Airspace
Do You Need FAA Authorization to Fly a Drone at Your Address?
Most of the good real estate in South Florida sits under somebody's airspace. Here is how to find out whether yours does, and what it changes about your booking.
Real estate
The Best Time of Day to Shoot a Waterfront Property from the Air
The same house at 9am and at 2pm is two different listings, and on the water the gap is not subtle.
Construction
What a Construction Progression Series Should Actually Contain
Most progression sets fail for one reason. Nobody fixed the camera positions, so the images cannot be compared to each other.
Inspections
Drone Roof Inspection vs Sending Someone Up a Ladder
Flying the roof is faster, safer and better documented. It also cannot replace a hands-on inspection in every case, and it is worth knowing which cases those are.
Seasonal
Hurricane Season: Documenting Property Before and After the Storm
The most useful photograph in a storm claim is the one taken before the storm. Hardly anybody has it.
Real estate
Aerial Photos vs Aerial Video: Which Does Your Listing Need?
Stills get the listing opened. Video keeps somebody watching once it is. Most listings need one of those more than the other.
Real estate

Hiring

Events
Aerial Video for Events and Venues: What Is Actually Possible
The shot everybody pictures, the drone sweeping low over a crowd, is the hardest one to do legally. Everything around it is straightforward.
