FAA Part 107 certified, $2M-insured drone photography and video for Gulf Coast real estate. Aerials that frame the lot, the water, and the neighborhood captured by a pilot who clears the airspace before he arrives.
Photos First, Always
On the Gulf Coast, “cousin with a drone” isn’t a strategy it’s an FAA violation waiting to happen.
Aerial - Gulf Coast
The Shots That Sell
Top-down framing that shows the full property, the lot lines, the driveway, and how the home sits on the parcel.
The Gulf, the sound, the bayou, the pool. Aerials are the only way to actually show “steps from the beach” or “deep-water access.”
The cinematic orbit pulling out from the front door to the full home the move that defines luxury listing video.
Schools nearby, marina access, the beach two blocks away, the trail system the location case made visually.
Exterior aerials timed to the sunset window the single most stopping-power frame in a typical scroll.
Low, slow flying push-ins that introduce the property cinematically the opening shot of every listing video.

Drone Questions
Part 107 is the FAA’s commercial drone certification. Any drone work flown for compensation in the U.S. legally requires the operator to hold a current Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate. Hobby drone flying isn’t the same thing and using a hobby pilot for a paid listing puts both the operator and the hiring agent in violation.
Yes $2M in drone-specific liability coverage, with per-shoot certificates of insurance available on request for properties or HOAs that require them.
Often yes, with proper authorization. Most Pensacola-area addresses sit in controlled airspace that requires LAANC clearance which I handle before the shoot. Some specific addresses inside active restricted military airspace genuinely can’t be flown, and in those cases I’ll tell you before booking, not after.
As a general rule: any waterfront listing, any property over a half acre, any home where the lot or location is a selling point, and any luxury listing. For tight city lots or small condos where the building doesn’t benefit from being seen from above, drone is often skippable.
Drone shoots reschedule free of charge for unsafe wind, heavy rain, or low ceilings. Light wind or partial cloud usually doesn’t affect the shoot I’ll let you know on the morning if conditions are marginal.
For standard listing packages, no you receive the final color-graded delivery. For longer-form productions or repeated brokerage retainers, raw delivery can be arranged.
48 hours for photos. Drone-only photo shoots deliver in 48 hours as well, alongside any other media from that visit. Drone Videos are typically 5 days or less.
Yes standard service area covers Pensacola. No travel fee inside 20 miles of the studio; longer hauls quoted up front.
