Before you even think about picking up a drone, you’ll want to do a thorough research of the location you plan to shoot. When shooting real estate drone videos, a property’s proximity to nearby businesses and neighbors can greatly affect your ability to shoot. If the property is close to a residential neighborhood, you’ll want to consider the noise, potential privacy issues and FAA regulations on drone use near people and buildings. When shooting hotels, restaurants or other businesses, you’ll want to research the hours that property is in use and when it’s closed. This will help you avoid unnecessary interruptions, as well as any noise complaints from neighbors.
Depending on the scope of your drone video shoot, you may want to hire a commercial drone pilot. Their skill set, licensing and knowledge can make the difference between a successful shoot and an FAA violation. A drone pilot who specializes in videography will have the experience and skill necessary to make sure your drone video is shot safely and with as few interruptions as possible. Hiring a professional drone pilot will also help you avoid fines and potential legal issues related to operating a drone without proper licensing or FAA clearance.
