, and more. However, achieving high-quality results requires a professional who understands the intricacies of the equipment and software. A pro ensures precise capture and seamless stitching of images, resulting in the highest quality content.


Capturing Event 

When you film events from the sky, you get a unique perspective that ground-based photography simply can't achieve. Whether it's a large-scale corporate event or an intimate wedding, a commercial drone photographer can deliver breathtaking footage. Gorgeous aerial imagery adds an extra layer of magic to your memories. Plus, it’s a surefire way to wow your guests.

What to Look for in a Commercial Drone Photographer

Not all drone pilots are created equal. When hiring, consider the following: 


  1. Certification and Experience Ensure your drone pilot is FAA-certified. This isn't just a legal requirement; it guarantees they have the necessary training and knowledge to operate safely and effectively. Experience is also key—look for a portfolio that showcases a variety of work, demonstrating versatility and expertise.

  2. Quality of Equipment High-quality drones make a significant difference in the final product. Top-tier cameras and stabilizing technology ensure crisp, clear images and smooth videos. Ask potential hires about their equipment to ensure you're getting the best. Here’at Extreme Aerial, we’re tech geeks, constantly adding new drones to our arsenal. Check out our fleet of drones.
