What should I look for in a drone company?
The FAA requires Part 107 certification for all commercial operations of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
RULE OF THUMB: Keep it Safe & Legal.
We adhere to strict safety protocols and regulations, including conducting pre-flight checks, monitoring weather conditions, and maintaining a safe distance from people and buildings.
L.I. Drone Shots holds a Part 107 certification and a full-liability insurance policy for UAS Commercial Operations.
What areas does L.I. Drone Shots cover?
We primarily cover Nassau County and Suffolk County.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing varies depending on the scope of the project and the services requested. We offer competitive pricing and are happy to provide a detailed quote upon request.
What is the process?
When we are informed of a job, we research the site where the work is to be performed and determine if there are any restrictions which may limit or prevent us from flying. Depending on the area, waivers from the FAA may be required to operate within certain airspace.
Next, we pick a time that works for everyone and put it in the schedule. To get the best quality shots, we'll want to make sure the weather is nice and determine which time of day the lighting is best for that particular location.
After the pictures and videos are taken, we will process them and complete any editing as requested. Prior to the final delivery, a draft will be sent for your review.
Once you are satisfied, we will finalize the product and send it over to you.
​
The turnaround time can be as short as same day and as long as a week depending on the final product. Typically, pictures can be turned around in 24 hours and a video can be 3-7 days.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with a variety of businesses, including but not limited to, real estate agencies, construction companies, recreational businesses. We also work with private individuals looking to capture aerial footage of their properties or events.
What drone do you use?
We use the DJI Phantom 4 Pro which is quadcopter and capable of 20mp images and 4k UHD video. The camera has 3 axis stabilization which allows for an ultra-smooth video.
Generally speaking, we can shoot 20 minutes of footage at a time and carry multiple batteries so we can continue working without having to wait for batteries to charge.
